How To Watch The Valet Is The Samara Weaving Rom-com
Okay, hear me out. This might be controversial. Maybe even a little…out there. But I need to say it.
The Valet? That Samara Weaving rom-com on Hulu? It's secretly a holiday movie.
But Wait! Before You Throw Your Eggnog...
I know, I know. There's no snow. No reindeer. No forced cheeriness oozing from every pore. But trust me. It’s all about perspective, people!
Must Read
Exhibit A: The Warm Fuzzies
Think about what makes a holiday movie great. It's the feeling, right? That warm, fuzzy, maybe-I'll-believe-in-magic-again feeling. The Valet delivers!
Samara Weaving plays Olivia, a famous actress. Max Greenfield is Vincent, the totally average valet. A paparazzi photo throws their lives into hilarious chaos.
They pretend to be a couple. The fake dating trope! Come on, that's practically mistletoe-adjacent.
Exhibit B: The Importance of Family (and chosen family)
Holidays are ALL about family. You're stuck with them. You love them. Sometimes, you want to hide in the bathroom. Am I right?
The Valet is brimming with family dynamics. Vincent's close-knit community and Olivia’s somewhat dysfunctional family add layers. Layers like a delicious holiday casserole!
Watching them navigate these relationships? Peak holiday feels. The kind where you call your mom after and say, "I love you," even if she just sent you a passive-aggressive text about your life choices.
Exhibit C: The Unexpected Connection
Rom-coms often feature characters from different worlds. Holidays practically demand unlikely connections!
Remember that time you had the most amazing conversation with your second cousin's weird friend at Thanksgiving? Exactly. The Valet is just like that.
Olivia and Vincent are polar opposites. Yet, they find common ground. They learn from each other. That's the spirit of the season, people!
Exhibit D: The Escape From Reality
Let's be real. The holidays can be stressful. Family drama, gift shopping, the existential dread of another year gone by… we need an escape!
The Valet is the perfect escape. It’s light, funny, and predictable in the best possible way. Just like your aunt's fruitcake. (Okay, maybe not the "best possible way" part for the fruitcake.)
You can turn off your brain. Laugh a little. Maybe even shed a tear or two during the heartfelt moments. Pure holiday bliss!
The Verdict? (My Totally Unofficial, Probably Wrong Verdict)
Maybe I'm stretching it. Maybe I'm just desperate for the holiday season to start already. But I stand by my statement.
The Valet, starring the amazing Samara Weaving, is a holiday movie in disguise. Watch it with a mug of hot cocoa and tell me I'm wrong. (But I won’t believe you.)
So next time you're scrolling through Hulu, looking for a dose of holiday cheer, remember The Valet. You might just find yourself surprised. Happy watching!
