what is a hallmark movie

A Hallmark movie is a made-for-TV movie that is often shown on the Hallmark Channel or Hallmark Movies & Mysteries. These movies are typically romantic comedies that follow a predictable plotline, often involving single women finding love at Christmas or families reuniting during the holidays. The characters in these movies tend to be white, and a lot of the movies have a similar basic plot. Despite being criticized for being cheesy and formulaic, Hallmark movies have a large following and are popular for their feel-good, heartwarming stories. They are also relatively cheap to produce, with a budget of around $2 million per film.
