BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS

It's 1932 and this dude brings this girl out to the woods to give her a horseshoe necklace. She's like I can't take this. We hardly know each other. And it looks expensive. He's like it is. I got big dreams and I want someone by my side to grow an empire with. She asks him to put it on her.

We then see a bunch of clips of the Kentucky Derby from over the years. We meet Sadie who is going to leave her family's greenhouse, the one for Churchill Downs, so that she can become a full time florist - that's her dream. She notices some work being done at Churchill Downs. Apparently a storm came through.

We then meet Ash Taylor. He's the son of the Churchill Downs CEO. His dad calls him and says there's been an emergency and asks him to come home. Ash is like I'm too busy to help you. It's clear that he and his dad don't see eye to eye. Ash even changed his last name so that people wouldn't know that he is a Reed. He doesn't want to take any shortcuts. But when his mom asks him to do it, he can't say no.

He comes across Sadie who is looking at the flowers at Churchill Downs. They chat and bond over not wanting to take over the family business. They end up watching fireworks together and having a great time. But they didn't exchange information...not even names.

Luckily for them, they bump into each other at a bar the next night. They have a great time!

Ash's mom bumps into Sadie and sees some of her work and hires her to put together some bouquets for a fundraising event. When Sadie's boss finds out, she's like well...figure it out.

She's gotta find some roses. Luckily Ash knows where they can find some in the wild. This is when she explains that greenhouse flowers are different than florist flowers and I gotta be honest....thankful for that explanation. This is also when she finds out that he is the son of the Derby folks, the Reeds, and she's not pleased.

We find out that that couple at the beginning of the movie was Ash's great-uncle and Sadie's great-grandma. Apparently they were in love. But his dad wouldn't let him marry her.

The flowers mysteriously end up on Sadie's doorstep and the event is a big success.

She ends up going out with Ash again but they get in an argument - apparently his family thinks that her great-grandmother kept the jewelry. Her family says they gave it back. It's a whole thing.

But no time to wallow. She finds out that the roses for the Derby's blanket of roses are stuck in South America. So she posts a video on social media asking for the community to all bring their roses. And it works! The roses come flying in. Big success!

She also finds a letter that tells her where the necklace is and she brings it to Ash to have him put it on her. And they kiss BIG HONKEN ONES! KISS OF THE YEAR CONTENDER!

It's Derby day! He tells his dad he's willing to come back if he can run the charity that finds homes for old Derby horses.

Her best friend wins the Derby. And then his dad says they are going to source the roses locally moving forward and they want her to do it first. They celebrate with another kiss.

[00:12:27] Hi everybody Welcome back We're talking about Kentucky Roses Yeah we are Hallmark's Kentucky Derby movie Suffers to share our thoughts And we're going to start with a hot take It's where we share exactly how we felt about this movie We do not hold back I'll start with you Bri guy Bri Kentucky Derby Or Kentucky Boring Great Those are the options

[00:12:57] Really good Those are the only options Yeah interesting I'm going to go with Kentucky Derby Okay I'm going Kentucky Derby everybody Great man These two Oh my gosh Oh my god Are you kidding me right now? These two Them together So good I really like them together This movie overall I like this movie My least favorite part of this movie Ironically was the Derby part Like I kind of The family mystery part I didn't mind that at all

[00:13:23] The stuff with the rose blanket And the emergency flower situations That kept coming up I didn't enjoy as much As just those two hanging out At Churchill Downs Out in the field with the flowers Pretty good time I know this is made for moms But it was almost like The moms were working In the background here Yeah this one's not made for moms No it was really like Made for nays I don't know Something That was pretty good

[00:13:53] So I don't know It could have been more mom Focused I guess We could have had mom In the forefront A little bit more In the situations But other than that I mean I had a good time I thought that they were fantastic I think it's made It's no But it's not about the moms It's made for moms Like the Hallmark knows That moms love Andrew Walker Kissing big ones

[00:14:13] There you go What did they say About the derby That they assumed That I would know About the derby That I don't know About the derby I didn't know about this Two weeks Before the derby There's a fire Thunder over Louisville Thunder over Louisville

[00:14:43] I didn't know About Wednesday Which is not It does happen on Wednesday But it's not Wednesday It's Wednesday That took me a while To wrap my head around And then you know A lot of stuff About the flowers That I There was just a lot More flower talk I know it's in the title So really I shouldn't Have been surprised But I was a bit surprised At how much flower talk There was in this movie But at the end of the day Two leads That had Great chemistry

[00:15:11] A bonkers kiss And a horse race So not There's At the end of the day There's only so much That I can be upset about What a kiss What a movie What a time Kentucky Roses Dano I mean you just heard Two takes from guys Wearing Andrew Walker shirts That loved the movie So you might start To question The integrity Of the show Call us And I'm here to tell you That this movie Should be put down The kiss is great The kiss is great Which one?

[00:15:41] The one at night At Churchill Downs And the one in the stands At the end Whatever The one at night At Churchill Downs Great kiss Andrew Walker Bringing his A game As he only knows how to do I think the chemistry With the lead With the other lead Is good sometimes Sometimes I wasn't As high on it as you guys The amount that they think We know about The Kentucky Derby Is way overstated They treat us Way too smart We aren't that smart But also We have a bit of A party planning movie We have a bit of

[00:16:10] A lost trinket movie And we have a lot Of a bad movie here This did not work for me There are a few exceptions One is The all access To Churchill Downs Was very impressive The shots at night At Churchill Downs Beautiful Andrew Walker Always great The kiss Great Aside from that Yeah No I mean There are worse movies And if we're comparing it To last year's Derby movie Hats off to love Well then yeah Thumbs up

