Introduction to Butler Training and Main Characters
00:00:01
Speaker
Butlers in Love Follow Emma and Henry as they train to become royal butlers.
00:00:16
Speaker
The competition is fierce and sparks fly.
00:00:26
Speaker
One out of ten stars Just no. Ridiculous premise.
00:00:39
Speaker
Terrible acting.
00:00:45
Speaker
I made it about 30 minutes and had to turn it off.
Critique of Female Lead's Skills and Movie's Premise
00:00:56
Speaker
The female lead has spent ten years aspiring to be a butler and finally gets into butler school and doesn't know how to set a table or iron a tablecloth.
00:01:30
Speaker
Most people who have this goal would go into the school knowing the hows of basic tasks.
00:01:49
Speaker
She spouts lengthy explanations of the history, but can't manage a simple task.
Exaggerations and Legacy Butler Dynamics
00:02:08
Speaker
LEED also makes ridiculous claims like, Butler school is harder to get into than law school.
00:02:29
Speaker
The male lead knows everything and can do everything because he is a legacy butler as he is just one in a long line of butlers in the family.
00:03:02
Speaker
But he really doesn't want to buttle. Too stupid for words.
00:03:18
Speaker
One out of ten stars.
00:03:25
Speaker
run out of ideas, have we? Yet another hyenas Hallmark movie.
Lack of Depth and Misconceptions about Butler Profession
00:03:41
Speaker
They seem to have completely run out of ideas that they think Butler's falling in love is interesting.
00:04:03
Speaker
And is there much of a story beyond pretty girl and handsome guy meeting?
00:04:17
Speaker
meeting
00:04:20
Speaker
One out of ten stars.
00:04:27
Speaker
Where was the romance?
00:04:34
Speaker
It was an interesting concept. However, there was zero chemistry between the two leads.
00:04:51
Speaker
The interaction amongst the cast was dull, and really the characters were annoying.
00:05:10
Speaker
He couldn't tell his dad he didn't want to be a butler.
00:05:24
Speaker
She thought being a butler would offer her an opportunity to see the world and meet important people.
00:05:43
Speaker
Little does she know, when you serve others, your mouth remains shut, and you are viewed as the hired help.
Irritating Ending and Character Contradictions
00:06:06
Speaker
She went through all that schooling and two days in called it a day and quit.
00:06:23
Speaker
It was silly.
00:06:28
Speaker
The ending probably was the most irritating part.
00:06:39
Speaker
This one was a no for me.
00:06:47
Speaker
One out of ten stars.
00:06:55
Speaker
Ridiculous.
00:06:59
Speaker
I hate to be negative, but this movie is so stupid.
00:07:11
Speaker
The premise was strange from the beginning, but I was determined to give it a shot.
00:07:27
Speaker
The main character is such a contradiction.
00:07:37
Speaker
This has been her dream for more than ten years, but she can't iron or cook grilled cheese
00:07:55
Speaker
For all the clumsiness and distraction, why wouldn't she just not stand next to him?
00:08:10
Speaker
I made it thirty minutes exactly.
00:08:18
Speaker
D.N.F. One out of ten stars.
00:08:29
Speaker
Really, Hallmark? This has to be one of the most ridiculous storylines ever.
00:08:41
Speaker
In all my years of living, I've never met a single person who aspired to become a butler.
00:08:59
Speaker
Completely stupid.
00:09:05
Speaker
And she was so excited to be there.
00:09:15
Speaker
Legacy Butlers
00:09:20
Speaker
Eyeroll Seems that for every one good Hallmark movie, there's ten bad ones.
00:09:37
Speaker
The movies are getting more dismal as time goes in.
00:09:47
Speaker
Lately, there's better ones to be found on UP TV, GAC Family,
00:10:04
Speaker
crime IMDb TV and Netflix.
00:10:19
Speaker
Get a clue, Hallmark. Bring up your quality or lose viewers.
Inaccuracies in Butler School Depiction
00:10:34
Speaker
Two out of ten stars. Another dud.
00:10:44
Speaker
A bit of a different setting. A butler school. Not sure why a butler school.
00:10:58
Speaker
unless the school needs an advertising boost.
00:11:07
Speaker
Both stars were very unrefined.
00:11:17
Speaker
I assume that if one wanted to be a servant to the wealthy, one would speak and act better.
00:11:34
Speaker
A yes sir ma'am answer would be preferred instead of yup.
00:11:52
Speaker
And there is no way A butler would bring four plates to a wealthy household at dinner, the same as in a common restaurant.
00:12:17
Speaker
The plates would be brought out in a tray and served singularly.
00:12:29
Speaker
And there would be more than one butler serving at a dinner party.
00:12:40
Speaker
And anyone who works in a restaurant and not a bar would know that the knife blade faces towards the plate.
00:13:01
Speaker
If this were a real scenario, she would have been pra practicing place settings before she arrived.
00:13:19
Speaker
And she would have had both cufflinks in her shirt.
00:13:31
Speaker
Women butlers slash maids wear skirts, not pants.
00:13:43
Speaker
Hallmark should know this.
00:13:50
Speaker
Hallmark should have learned by all the other dud movies. Quality should be before quantity.
00:14:09
Speaker
Two out of ten stars. Hallmark failing.
00:14:20
Speaker
I've been called a Hallmarkophile. But if they keep putting out garbage like this, I may need to move on.
