Hallmark Remarks with Emily and Sophia

Tv EN ↓ 124 episodes

Emily and Sophia review Hallmark movies (and Hallmark-esque movies) and tell you if it's a winner or a loser. They have built the perfect rubric to judge cheesy romance movies and determine if they are worth your time and attention. Along the way, they will share snippits of their unpredictable lives, which are in stark contrast to the movies they review. Emily is Sophia's brother's ex, Sophia is a single mom, Emily is a dancing queen, and both are Christians navigating the weird world of dating.
