Good old Hallmark gives us our first Christmas movie of the year, Checkin’ It Twice. I want this title to be a pun but if that is what they intended, it’s a terrible pun.

Ashley (Kim Matula) is a real estate agent living in New York City originally from Idaho Falls. Scott (Kevin McGarry) is a hockey player who has just been traded to a team in Idaho Falls. After a mix-up at the airport, the two become friends. Ashley helps Scott realize what he really wants out of life and Scott helps Ashley realize that maybe New York isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

Of all of the boring Christmas movies I have watched, this may be the most boring. Literally nothing happens. There is the big airport mix-up with their debit cards, which is resolved in the first 15 minutes of the movie. There is a stupid game where they try to catch plastic fish ornaments out of a container of other Christmas ornaments. But that is about it. They talk about decorating a Christmas tree but we don’t actually get to see it happening. (Well, they stand next to the tree with ornaments in their hands. That doesn’t count.) And the biggest Christmas faux pas?

THERE IS NO KISS.

Hallmark made me sit through 90 minutes of nothing and I don’t even get The Kiss at the end. Bah. No one watches romance movies for there to be no romance. This is more like a “becoming friends” movie.
