🚐 An activities director with a tumbleweed soul. A woman who needs to finally take the leap. A vintage van, a grandma on a mission, and the song that makes everyone think of The Notebook. This one had us from the first five minutes.
This week Eric and Andrea are reviewing I’ll Be Seeing You, Hallmark’s road trip romance starring Tyler Hynes, Stacey Farber, and Christine Ebersole. When a work errand derails Amy’s plans for a quiet weekend with her grandma, the two women end up on an unplanned road trip with one sentimental detour — and they just happen to need the help of a charming, free-spirited activities director along the way.
Eric gives it five stars and calls it Tyler’s best movie since Unexpected Christmas. Andrea lands just behind — this one is genuinely good, and we both say so.
We break down the activities director kart race that had us immediately sold, the “discount Jack Reacher” line that earned a genuine laugh out loud, the 70s van that stole every scene it was in, and the brilliant writing in the “why are we both still single” scene that we can’t stop thinking about. We talk about why Stacey Farber was absolutely toe-to-toe with Tyler — and proved she can bring the heat in ways her other Hallmark films hadn’t shown. We get into the pacing in the final third (great acting forgives a lot), the road trip scenery that gave this movie a visual variety most Hallmark films can’t afford, and the one billing call we think deserved to go differently — BJ Harrison was fantastic and she should have been credited equally with Christine Ebersole. We’re saying it.
Plus — Eric spent a summer in Miami driving an orange VW van with no air conditioning and has very specific feelings about the bus. (It is not blue, Andrea.) Andrea has a foray crush who moved to China and has made peace with how that story ends. Probably.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Andrea: Five Stars | ⭐⭐⭐⭐½ Eric: Very Good
