As the holidays approach, so do the made for TV movies! I've already watched two and am excited to watch as many more as I can. It's so funny how I can put up with a lot of cheesiness with these things. For some reason, I just love them (mainly the Christmas ones). I've learned a few things in my viewing:
*They typically always involve a man/woman who is a workaholic, in need of finding that special someone to show them what's really important in life.
*Many consist of big city people finding themselves (through various circumstances) in a small, quaint town. At first they mock these cute towns. However by the end, they want to live there (usually because the love interest resides there).
*These small towns often are threatened by evil corporate monsters. They want to tear down historic places and built condos/high rises instead.
*People fall in love and propose marriage after only a few weeks.
Here are the two I've seen that I would recommend: Growing the Big One (despite me NOT being a Shannon Doherty fan!) and Fairfield Road.

Oh, and don't forget that the big city person is nearly always an attorney or a marketing executive.
Tooo funny!! Love the formula. =)
My husband and I fell in love and he proposed after only a few weeks.. :-) (He was a cop and I was a waitress and he sat at the table I was serving one evening... which could also be an awesome made for tv movie.) :-)
Hey Fitzfam...have you ever blogged about the story? If so, send me link to that post! I'd love to read it. :)
