Our Thoughts on “Signed, Sealed, Delivered: A Tale of Three Letters”
Welcome back to another installment of Girls Gone Hallmark! This time, we covered the final installment of Science Seal Delivered Summer for 2024, diving into “Signed, Sealed, Delivered: A Tale of Three Letters”.
Here’s a synopsis of the ideas and insights we discussed on our podcast. If you haven’t tuned in yet, we’d love for you to join us and become a part of the conversation!
What We Liked
- Norman’s Character Development: We absolutely adored seeing Norman step up as the marital mentor to Oliver. His growth throughout the series has been remarkable, and his easy and sincere advice made those scenes shine.
- Normalization of Therapy: Both of us appreciated how the movie normalized therapy for healthy relationships. The depiction of Shane, Oliver, Rita, and Norman going through therapy sessions made it clear that seeking help is a healthy and necessary step for any relationship.
- Sweet, Small Moments: Several little moments made us smile—from Norman’s adorable comment about the sonogram picture to Shane and Oliver’s flirty interaction post-honeymoon. These touches gave the film warmth and humor.
What We Wished For
- Character Consistency: There were a few moments that felt out of character, especially Oliver’s unempathetic interaction with Charlie. It seemed like an entirely different writer had come in and misaligned the characters with their well-established personalities.
- Less Focus on Charlie: While we think Rhiannon Fish is fantastic, we didn’t love Charlie becoming so central to the DLO gang. It felt a bit too late to shoehorn her into the core group, and her storyline didn’t captivate us as much as the original postables’ did.
- Stealing the Spotlight: We questioned the necessity of introducing Shane and Oliver’s baby storyline, feeling like it stole some of the shine away from Rita and Norman’s adoption journey. Does every couple need a baby to be complete?
Did You See That?
- Mixed Signal on the Mailbox Explosion: We were confused about the great mailbox explosion incident. Did it actually blow up? The storyline felt fuzzy and somewhat hard to follow.
- High School Hallucinations: Props to the makeup team for making Rhiannon Fish seem like a 17-year-old, although her high school “peers” looked questionably mature.
- Time Check: A nice touch was the clock chiming nine after Shane tells Oliver she’s pregnant. While Wendy thought it was a reach, Megan appreciated the symbolism of the nine-month pregnancy timeline.
- DLO Redesign: Was it just us, or did the Dead Letter Office look different once again? We couldn’t help but notice the recurring set redesigns without much in-story explanation.
Our Rating
After much discussion, we landed on a 3.75 out of 5 stars rating. It’s a solid score, reflecting our mixed feelings about this installment and acknowledging both its strengths and shortcomings.
