So there are these two new music teachers at a mixed private school. They’re both single [pokes invisible friend in ribs] but she’s got a classical background and he’s more of a with-it pop music guy. She’s a Type A and he’s the easy-going sort. Plus they are both enlisted to compete in a televised Christmas song competition with their students and the winning teacher is guaranteed a job! There are SO MANY barriers being set up between them. How are they ever going to get together?
Our combatants are played by Natasha Henstridge and Gabe Logan(?) I think this may have been shot over three days because Nat’s entire wardrobe consists of a tight-fitting red dress, a tight-fitting green dress and a tight-fitting blue dress. Can I say something about the set design? Yes? Okay. At some point about twenty minutes in I noticed that there are Xmas decorations in every, I mean EVERY shot. There are no exceptions that I could find. And to boot they are Xmas colours-silver tinsel, light and dark shades of green and red that come at you from every direction. The background stuff is the most optically harassing because it is soft-lit and the colours bleed/blur into each other so much that you think you’re crying.
The cringeing-est plot device comes about when they both go on-line (to the very same site, no less!) create a profile and end up meeting each other on a blind date. “There must be some kind of mistake!” Nat stammers before stomping away. Later that evening their respective best buddies both convince them to create a profile that’s the complete opposite. Do you see what’s coming? (her on Christmas morning multiple times no doubt*) Of course they end up on another date and she’s having none of it but Gabe throws out the smooth line (sticks finger down throat) “Do you want to sit down, have a glass of wine and figure out how this whole thing happened?” Well, they’ve got far more in common than they thought after they start yakking about the “good old days”.
Nat’s Big Reveal Once She Finally Let’s Her Guard Down?-She caught her ex cheating on [chokes back tears] Christmas Eve! How could he?
As far as the singing competition goes, they combine their teams and knock everyone’s socks off and both keep their jobs and so they get to spend EVERY SINGLE DAY TOGETHER AT WORK AND AT HOME FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES.
That’s some happy ending.
*did I mention that her dresses were form-fitting?
We must end the reign of the Hallmark Channel.
I like how schools in places with snow have enough money to just go and hire TWO teachers. Wish we had those sweetass Minnesota oil reserves here in Arizona. Instead, we barely have enough money to keep funneling directly into private prisons.
I prefer Brad Logan.

Natasha, did you need the money that bad? Everybody a DFO would have chipped in five bucks to stop you from doing this to yourself.

Or just do Ghosts Of Mars 2, 3; The Return, 4; Back to Earth, etc.
TANGER IS ALL THE PENS ALL
She’s single and she’s only 41.
TARGET IN RETICULE
Wait, seriously?!? Does she live in LA?
No idea.
I wouldn’t get my hopes up anyway.
What a Bimmons wants, a Bimmons gets.
Let’s not forget her character in Species was named Sil.
Better luck next time brah.
And said alien character in “Species” killed the guy after she mated with him to have a semi human baby. So the sequel could be kinda cool and with nudity. Judging by these form-fitting dresses and the potential for rough sex and murder the sequel could be a whole bunch better.
Yep.
Remember when she was Species?
Good times.
I liked that more than I’m willing to admit to on this…oh, crap.
I keep the gif of her taking off that white bra close at hand AT ALL TIMES.

Are your eyes bleeding yet?
I have you to thank.

Isn’t that wonderful? My work and my home life, coming together in such a nice way.
Could be worse.

To be fair, Christmas Eve sex is pretty spectacular.
Somehow I feel like Ashley Madison had an ad blitz scheduled for that day, but canceled it at the last minute.
Balls speaks the truth.
“You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I’m telling you why
I AM COMING”
…through your unlocked window
So quietly your alarm didn’t ring-a-ding ding
Got my zip ties
Got my gag
…. well you’ve got the idea.
Best. Carol. Ever.
I like well done seasonal music too.

WOOOOOOOPS, misread.
Is this a thing you want to be exclusively your own?
Because I have some Forbidden History programs on the DVR that are DYING to get this treatment.
If you want it to be your own I won’t step on that, but it’s a hell of an idea that others may want to get in on as well.
I say have at it. The more fun we can have with crazy-ass programming, the better.
Be funny and entertaining is all I ask.
Great.
Some of the shit on these programs would have 5-year-olds going “Waaaaiiiiiiittttt a sec here…”
So this was The Deal, huh? Canada gets universal healthcare and not-being-reviled-overseas, and in exchange you have to watch these movies?
Satan is indeed a cruel master.
You must not get the Hallmark Channel…
Gabe Logan is a badass.

He also does a terrific Chris Pratt.
