It seems like the year 2012 was maybe one of the lower points for Hallmark Christmas Movies, as we look at Love at the Thanksgiving Day Parade. Depsite the efforts of Autumn Reeser and Antonio Cupo, I found this script as basic and formulaic as they come. Let's look at the full movie and break down every cringe inducing moment.

Fr we know nothing about Gretchen really and we're supposed to love the protagonist because she can't stop buying old clothes, loves bookstores too much, and can convince a parade organizer that money doesn't matter.

I once went on a date with a guy around the time of March Madness. I had painted my nails the colors of my school and even painted on a semi-decent rendering of our logo. He noticed and asked about them, and I got excited talking about doing the logo freehand, because I'm pretty terrible at art in general. He laughed and said, "Aw, it's cute to find out you're shallow, too." I was just like, "EXCUSE ME? Shallow? Because I painted my nails?" He kinda tried to walk it back, like, "Oh, I meant because you're a scientist and generally all serious," but he never apologized and then acted like I was crazy for getting offended at being called "shallow." Douchebag didn't get another date.

“If he hasn’t married you in five years he’s not going to,” I always think things like this are such a weird thing to say. Like I know in the context of this movie he is meant to be correct but like there’s a reason people have been pushing back marriage and having children, if they plan to do it at all. Love isn’t going to pay the _(average in my area, trust me I just got married)_ ~30k debt of having a wedding, love isn’t gonna make housing affordable, love isn’t gonna pay the hospital bill for giving birth, love isn’t insurance against your kid getting a broken arm.

[@cam4636]

Right? I think about people I know who can't get married because their combined finances would lose their disability/push them into an income bracket where they're too rich to get help but too poor to actually do anything...and then I look at the people I know who get married because they think getting married will fix their relationship issues...

[@clownfromclowntown]

I do agree with all that, but on a separate note a wedding doesn’t HAVE to be 30k. If two people who are genuinely in love really want to get married all it takes is an officiator, a backyard, and a few days of cooking.

[@janeeyre1990]

So, when I was a teenager, I was very emotionally repressed. Dated a guy for a while that I had no chemistry with and he was kind of rude to me, etc. He gave me a CD by the band Modest Mouse and there was one beautifully mournful song ("Little Motel") that I kept listening to. Over and over again on repeat. I told my boyfriend how much I liked that one particular song. Some months later, I finally broke up with him. It wasn't until afterward that I looked up the lyrics of the song and fully understood that it was about a relationship that had outlived its time but was dragging on. Sometimes our subconscious really does put the pieces of the puzzle together before our conscious mind does. And it results in telling your boyfriend that you really love the break up song on the album he gave you. Or dressing in mourning for your engagement. It is her literal Freudian slip.

I love that you always put in a couple of "hey remember these things are real and affect people in real life" messages in every video but they don't feel forced and I never feel talked down to.

[@LS-ew1zx]

Well I just discovered you and now I can't stop watching. I loved this movie when I saw it. Laughed so hard at your damn italian accent and hating her hats. "Spray blood in my face" had me dying. It's so hard to find dark humor done right.

[@reynaolvera7526]

That comment had me f#cking dying. “I swear to god if you Splash blood in my face I’m gonna climax” like ooooohmuhhhgawddd

[@elisaplays6163]

"Ah, so the chess game represented a game of chess." I laughed so hard.

[@care_hopexo]

*checking off movie list* “Dead parents” “Mother AND father” ✔️ 😂😂😂

[@SaphLily]

"Are you on any medication?" I was NOT expecting that 😂

[@alicia379]

I just love you, Tara Mooknee and Fundie Fridays so much. I need all of us to get together because I know we’d all mesh so well. Since I’m not a KZbinr, I at least think you 4 should get together! The collab of a century!

[@velvetine_dream]

A collab between Nick and Fundie Fridays where they watch something on Pureflix! Yes!!!

[@MyMuggins]

Cracking up at how proud you are to not name a food delivery app when you JUST got done asking if they had Uber then 😂 One of few you tubers who makes me actually laugh out loud 😂❤️

[@julesviolet27]

Thank you for feeding us on this glorious day, Nick 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@NickDiRamioTV]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@tawnyew]

Hope you like cardboard pizza with a side of giggles 😃

[@chatnoir9038]

Is that.. Martin Luther?

17:53 “With her _fiance_ ! Or no he hasn’t proposed yet…” my grandma to me in a few days on Thanksgiving asking why I’m not engaged yet

[@Ailacatailu]

For the ice cream scene, it makes sense if you pretend like the main character is struggling with bulimia and is trying to decide if she’s going to channel her stress about the parade into a binge/purge cycle. She successfully decides to fight the urge, and then the man decides to push her into it anyways

[@definitelynotashark1799]

Nick, I love how you throw in societal/political commentary every episode. I'm not in the US and most of these issues you bring up are WILD to me (like lack of equitable access to childcare and education, wtf), you present these issues so bite-sized and in a way that always makes me want to learn more

[@leslienope]

My favorite part of this whole video is that you made a cardboard pizza slice complete with drawn on toppings just for that bit

[@narcopsy]

Aren't romcom leads supposed to be likable? Like just a little bit? No?

[@cori742]

this is by far the worst thing to ever happen in chicago, including that whole fire situation.

