Under the Christmas Sky

 Hallmark Holiday Movie Checklist:

• Single dad with a precocious child and a heart of gold
• Under the mistletoe make-out scene
• A flirty Christmas Tree Decorating Scene

We're all for Christmas but how many damn trees does one room need?

Synopsis:

Kat is, apparently, an esteemed astrophysicist who was supposed to go on an unknown mission to space but a car accident gives her black dotted vision and so she decides to move home and volunteer at the local planetarium, where she has to come up with a Christmas exhibit for the Planetarium (after watching the movie, we still don't know what that is either) with David, a stuffy single father. Also there is a side plot with her unemployed brother (Andy) who may or not harbor dreams of being an event planner or a graphic designer and lives with his parents and falls for a gift shop employee while they are planning an event for kids. 

Favorite Line:

"Science Stuff."- an astrophysicist referring to her work.  

Random Thoughts We Had During this Movie: 

Who impresses women by talking incessantly about their sister? Andy is never going to get laid. 

Does Hallmark think you can be an astronaut by just reading books about it? 

Is the Christmas spirit miraculously going to restore her sight?

"We are looking for an elementary exhibit on the sun." Clearly David's boss thinks he is doing a crap job. Also, if they are hiring an esteemed astrophysicist, shouldn't a planetarium shoot a little higher than an elementary exhibit?

How are you planning your Holiday exhibit only two weeks before the exhibit opens? This makes zero sense. 

David's sarcastic "That's what you want to put in the exhibit?" is all of us right now. 

 Even Santa Sun is rolling his eyes at how ridiculous his existence is.

They are planning to hang a ton of Christmas lights and aggressively pre-lit wreaths all over the planetarium. Granted, I'm not an astrophysicist and I don't work at a space center but don't they need the planetarium to be in total darkness for, like, a show about the stars to be visually effective?

Where is the evidence that Kat is actually a decent astrophysicist and astronaut? So far all she has done is design a creepy one demential graphic, decorate a planetarium and flirt with a single father. I'm adding those skills to my resume. Maybe NASA will finally accept my application and I'll be qualified to be jettisoned into space.  

She is making ornaments for a tree that is already fully decorated. Maybe that's why they can't handle planning an exhibit months in advance. Instead, they focus on remedial and redundant tasks that don't actually bring them in any business. 

Wait, the sun has ties to Christmas? This exhibit is bonkers. 

Instead of a flirty ice skating scene, they went with a flirty curling scene? Huh. That's a choice. Sure. I'm on board.

Soooo, a planetarium is the center of Christmas Cheer. I wish I had known this as a child. I feel like I was robbed.

Kat is being offered a new job by this dude from the Monarch Space Center because of her Santa Sun? That Santa Sun is going to come alive and kill us all. It has dead eyes. And is everywhere. EVERYWHERE. 

Conclusion: All you need to do to be offered the job of a lifetime and fall in love with your soulmate is create a third rate, creepy one dimensional graphic.
