Midnight at the MagnoliaMovie · 2020
Okay, so we've got best friends, fake dating, and holiday magic all wrapped up in one movie? Sign us up. Maggie and Jack are serving up major 'will they or won't they' energy, and the fake relationship trope *always* delivers. Watching them try to fool everyone while catching real feelings is the kind of low-key drama we live for. Plus, Evan Williams as Jack? Just saying, he's got that charming, 'boy next door' vibe that makes this watch extra sweet.
Longtime best friends Maggie and Jack co-host a popular local radio show and are under pressure to get it syndicated nationally. They decide to fake a romance for publicity, hoping the increased attention will boost their show's profile. Their scheme also involves convincing their families they are a couple during the holiday season. As they navigate their pretend relationship and the festive chaos, real feelings begin to surface, complicating their friendship and career aspirations. It's a cozy holiday rom-com built on the classic fake dating trope.