[@whatifschrodingersboxwasacofin]

Ewwwww… most brand new sheets come straight off the factory floor. Just like the rat poop and who-knows-what-else. Always wash your sheets (and clothes) before using them. Love your work, as always, Nick! ❤️

[@tylerbenjamin328]

the way you actually addressed EDs and where to contact help is ACTUALLY amazing. Thank you. 🥰🥰🥰 also your video is the only way I could make it through this movie lol! its baaaaad girl

[@sillygoose420]

i have never hated a hallmark protagonist this much. this woman is psychotic.

[@cam4636]

I just kept thinking "Don't make me defend capitalism to a woman cosplaying a 1960's housewife. Don't make me do it. I won't survive."

[@toyamwarr]

I think I’ve already criticized this movie while my mom gleefully watched this movie. It’s hard to remember. Hallmark holiday movies have a habit of blending together.

[@NickDiRamioTV]

They sure do!!

[@purplekittycreates]

Lifetime and hallmark movies really were the reason i have main character syndrome. Thinking every person i make eye contact is “the one” and think ppl are watching me when im feeling cute and quirky 🙄

[@fourcatsandagarden]

tearing down buildings to put something new in that space is almost never the most profitable way to deal with a building, unless the building is super specialized and can't be renovated to be anything else or the building is in such a steep state of disrepair that it's too dangerous for people to be in. that book store was neither. mr. "I like to waste money while whining about budgets because secretly I just get off to making the poors suffer" is really freaking bad with money.

[@ontxtteredwxngs]

the natalie wood reference made me snort and then cringe at myself for laughing

[@pumpkabooichooseyou1969]

The amount of things they “borrowed” from you’ve got mail is astonishing

[@ticketyboo2456]

It's number of not amount... you would not be the Meg Ryan character lol

[@jschaetz]

The maniacal pizza-eating part made me laugh so hard omg

[@KayKay114]

"If there's a fire, the one thing you should save is your life!" 👏💯👏💯👏 I agree but I don't think people would appreciate me leaving the kids 🤣

[@ManderSchmidty]

Omg. My mom is literally watching this right now. Help. 🥴🙃 Edit: jk. It’s just another hallmark Christmas movie with no seasoning…

[@NickDiRamioTV]

Loll it can be so hard to tell!

[@ManderSchmidty]

@@NickDiRamioTV your checklist is spot on! You should write some of these.

[@dberka210]

Nick eating the cardboard pizza is my new sleep paralysis demon

[@cam4636]

A fun thing I discovered about myself watching this review is that karaoke renditions of Blondie's 'Heart of Glass' trigger my subconscious sleeper-agent instinct to *kill*

[@Emily-kd2zv]

I love having a white generic romance movie name because it means every major family holiday, I get to hear every woman over 40 in my family compare me to the Emily on the screen.

[@sixfeetundertheradar6080]

That’s so accurate 😂

[@erinaa9486]

Aww 😂

[@emmy_platinum]

Anyone when our generic name is said: *LONG, AWKWARD, INTENSE EYE CONTACT*

[@missbraindamage]

This main character deserved all the roasting you gave her.

[@nikkipope121]

HELL YES HALLMARK DRAGGING SEASON My MIL watches these incessantly so this is so cathartic

[@cassandral.5840]

The "Officer Charles Pizza" !!!!!!!!! *SCREAMING* 🤣

[@BunniBeshara]

These Hallmark breakdowns are my favorite 😂 🙌🏻

[@NickDiRamioTV]

I’m so glad!!!

[@shannonceleste5557]

Yes! I'm so ready for all the wacky holiday clip breakdowns in our future 🦃🍁❄⛄🎄🎆🎇

[@therealMrA]

I was gonna comment how Rocky Road was the Everything Pizza of ice cream when I heard the main character call a pizza "Buddha" and I momentarily died of second-hand embarrassment

[@kotacaelum9428]

people rly want to save their damn books if their house is on fire?? girl i love books and bookstores, so much that i would rather live and rebuy all of my books at a local small business

[@ThexDynastxQueen]

I'mma bringa you da Ｏｆｆｉｃｅｒ Ｃｈａｒｌｅｓ Pizza! 🤣

[@EstherAller]

I really appreciate the inclusive tone you set with your channel. Also I love how you pull in real world issues into discussions on bad movies. Also also you are just really funny

[@specialsauce.]

I really appreciate that you take the time to acknowledge actual real world struggles in your videos. It's not always about dunking on some old hallmark movie, but it's educational too.

[@therealMrA]

I bet Emily is only afraid of boats because the Titanic sunk. It makes sense since she's so aggravatingly committed to being displaced in the present. Nothing about her makes sense anyway so it would fit right in that way too.

[@therealMrA]

The weirdest thing about Nutty Movie Night (besides the fact that it's something a grown adult human supposedly talks about to a stranger) is the fact that the protagonist actively chooses to buy jars of peanut butter for that purpose. I'm sorry but I've only ever eaten peanut butter out of a jar when there happened to be peanut butter in the house and absolutely nothing else. It's such a boring snack to choose to eat! I love peanut butter pretzel nuggets because it's peanut butter with a bit of extra saltiness and a helluva lot of crunch. Plain peanut butter has no texture, especially the ever-popular creamy variety. It just serves to further de-age a character who already has the temperament of a spoiled 12-year-old IMO. Btw, I'm not judging anyone who would eat peanut butter out of a jar willingly. This is in critique of a fictional character who never needed this extra weird quirk. Please do whatever makes you happy!

[@angieglover159]

The cardboard pizza has me rolling. You're a effing genius Nick.
