Friends, at times, I just wish humans would talk to each other about their ducking feelings! I mean, how the duck do you cope with fake dating if you can’t mention that it’s becoming real dating? But alas, Star tells me it’s all part of the trope. “Still,” quacked I, “it did make A Friends and Family Christmas beak-scrapingly frustrating in places.” And Star had to grudgingly agree.
But! The leads (Humberly González and Ali Liebert) were both excellent, the story is touching, the supporting actors were wonderful, and here’s the biggest duck-flap yet: This was Hallmark’s FIRST-EVER LESBIAN ROMANCE, and dear duck alive, the final beak-smack (or “kiss” in non-duck English) was super-ducking moving! Because visibility is one of the most flipper-tickling, goldfish-nibbling, romantic things in the whole ducking world. So, my feathered friends, I highly recommend this one. Just remember you’re going to need to chew on some pondweed while everyone’s forgetting to, you know, actually ducking say real stuff.
Moving yarn though. Truly. And flippers up to the diversity, including in terms of race. More like this please, Hallmark!
And maybe next time you’ll include a duck. (Not roasted, obviously.)
