Ya know -- at least those "8 standard plot outlines" are usually treated with some slight variations on the story. But with these Hallmark movies, it's basically the same movie with different actors & actresses playing the same roles.
Oh, yeah -- there's another standard plot line that Hallmark likes to use, a plot line which also involves a farm. That one typically features the Intrepid Single Mother who is determined to Save the Family Farm against all of the odds. She's usually threatened both by natural disasters and by Evil Villans who are looking to take the farm away & turn her and her children out to starve. And normally there's a Wandering Handsome Stranger With a Mysterious Past who shows up to become the Love Interest -- and to aid her in the monumental task of Saving the Family Farm, of course.
I can't stand it. I get up and leave the room. After all: there's only so much that a man can take.........
