Is it bad that I thought it was going to be Raycon, even said it out loud when thinking 'Yes, I would share Xmas dinner with this sponsor', just to be disappointed that I was wrong?
I have a new metric for humanity: The day hallmark and netflix shovelling festival or holiday themed rom-slops movies of gay people along with other relationships is the day we'll have grown a little as a species. Pardon my incoherence, recovering sprained ankle, painkillers, Merry Christmas, happy holidays and happy new year all.
So, when the neighbours discover that our protagonist has been dating a snowman, as you do, their collective response is a casual "It's Christmas." Meaning, that if it had been Easter, the Fourth of July, or Halloween, then they'd have a more appropriately terrified reaction?
This joke was one of the reasons ai ended up giving the movie a try.. and then it was the only thing I laughed at before turning off halfway through. Really hoped for more from Boyle and Doug Judy
@@dareisayit Netflix's promo clip didn't feature any of the main characters, it was just a scene between those two actors. They knew what they were doing lol
Say what you will, but I loved how absolutely unserious Hot Frost was. My mom and I love watching these cringfests, and we had a blast. Sometimes, a little bit of ridiculous is needed. And Lacey is a very good actress. She always gives it her all and I admire that.
Agreed, Lacey didn't phone it in, when you couldn't blame her if she did. She brought a lot of heart to her performance, making you care about her character, despite the silly situation.
I was surprised at how much I actually liked it! And it didn't have weird life lessons about how jobs in the city are sucking the joy out of a woman. The reverse Pretty Woman thing made me laugh.
I'd love to see what you all see in Lacey Chabert. I find her to be completely one note, boring, and a terrible performance kisser every single time. It's kind of hard to watch, but I keep trying because I want to like her again.
Same. I spend all year watching great films, both large and small, but every single Christmas season I binge watch these crappy movies because they’re just…goofy? It’s a “background noise” or “I’ve had a horrible fucking week and need something that requires nothing from me and whose drama will be solved in 5 minute” type of movie.
They’re self aware in the last Lindsay Lohan one from last year too, she’s watching that Vanessa Hudgens movie in one scene haha. Kinda getting high on their own supply.
That is why I loved that movie, but I feel for the most part Netflix romance movies are able to balance out the cheese while reigning it in when they need to.
Her recent movies with Netflix aren’t really my cup of tea and I haven’t seen any of them but I’m happy for her comeback. She deserves it. She’s actually a good actress and it’s a shame her life and career were derailed for a while but it seems like she’s doing well now and I’m here for it.
Quick fix for Hot Frosty: the snowman is sculpted by HER, because she is an ice/snow/sand sculptor who just lost her husband. The snowman is in the image of him, leading to a lot of conflicting feelings among the hijinks. It could touch on how people project what they want their partners to be like and how they lash out when they differ, or the pain of associating your new partner with an old one.
I'm really not buying the premise of the first one. Even if you don't want to bring up that you dated someone, why is the only choice "pretend we don't know each other?" "We went to school together" is actually a viable option. Yeah, it means you have to try harder when writing your movie, but it at least reflects how real people would act.
@@jisookomblackpinkkru256ok but she was specifically so DUMB! Like she herself talked about whether the bottom of a wine glass being concave is a sign of quality then gave a twist off????
Netflix will cancel a really interesting, thought-provoking show like "1899", but we're gonna get seven friggin' sequels of "Hot Frosty". Something like "Hot Frosty 2: Thawing Out", "Hot Frosty 3: Freezer Burn"...ya know, I don't know.
I read the description to that 'Our Little Secret' film as saying that it was about two exes who found out that each others parents were siblings, not that it was their partners who were siblings. That would have been a very different film, to say the least.
and weirdly within the themes of pretty little liars... kinda wish that was the plot because ian harding being in an absolute shit show of chaos and very inappropriate relationships AGAIN would've been really fun
As a ruggedly handsome, but otherwise unimpressive, rural male, I have to say I do enjoy the memetic messaging of Hallmark/GreatAmericanFamily Christmas films. I pull 2-4 "big city women learning the true meaning of Christmas" every winter.