00:14:42
Speaker
How can people who got into an institute... that's harder to get into than law school.
00:14:59
Speaker
wouldn't be so bad at simple tasks and wouldn't be so flippant about things like getting out of bed.
00:15:22
Speaker
And once again, the lead is so unlikable.
00:15:37
Speaker
Hallmark, you're about to lose a regular.
00:15:47
Speaker
Two out of ten stars.
Missed Potential and Negative Reviews
00:15:52
Speaker
at your service.
00:15:57
Speaker
Most of the 2022 New Year New Movies films were quite impressive, despite a rocky start with Where the Heart Belongs.
00:16:23
Speaker
the wedding veil being the best. quite like the premise for butlers in love at first.
00:16:43
Speaker
It was a different location and not one of the ones one has seen many times with Hallmark.
00:17:02
Speaker
And it did sound like it had potential to be quite fun if done well.
00:17:19
Speaker
The negative reviews, though, did dampen expectations.
00:17:31
Speaker
And most of the particularly negatively received Hallmark films seen in the past year or so have been that bad.
00:18:00
Speaker
Unfortunately, Butler's in Love, as much as it pains me to say, it is one of the films that is that bad.
00:18:25
Speaker
There are far worse films out there for sure, but it is very rare for a cool-sounding and different location for Hallmark to be completely wasted.
00:18:53
Speaker
wast it It is one of the worst films. twenty twenty two hallmark films
00:19:10
Speaker
Up to this still early stage, only cut color, murder was on its same level of badness.
00:19:32
Speaker
and replaces where the heart belongs as the worst of the new year new movies batch.
00:19:53
Speaker
That is no easy feat.
Poor Chemistry and Outdated Motivations
00:20:01
Speaker
Butler's in love has some nice photography and scenery.
00:20:15
Speaker
That however, however pretty much it for the good things.
00:20:28
Speaker
Stacey Farber does try hard,
00:20:36
Speaker
but it never looked natural, and it was like she was overcompensating or panicking.
00:20:55
Speaker
Of all the female lead characters, of all of the recently seen Hallmark films,
00:21:11
Speaker
hers is up there as among the most unbearably irritating.
00:21:27
Speaker
It is yet another case of exaggerated flaws and her cluelessness and the number of times she messes up on even simple things is taken to vast extremes
00:22:03
Speaker
to the point of incompetence.
00:22:12
Speaker
Corey Colt is stiff and very vanilla in personality throughout, and his character's backstory is pure idiocy.
00:22:38
Speaker
The two have no chemistry together. Their rapport is constantly forced, and the romance is too hostile and underdeveloped for it to convince.
00:23:10
Speaker
Not even Maxwell Caulfield, here, looking bored and like he didn't want to be there, can save it.
00:23:32
Speaker
And basically, the whole cast either overact or phone in in caricaturish, idiotically written roles.
00:23:56
Speaker
The direction lacks any kind of distinction and is never in control or engagement with the material.
00:24:16
Speaker
The script is incredibly stilted and cheese-ridden.
00:24:28
Speaker
writtenden with the banter being more condescending and contrived than playful.
00:24:46
Speaker
The story manages to be be beyond ridiculous to the point of parody.
00:25:01
Speaker
is really contrived and lacks charm or heart.
00:25:14
Speaker
It also wins the award of a film having the most mistakes made by one character alone in its first third.
00:25:40
Speaker
And it doesn't get better the further the film drags on.
00:25:56
Speaker
absolutely agree with everybody saying that the ending is insulting and makes no sense almost like the rest of the film did not happen
00:26:28
Speaker
The music is forgettable at best and never fits.
00:26:41
Speaker
Concluding, very, very bad. Two out of ten
00:26:56
Speaker
Two out of ten stars.
00:27:03
Speaker
What fresh hell is this?
00:27:11
Speaker
Wow. Just when you think it can't get any worse, it does.
00:27:25
Speaker
An absolute waste of time.
00:27:33
Speaker
The female lead can't act her way out of a wet paper bag.
00:27:49
Speaker
and it's not helped by the fact... that her storyline is so really ridiculous.
00:28:04
Speaker
She wants to be a butler based on some TV show?
00:28:15
Speaker
She works in a restaurant but doesn't know how to correctly place silverware.
00:28:30
Speaker
The Butler Academy is harder to get into Harvard. harvard
00:28:45
Speaker
The male lead is a marginally better actor, but is given another idiotic backstory.
00:29:01
Speaker
How many young people enter a profession they hate because It's a family tradition anymore.
00:29:21
Speaker
Just tell the parents it's not happening and move on. The drama was ridiculous.
00:29:38
Speaker
No chemistry between the leads at all. And at the end, the female gets the job of her dreams.
00:29:58
Speaker
Apparently works one dinner and poof, the dream is over.
00:30:12
Speaker
Instead, has idea. an idea but it's never clear what that was.
00:30:31
Speaker
She becomes what? Some sort of leader of waiters? And her boyfriend becomes a chef at the same restaurant?
00:30:52
Speaker
Oh, how convenient.
00:30:59
Speaker
And the whole smooching in front of the staff was laughable.
00:31:11
Speaker
Two hours of my life, I will never get back.
00:31:23
Speaker
Hopefully, by this point, you've long since drifted off. But if not, won't you come along as I serve you another?
