Seasonal Romance Movies – Scoring
OK, I’ve been thinking a lot about how to score the movies and I think these are the main points that will be involved:
Likeable heroine – 1
Likeable hero – 1
Destiny – 1
Situation to bring them together – 1-5 (5 being most ridiculous)
Character Growth – 1
Happy Ending – 1
Conflict of Interests – 1
Moment of misunderstanding – 1-5 (5 being most ridiculous) (points for each moment)
Declaration of never falling in love – 1
Dead/missing family members – 1 per person
Dead family members causing difficulty between protagonists – 1 per person per instance
Sassy offspring – 1 per child
Old-Timey traditions and values – 1 per each
I’ve used ‘hero’ and ‘heroine’ because for the most part these sorts of movies follow a sadly cishet dynamic. If people wanna to point me in the direction of more diverse seasonal romance movies please do; I would love to find them! Having just watched Pumpkin Pie Wars – a movie I quite enjoyed but scored low on the drama, I think I might have to change the scoring system somewhat but now I have one in place.
DISCLAIMER – not all movies which score highly will be better – they will just be more cheesy, I will comment if I think they’re worth watching 😀
Love,
Salixa
