LMAO I am not familiar with that one but I am not at all surprised. Honestly, I don't mind it so much. I think there's room for art that hews close to the old standby formulas. And who knows, maybe this paint-by-numbers rom-com will, accidentally or otherwise, tap into the real anxieties people feel about becoming increasingly dependent on and/or intruded upon by technology that they don't understand, that manipulates the window they have on the world in insidious but also unpredictable ways.

Probably not if it's made by hallmark, I think their brand is "rigidly formulaic with just enough of a modern twist that contemporary audiences can comfortably imagine themselves in the story" which makes them allergic to the uncomfortable examination of the human condition that can make art that helps people question whether a better world is possible, but it's not without precedent.
