Remember Kathie Lee Gifford's movie, Then Came You? It felt like everyone was buzzing about it… for like, a week.
Then poof! Gone. Vanished. Like my New Year's resolutions every January 2nd.
What actually *happened* to it?
The Big Premiere... and Then?
Okay, so Then Came You came out. Kathie Lee Gifford wrote it! That's a pretty big deal. She even starred in it!
It had some familiar faces like Craig Ferguson. People I hadn't seen in a while! I was excited! Then, nothing.
Was it secretly abducted by aliens? Did it fall into a black hole of streaming oblivion?
My (Possibly Unpopular) Opinion
Here's the thing. I have a theory. And brace yourselves, some might find it controversial. It might be too niche.
Maybe... just maybe... it wasn't amazing. I know, I know! Gasp! Clutch your pearls!
Don't get me wrong, Kathie Lee is a treasure. But even treasures can have slightly tarnished moments.
Where Did It Go?
Finding where you can watch Then Came You is like searching for a matching sock in the dryer. Good luck with that!
It had a limited theatrical release, as many indie films do. Then it popped up on some streaming platforms. Then it disappeared.
Is it on demand somewhere? Probably. Is it easy to find? Nope!
The 'Hallmark Movie' Factor
Let's be honest. It felt a *little* like a Hallmark movie. But maybe without the same marketing push.
Which is fine! I love a good Hallmark movie. But they have a *formula*. And a *machine*.
Maybe Then Came You was trying to be something *more*. But maybe got lost in the shuffle. I understand.
The Legacy of Kathie Lee's Film
Regardless of its box office numbers or streaming availability, Then Came You is still a testament to Kathie Lee Gifford's creativity.
She wrote a movie! She starred in it! That's impressive. I can barely write a grocery list without forgetting something.
And hey, maybe it'll have a resurgence someday! Stranger things have happened. Remember the "Macarena"?
Was It Ahead of Its Time?
Perhaps Then Came You was simply ahead of its time. Maybe in 20 years, people will suddenly "get it."
Like that obscure band you discovered in college that's now considered iconic. I still believe in them!
Or maybe it's just a movie that had its moment. Either way, I'm still a Kathie Lee fan. Always.
So, what really happened to Then Came You? The mystery remains. Maybe it's best that way.
It's like a cinematic Bigfoot. Rumored to exist. Spotted occasionally. But never fully understood.
But hey, at least we got a movie written by Kathie Lee. That's cool! And it gives us something to ponder over our morning coffee.