No Amanda the best AND silliest one this year is absolutely the one where Christian Milian (of AM to PM) is desperately trying to get tickets to a sold out Pentatonix Christmas concert. It’s deranged!
I actually loved Hot Frosty due to it being sweet, wholesome, and incredibly self-aware. I also loved the chemistry between the cast. Everyone looked liked they were having fun on set. Meet me Next Christmas was fun to watch, but I am a Christina Milian fan so that is the main reason why. But I felt the moments she had with the love interest were sweet and adorable and it is ok to see that even in a sappy Christmas movie.
The Netflix Christmas cinematic universe is genuinely a horrifying concept because they never fully take into account the full implications of their lore they set up
Sounds like the snowman one used the male version of the born sexy yesterday trope 😬 always concerning when it's a girl but I guess they were trying to be different
Tbh me and and my partner are having great fun making a low rent christmas movie drinking game. Prompts include Perfect Morning Makeup, Ex Disney Channel Actors, Dead Parents, and Tartan.
You're a good person giving us the warnings we need to hear at this time of year when the warm fuzzies lure us. I'm sorry it was your eyes. Merry Christmas!
Didn’t scroll much so idk if anyone mentioned this, but the mom from Merry Gentlemen is Aunt Zelda from OG Sabrina the Teenage Witch! I thought I recognized her face, crazy to see her after all these years!
To be fair about the mom in Our Little Secret dating the guy who she knew wife was cheating with her husband, the mom also thought that he knew about the relationship and even said “You didn’t know?” I liked Our Little Secret, it's a classic Christmas romcom nothing to take seriously. However I felt bad for Logan's girlfriend. Compared to her brother staying out late and lying about it the worst thing Cassie did was be on her phone and make sure that Logan was wearing an appropriate coat to church. Even when she said no to Logan taking Avery I don't blame her since I would also be wondering why my boyfriend quickly volunteered to drive another woman who she thinks he just met. She even seemed sad when she realized he wasn't proposing since again in her mind even though they're the newer relationship they're geting pretty serious which is why she brought him to family Christmas. Also not gonna lie if I were Avery's dad and heard Logan say that her mom would be disapointed I would've thrown his ass into the snow to freeze
I watched both Lohan Christmas films and Hot Frosty this week and the mean girls references and actors in them gave me LIFE. I will happily have this happen every year for the next 30+ years. Give every single mean girls cast member a christmas movie.
Always love the video dedication Amanda even though I no longer have a Netflix account and instead spent this weekend watching older Christmas movies like The Bells of St. Mary's, The Bishop's Wife (both free to watch on UA-cam) and The Santa Clause.
I thought the ending of hot frost would reveal the snowman creator who resembles the sculpture and his personality, saying some sappy thing like “I hope he brought joy to people and had a nice time” whilst looking at his melted work and then become the final love interest
Lindsay Lohan's recent Irish Netflix movie left me... bemused I guess is to right word. I'm Irish and there are just so many *weird* choices in that movie. Why hire an Irish American actress for a film where 90% of the plot takes place in Ireland and not give her character some Irish connection? Why have a Brit be the love interest in said movie? Why is this film unable to tell the difference between genies, leprechauns and Irish Catholic Saints? I prefer Lacey Chabert has an actress but I have to admit I'm drawn like a moth to a flame over what sort of insanity another Lohan Netflix movie might bring.
As an Irish American, I always wonder what Irish Irish people think of all our "set in Ireland and Ireland is a character in of itseld" movies lol so this is interesting to read
@@savannah115 The weirdest part is that Ireland sort of *isn't* a character in and of itself in 'Irish Wish'. Sure it is set in Ireland and there are Irish supporting characters (including a bizarre appearance by Saint Brigid as essentially a mischievous wish granting genie) but the love interest is British (not just played by a British actor the character is actually English) and Lohan (who has Irish ancestry on both sides and is a fecking redhead!) does not even play an Irish American. It is just such a bizarre serious of choices. At least Amy Adams's 'Leap Year', while not a great film or even a good film seemed to have a muddled affection for Ireland.
