Double Scoop

Wow, this movie aired for the first time yesterday, and there are not any reviews yet. I'm surprised.

"Double Scoop" is a cute movie. It is set in Wisconsin, where I'm from. But it wasn't filmed it Wisconsin. It was filmed in Alabama, which is weird. I wonder why they don't film the movies where the story is set?

The leads did a great job. They were both very sweet and professional. Can't say the same for the dairy farmers and the bed and breakfast owner. Those 3 were just annoying, I'm sorry to say, and "Double Scoop" would have been a much better movie with better supporting actors. Everyone else in the movie was great. And it was great seeing how ice cream is made. I didn't know how ice cream is made. Because of the bad supporting actors, I give this movie 5 stars.

A very typical Hallmark movie. Two advertising executives that used to work for the same large advertising firm, H corporation, are now at different advertising firms.

James is still at H corporation, but Nora left to go to the start up with Alexandra. Now they are both courting the same account, Darlington dairies, a premier ice cream company in Wisconsin.

They both wind up volunteering to work a few days on the farm because an employee is out sick, and then spending a week working up to a big ice cream festival.

I'm guessing the director and the actors have never really been to Wisconsin because none of the accents are correct. Most are southern accents that don't fit into Wisconsin dairy land at all. The other thing that seems weird is that all the cows look emaciated.

Cute part of the movie is the client's granddaughter loves cow puns. And the puns continue through the end of the movie..

6.3 stars.

I was not impressed by this particular Hallmark retelling of an overused story. It is so generic and outdated a theme and I don't have time for this drivel. I've been watching Hallmark movies nonstop for three years and they keep making the same old stuff that is no longer effective since 2018.

I don't understand why they don't follow a romance blueprint that has proven to be successful and entertaining, instead they go back to the same old tropes. It must be fueled by an advertising scheme and I'm not interested in their pitch. First of all, ice cream sells itself, but a good romance movie requires finesse, and this film lacks. The dialogue is boring, the acting is average and this plot has been worn out. Gone is the chemistry, absent is the entertainment, lost is the fun. There is nothing positive to say about 'Double Scoop'.

I wasn't going to write a review but was a little disturbed by the 6 plus rating for what for me was an annoying , low chemistry cliche filled standard Hallmark movie - Taylor Cole and Ryan McPartlin are excellent leads that were given cliche filled silly antagonistic monolog at the beginning of the show that was almost an instant turn off - it didn't get much better - the show was almost devoid of Romance until the very end which felt more contrived than real - I was looking forward to this movie but can't recommend you invest a couple of hours if you have something else to do - like laundry or mowing the grass.

So predictable & clichéd just what you'd expect,with a Hallmark production.

Curious why they didn't actually film in Wisconsin,too expensive or what? At least it wasn't in yet again,Canada pretending to be in the states.

Story synopsis: Two competing companies try to get a new account but while helping the business,who sells ice cream prepare for a festival(shocker)the competitors-well you can guess the rest.

Acting was ok,found the(main)supporting cast annoying,cinematography was decent & music didn't overwhelm the talking.

With that said.. Was also refreshing seeing some not,overly used typically cast actors.

As mentioned due to being predictable could,fall asleep or fast forward & not feel you missed anything relevant.

Worth seeing once,but not something to rewatch.
