Sadly, made-for-TV movies aren't exactly what one would call world-class cinema. They tend to be cliché and full of bad acting, which doesn't help when the narrative is difficult to watch. Hey, it can't be easy to act out cheesy scenes full of campy, overused tropes. It makes serious scenes difficult to watch, and romantic scenes are nothing short of cringy. Sadly, Hallmark has its fair share of horrible TV movies.
From Santa Tell Me to Oliver's Ghost, Hallmark is a guilty party when it comes to over-the-top family programming that is straight-laced with ridiculous plotlines, aka career people going back to their country home only to fall in love with their high school sweetheart and get married, finally finding what they were missing from life. They're very formulaic with unimaginative narratives, and the plots are easy to guess from start to finish. So, here, in all of their cliché glory, are some of the worst TV movies Hallmark has in its catalog.