I don't want to do Christmas this year and I wasn't intending to watch any cheesy Christmas movies but alas, I watched all three of these. Although I didn't feel like I wasted my time, I did fall asleep during the last 3rd of Merry Gentlemen and woke up 5 minutes at the end - and I didn't feel I missed anything.
The merry gentleman is just a disney alumni movie, the main girl is from avalon high and tomorrowland, the mom from wizards of waverly place, freaky friday was disney.
Fun fact: Lacey Chabert actually is a hallmark professional! She’s starred in a TON of hallmark movies over the last ten or so years. My mom loves her movies lol
I haven't seen the video yet, but it's so funny you've published it just now, because I've recently seen my only Hallmark movie - A season of miracles (1999) - and I loved every second of it. 🙈 It's my second favourite Christmas movie now, haha
Our Little Secret was cute. Nothing amazing, but my roommates and I had a good time watching it. Kristen Chenowith's character being a huge boymom was funny. And I also got so much secondhand embarrassment from Avery giving the sermon while high as a kite
I live for all of these terrible Christmas movies. My brothers and I put together bingo cards with all of the most common tropes and we play "Bad Christmas Movie Bingo" every year. I've been pre-screening some movies this year while making Christmas presents for them. My problem with the landlord in Merry Gentlemen is that with a standard lease, the landlord is responsible for repairs and maintenance. So why is she charging this bar $30K for repairs and maintenance plus back rent (because she keeps increasing rent without making repairs). These people needed a lawyer, not strippers.
Britt Robertson did not slay The CW in the early 2010's with "Life Unexpected" and "The Secret Circle" to be known as "the opening kill from Scream 4", that is so rude! 🤣🤣🤣
Watched Hot Frosty with my besties, and even tho we didn't find the snowman hot, we did make the most thirsty and down bad comments every single time he was on screen
Tbh I feel like Lacey Chabert Hallmark acting in contrast with the other characters more comedic acting kinda adds to the whole "self awareness" vibe of the movie
Do not speak ill of Hot Frosty! It provided so much entertainment when I convinced my cousins to watch it. You simply cant look away. They could have stopped at anytime, but they could not get up and leave.
i half paid attention to the merry gentlemen when my mum watched it and i enjoyed two things - there was one dancer who felt very much 'no thoughts head empty' and i loved him, and the old man dancer was played by maxwell caulfield who played Michael in grease 2 and that was exciting to me
Hot Frosty was ridiculous, but I actually sorta enjoyed Little Secret; the acting wasn't as bad as expected. I skipped the stripper one, and thanks for the heads-up that I didn't miss much. 😂😂
The real magic about Hot Frosty, IMO, is that Dustin Milligan somehow got younger and hotter since he played Ted on Schitts Creek (and he was pretty darn cute in that series). I had to look him up, because he looked so familiar, but I couldn't place where I'd seen him before.
I recently watched a Christmas movie centered around a Corgi because I just knew that there had to be a dog centered holiday movie. I'm not gonna lie......I didn't hate it. And I don't really like Hallmark style movies. I think the cute Corgis saved it.
Chad michael Murray's movie reminds me of "The Full Monty" and usually when you have an americanized version of a British movie or TV show it doesn't end well
I think my wackiest Christmas watch this year was Red One. Santa gets kidnapped and elves, naughty listers, and Christmas characters have to somehow save him and stop the evil plot?! And I'm on board :D
The Chad Micheal Murray movie is the only one me and my boyfriend have turned off so far this Christmas lol, and we've seen some ridiculous ones! But they've all been heartwarming, funny to laugh at AND with and, Christmas decorated beyond belief, which we definitely enjoy!
Hot Frosty made me ask a lot of questions like; "who made him?" and "Is he based on someone else and if so, does that make him some kind of magic clone?"

@@najhoantdating Uncle Sam? That sounds like a Netflix original. COPYRIGHT ! The next 4th of July romcom.
I did enjoy the brief "Mean Girls" shout out, when Lacey Chabert mentions that Lindsay Lohan looks like an old high school classmate.
"You can't sit with us!!!"
I like in the recent Lindsey Lohan one she had a line like, "so you agree you think she's pretty." A deeper cut one that was fun.
