I’ve never seen a hallmark movie is this true? Lmao

Generally? Yeah.

A lot of them are also set around Christmas time, because that's another draw. A lot of the time the female "protagonist" is single or in a "bad" relationship at the start, or there are two men interested in her, but one is "emotionally distant".

The thing is, those are very low stakes for a movie, so they all seem to use the exact same plot lines and such.

They're all sort of Velveeta level cheesy. That fake cheesiness that is sometimes a guilty pleasure for people who are sitting around the house all day long with nothing better to do.

My wife watches these movies constantly. I can watch the first five minutes of a Hallmark movie and tell you exactly what's going to happen at the end, even if I've never seen it. There's like 3 plots, and they just keep recycling them with different actors and slight changes.

Oh, it's true in 2/3 plotlines.
