Not sure what others watched, but this wasn't "absolutely hysterical" with "solid comedy writing" with "fantastic performances" on any level.
This was hyped as an 'Airplane-style' spoof of Hallmark movies, but it wasn't. The 1980 movie 'Airplane' worked because it featured actors known for their work in serious dramas, and had them playing it straight, as they parodied the 'Airport' movies of the 1970's.
This 'clusterfunke' didn't do that. They played almost every scene for laughs, and mugged mercilessly doing so. It was clearly more of a vehicle for Gastmeyer and Dratch, instead of a true parody or satire.
Yes, there were a few big laughs, but that means maybe three or four. Overall, a huge, missed opportunity.
