You, Me and the Christmas Trees
OG The Wonder Years reunion! With Christmas Trees!
It’s not every day that we get to see an OG The Wonder Years reunion!
Olivia (Hallstar Danica McKellar) is an arborist called in to help solve the mystery of why Jack (Benjamin Ayres)’s Christmas trees are losing their needles within hours of being cut. No, this is not a euphemism.
Jason Hervey (TWY’s Wayne Arnold) appears in his first acting role since 2013 as, who else, the bad guy named Dwayne. I see what you did there, Hallmark (shoutout to screenwriter Julie Sherman Wolfe for excellent naming).
This flick is full of dad jokes galore, with a quaint country inn set.
Decent first release from Hallmark this season.
Wait! Why do I recognize that person?
You’re old and you watched The Wonder Years.
Oh, and Benjamin Ayres had a small story arc on Suits, so this Hallmark movie has a royal connection!
SCORE: 6/10
