My favorite channel to fall asleep to on the weekends as of late has been The Hallmark Channel. Not only do the movies stream throughout the night, but they ALWAYS end on a high note, and I’ve yet to see a scary commercial air. The witching hour is a real thing, you guys!
A few weeks ago, I couldn’t fall asleep and got sucked in to watching Rome in Love. The plot was simple enough.. A remake of “Roman Holiday” is being filmed in Rome and an unknown woman is chosen to play the lead. Once in Rome, she meets a reporter/aspiring novelist, who gets the exclusive story on her. They fall in love and the rest is history. Typical for The Hallmark Channel.
Rome in Love was so sweet that it inspired me to watch the original since I’d never seen. Before you judge, make note that I typically watch movies/shows for the outfit inspiration and Roman Holiday (due to budgeting) was filmed in black and white, which does the costumes no justice and reason for my hesitation.
I really appreciated the moment she accidentally slips off her heels while on princess duty — not because I’m a princess and can relate (that would be another Meghan with an ‘h’) but because that 4:59pm feeling – knowing it’s almost time to change into your commuter flip-flops – is beyond orgasmic. Am I right or #amirite?!
I found the scene where Aubrey Hepburn’s character rebels by chopping off her hair to be absolutely horrifying. I legit have nightmares about this kind of thing happening to me, yet Princess Ann chose to do it.
Does anyone else get Tyler C. vibes from Mr. Bradley?
