Movie #3177 "Checkin' it Twice" (Hallmark) From the Get go, I felt I had seen this before, but I think I had just seen the ending. Not much here, unless you like to watch some hockey, or hear discussions about it --- because the girl's whole family, including her, know stats about players, etc. and the guy's life is all hockey, and he's working for that big (Bull Durham) break to get up to the "Show" --- big times. You can probably guess what happens when he's offered still another step up the ladder towards the end of this film --- he isn't getting any younger, so decisions need to be made on what he will do. I got used to the two of them acting together, so that seemed to work, but the story was ho hum -- and in this one, in 2023, there was a snowball fight! but I hadn't seen one up until now, so that's saying a lot for Hallmark trying to shake things up more --- this one doesn't. I'd give it a 3 out of 5.