They should have named Lacey's character Gretchen and have that be the only reference to her past.
This joke was one of the reasons ai ended up giving the movie a try.. and then it was the only thing I laughed at before turning off halfway through. Really hoped for more from Boyle and Doug Judy
That was literally the only laugh that movie got out of me
Hot Frosty gave us a Doug Judy and Boyle team up? They know what they did there 😂
But they didn't have him sing I think? And that's a shame.
@@GiulianaBruna they sing in the end credits

Hot Frosty was surprisingly wholesome and sweet! It was silly but it knew what it was doing
Yep that’s why I love it
Fun Fact: Chabert's character off handedly mentions Aldovia in her movie, so it is in the Christmas Prince universe.
Somewhere there is a much raunchier cut of Merry Gentlemen… I worked on it, I know it exists somewhere!

Hot Frosty was ridiculous, but I actually sorta enjoyed Little Secret; the acting wasn't as bad as expected. I skipped the stripper one, and thanks for the heads-up that I didn't miss much. 😂😂
Hot Frosty sounds like someone wanted to make a Christmas version of the Pygmalion myth.
17:44 Hartnett-ussy has my crying! 😂
12:00 I was not expecting Victoria, the sister from Mike & Molly, to be in the movie! 😂
The real magic about Hot Frosty, IMO, is that Dustin Milligan somehow got younger and hotter since he played Ted on Schitts Creek (and he was pretty darn cute in that series). I had to look him up, because he looked so familiar, but I couldn't place where I'd seen him before.
I can't handle one "Hallmark" Christmas movie, let alone three. My hat's off to you!
I recently watched a Christmas movie centered around a Corgi because I just knew that there had to be a dog centered holiday movie. I'm not gonna lie......I didn't hate it. And I don't really like Hallmark style movies. I think the cute Corgis saved it.
Speaking of Christmas, I hope Amanda watches Black Doves
It's the way I had to get almost obliterated to want to watch Lindsey's movie 😭 it was a treat oddly enough
CMM gives *major* Patrick Swayze from the SNL skit w/ Chris Farley vibes and I can *NOT* unsee it.
Another sleepless anxious night being made more bearable thanks to you ❤
Also I am so jealous I‘m dreaming of snowy christmas since I was a kid 😢
Chad michael Murray's movie reminds me of "The Full Monty" and usually when you have an americanized version of a British movie or TV show it doesn't end well
"he's happier and around more, it's a win-win" LMFAO AHXHSSKSK
Contrasting these very simple and attempted wholesome movies with Amanda’s visceral reactions is just so great.
I think my wackiest Christmas watch this year was Red One. Santa gets kidnapped and elves, naughty listers, and Christmas characters have to somehow save him and stop the evil plot?! And I'm on board :D
The Chad Micheal Murray movie is the only one me and my boyfriend have turned off so far this Christmas lol, and we've seen some ridiculous ones! But they've all been heartwarming, funny to laugh at AND with and, Christmas decorated beyond belief, which we definitely enjoy!
I LOVE your Christmas sweeter so much omg
Netflix IS my new Hallmark gurl!
I wannabthank Amanda for introducing me to my all time favorite Christmas movie Happiest Season
I thought the ad they put out for their Christmas movies was SATIRE
Honestly, these are so fun to put on in the evening when you're winding down for bed, you can just switch your brain off and be there for the ride😂
You may think thats a cow on the sweater, but in reality, its an alien wearing a cow hat. Can't unsee it
"you brought nothing, and don't think you're slick because of the carpenter line in a Christmas movie" - thank you :))))))))))))))))
When Avery discovered the non-aging portraits of Erika, I was so ready for this movie to turn into a vampire horrorfilm.
Somewhere Canadce Cameron Bure is currently thinking.... well dodged that particular bullet...
Hot Frosty made me ask a lot of questions like; "who made him?" and "Is he based on someone else and if so, does that make him some kind of magic clone?"
16:46 never apologize for a good pun!! 😂😂😂
“Holidate”. A raunchy Christmas movie
Fun bad is a perfect description for Madam Web 😂
