Right. With my first, my ex nearly shredded my forearm with her nails telling me it was time to go.

Brought mine to a game at 7.5 months… very realistic

Well, one thing to show you this is fantasy, You'll never get a free drink at the Bar Bill. No matter how cute you are.  Old owners, yes, the greedy people who own it now? No way.

We actually went late at night on a random Wednesday and the manager gave us a friends and family discount for no reason and our drinks were free

You can tell they actually researched how it really is in the area and with fans.  

I never watched a Hallmark movie before tonight!  It was OK.  Loved all the Bills references.

My wife leaves me alone during games, and I leave her alone during Hallmark movies.  We watched this together and honestly, it was great.  I thought they got a lot right.  
 

Apparently they’re showing the KC one right now.  I told the wife she’s on her own for that one.

Our softball teams used to go to the Bar Bill after games in the 80's and 90's,.  It was just a little 'dive" back then.  Free pitchers of beer and wings.  How it has changed!!!

- Pretty sure in opening scene there was a Buffalo Joe jersey with wrong number 33

- Never knew peanut fingers are a classic Buffalo food?  

- Funny how every scene it was like a requirement to have at least 2 people with Bills gear on 

- Chestnut Ridge!

- Cant believe they were able to get Dewayne Carter! 😛

- The Uncte apparently didn't know where his best friend and love of his life lived? When he got back he went to her factory instead of her house?  Then just gave up when the factory was closed  lol

   - One side note was there was a remarkable resemblance between the Uncle and my deceased father-in-law.  My wife commented multiple times, think it added an emotional element for her

- Drink every time you hear 'Highmark'

- Overall a pleasant watch.   I'm mostly happy for those kids. They really were in love, just didn't realize it despite everyone else seeing it and it being right in front them all along

Only two? Was at the Walden Galleria today, place was bustling. It seemed a third there had something Bills on. 
 

By the way, the Mall is as alive as it was going back at least a decade ago. I wrongly said a year ago the place was going down. There’s very few empty stores. Lots of variety, new businesses of all kind, a Kid zone that was huge with things kids would love, like a ceiling zip line. The food court was full, lots of food options. Great sales too. Had tried control myself, though I bought a $20 Dubai chocolate bar from their shop. 

It would have made a great Xmas mall scene for the movie.

Update: My girlfriend was working tonight but has informed me she is going to force me to watch it.

Still is dead a lot of time of the year 

 

Holiday season kicking up and it's a Saturday 

 

You can go there on a Monday or a Tuesday and it's pretty dead 

 

But it still is the largest mall in the area so there's that! I picked up a pizza from sbarros they're the other day when I had to do some shopping they had a 9.99 pizza deal which for an entire Pizza is actually not a bad deal 

 

Cooked to order too.. surprisingly well

Most Hallmark movies have script holes big enough to drive a truck through, but they almost lost me right at the beginning when the girl went on a date during the Bills-Dolphins game. 
 

I’m not sure I can even imagine how hot a girl would have to be before I’d agree to a date during a Bills game if I didn’t already know she was a diehard fan. 

 

Edit:  I guess she just assumed that the guy would want to watch the game, especially since they were at Bar-Bill.  But she should have been the one kicking him to the curb when she realized her mistake, not the other way around.

Yeah, it’s a narrow window of opportunity for reliving an old time Xmas tradition, but like what a Hallmark movie aims to do, felt all warm and fuzzy like a kid around Xmas. Crowded parking lots. Lines at registers, cashiers pleasant. People with bags full, happy smiling families. Salvation Army folks ringing bells. Wasn’t planning on going there, so glad we did and going back next week.

Thats awesome 

 

I know a lot of old timers who still walk 2-3 miles a day there on the upstairs loop lol

 

Warm and a good atmosphere to walk

I mean,the visuals are fine, but the storyline and acting? Awful 

Nailed it. 

Two minutes in, my wife turned to me and said "this is a really long commercial".  Was stunned when I told her, "no, this IS the movie".

The budget was probably 10 buckets of chicken wings and a couples sheet pizzas

IMDB says the budget for this cinematic experience was $3,000,000.

I told my wife we have to watch it, even if for no other reason than showing her a little about Buffalo.  We only married (remarried as both on our second)  and she has yet to travel to Buffalo.  She was excited to see it tonight.  She loved Hard Knocks, and this a woman raised in China whos first NFL game watched was with me when dating.

 

So I’m a yes.

Be good to her.  Sounds like you outkicked your coverage.

[LewPort71]

Peanut fingers at DiCamillo's are their number one donut IMHO.

Overall the movie was fine.  Producers did their homework about Buffalo and the Bills.

(Other than the #33 jersey)

I did my friend.  Not to get sappy, but we just took a walk at sunrise.  I try and compromise with her as we drove to a park on the north end of the Tampa Bay.  Now I’m free and clear to go to the gym, then church, and watch football today.  My other compromise is I promised to make her dinner.  She’s really trying to understand why Buffalo is so special to me.

 

Anyway, everyone enjoy the day with family with the games.  I’m looking forward to the Bucs/Rams.  Dallas/Philly might be good as well.

I mean, she was pretty hot … she’d be a nice halftime diversion 🤪

Wow.  Seems it’s very 50/50 the responses.  
 

It’s something at some point I will watch.  I have watched Lifetime movies as well if something caught my eye like Tiffani Thiessen in the 90s 

She was a hottie.  I just saw her in a commercial recently.  She’s still attractive.  BTW- there’s nothing wrong with watching a sappy love story every once in awhile.  Heck my wife Puts up with me watching stuff like the Terminal List, and Dark Wolf (that was the new one), Reacher, SWAT, etc..
 

She never complains.  So if every once in awhile I’m tasked with The Bills  A Love Story, or any other love story, except  The Wind Beneath My Wings, or The Notebook.

 

[die hard bills fan]

Overall was ok. Bills content in every scene. Will probably watch again next year at Christmas time.

[SC STATE NUPE]

Me and my wife watched it. That movie confirmed McD ain’t going nowhere no time soon! That would be an extremely bad look to get rid of him after putting him in a Christmas movie about the love of our squad!🤣🤣🤣
