RomCom Review's Thoughts on New June 2024 Hallmark Movies
The June lineup for Hallmark Channel is filled with a LOT of unfamiliar faces. It's clear that Hallmark is testing new talent on the network by pairing unknown actors with ones we love to make the change more palatable.
I'm conflicted. How about you? On one hand, we know that younger talent must eventually replace our favorite stars when they "outgrow" certain roles. In other words, you can't have a 50-year-old star pretending to be 25. At the same time, many fans have been bombarding Hallmark with requests to see more of their old favorite stars. Let's hope Hallmark isn't shoving them quietly out the back door!
Destination movies, especially during the month of June, is a great theme for Summer. However, many of these plots sound very stale, aside from the one with Andrew Walker and the new mystery.
We must stay open-minded and give the newbies a fair chance, but I'm just not feeling warm fuzzies. Let's hope that changes.
