Movie #2144 ........................."Hanukkah on Rye" (Hallmark)

Movie #2144 "Hanukkah on Rye" (Hallmark )  this was an adorable film and ends up to be one of the best this year --- once again, kind of a goofy title, but worth the watch --- has fun characters, a plot similar to "You've Got Mail" and "Shop Around the Corner" with a guy and a girl, whose bubbehs (jewish grandmothers) sign them up for possible marriage partner, and they can only write to each other anonymously (no using computer, etc.)  They balk at the idea, but for their grandmas' sake, they go along with the idea --- the only complaint is that when it came to the final conflict, it seemed manufactured  (there was a strong one earlier that worked well enough so the film could have finished earlier.... but that's the only complaint.  4.5 out of 5.

"HANUKKAH ON RYE"     (Hallmark)   2022    1 hour and 25 mins