[00:16:39] But in the grand pantheon Of Hallmark movies This is not going to stand The test of time This is not a good What would you say Derby or boring Boring Ah man Yes Two out of three though That's two Derbies I mean that's what Dressing Festive can buy you You know what I mean There you go No No Our integrity is not for sale That's right But this movie ruled I know it says It says Crowd favorite Crowd favorite Yeah With Andrew Walker's face on it With a bunch of roses But

[00:17:08] That didn't change Mine's a root beer Mine's different Yours is different You got to choose first too You chose first And that's what you went with You went with the normal shirt You could wear that To a Three Doors Down concert People would be like Cool right on Nice shirt man Yeah Right on in Nobody would question it I made a bad choice I wear this to a Three Doors Down concert People got questions You would not be let in Why are you both going to Three Doors Down I don't know I don't know We got tickets Actually Singer just passed away Yeah just get to our first break

[00:17:37] And then you'll hear about The Three Doors Down commercial Yeah I think the lead singer Passed away Oh my god Recently Within the last few months Yeah I hate that It happened really fast Yeah So we're going as a tribute To answer the question Out of respect Why aren't you Why aren't you going To the Three Doors Down We're just here without you Dude Wow So good Alright Let's get to all the feels We're talking about What in this movie Gave us feels Right guy Yeah There was a scene Where the ladies Are sitting around Drinking wine

[00:18:07] Eating cake And I just was wondering Why don't we do that Why don't we do that Why don't we just sit around And eat some cake Eat some cake And drink whatever Whatever Yeah wine Six packs of beer Six packs of soda Candy bars That's right Yeah I don't have cold That just looks like A really good time And I was literally wondering Why don't we just do that But it seems like You know The one thing I miss About having no responsibilities Oh man Is just sitting around Just Drinking beer Anytime Not yeah Yeah What time of day It doesn't matter There's not enough Not enough cake

[00:18:37] Yeah Do you think we go too hard On our birthday on cake And not hard enough The rest of the year Yeah Like should we be less excited About cake on the birthday And just make it a normal thing Like once a week Just like Always have a cake Just always have a cake Always be caking Crazy brownies this weekend Where I jammed Oreos And Reese cups All in the middle of it And then like Pour peanut butter on them They're fantastic Really good I mean you couldn't have eaten I couldn't I would have died It was basically Like a giant cake You know what I mean That sounds fun Is that it Oh Look at that

[00:19:06] The last one was just Andrew's horse He got a really cool horse That brown and white horse Pretty cool horse Yeah That was a good horse I got a kick out of When she Realizes that she has to Find some roses For the party That she signed up for She goes and she asks No less Than Five extras If they have roses If they have roses And they all In their nice Extra way Said no Without saying no Including one person Who just went Talk to the hand

[00:19:35] The background actors Moving heaven and earth In this movie Is fantastic How about the hand And just said Why are you even Asking me I love those extras They did great work And it made me happy Dana I've never once Had any desire To attend the Kentucky Derby Not once And I grew up I went to the Masters a lot The golf tournament Is pretty local to us And that's a big deal People who have Bucket list items I've never been like Man I got I gotta be honest Seeing some of the Scenery

[00:20:04] At Churchill Downs Made me kind of go It'd be cool to go To the race one year Just to do it And I never thought That I would feel that way So there you go You need to get another Hole punch in your Racist gift card Like you just I get the Masters I gotta conduct The Derby That's right Daytona 500 Exactly right You get it It's fun It's another hole All right Let's take a break We'll come back We'll get to the Wait what And the what The Hallmark Here on Take the Hallmark

[00:20:37] So maybe when I'm Fully healthy Like I'm overthinking The buttons Yeah maybe that's it Because it hasn't You're doing fine Maybe you touched it And you healed it Magic fingers All right You should touch Brian's forehead Yeah Touch my head Let's get to the Wait Healed A little better Anybody else Anybody else Good Let's get to the Wait what And the what The Hallmark We're gonna start With the wait what Of course We're gonna start With you Braguy Bray

[00:21:08] Bray What Going Irish Bray Bray You got to I think that's What's your weight No which one Could be anybody So I can see How some people Might have had a problem With not understanding The difference between Greenhousing and Floristing And so they did take A little bit of time To get to it To really just leave The people hanging About 40 minutes Yeah For us to sit here And go They're flowers So yeah So to understand That difference Early I could see That might have Helped some people Who were watching

[00:21:37] Yeah not us No I'm just thinking Of other people Out there That was the Cleanest group Of construction workers I've ever seen On a job site In history It's unbelievable And it was funny Because they got That really wrong They were so clean And everything they wore Was just Maybe that's what It's like at Churchill Downs Like maybe they do Have like clean Uniforms every day Their vests are Not touched By any filth But then on the Other hand The crew Leader I think he worked For the Churchill Downs

[00:22:07] He was Very mean to Andrew Which felt Authentic On a construction Site Like a new guy Coming in New general Contractor Like you're gonna Get a little pushback And so that actually Worked But they Their hats Were just Shiny And so clean It was just I mean so Churchill Downs A big hat place I don't know If you know It's true It's very important The construction Hats are included That storm Ripped the Shingles and Plywood right off But left All the other Structure perfectly Intact Just pretty Straightforward Repair It looked like Actually Just

[00:22:36] Pretty much Definitely Yeah 100% Didn't look Too bad The The last thing I'll stop here on Was Well actually There were two Things There was The bid For the mayor's Office I was super Confused about And this is Sort of what The hallmark But really I just feel like They could have They should have Explained this better Like was the Mayor from Louisville That he was Trying to get a Bid for Or was Because he was Working in Cincinnati Correct Is he He had been Based In Cincinnati No I think he's In Louisville But he had been

[00:23:06] Seeing and hearing About how great Ash was doing So that's I just But Ash being Working and talking About Cincinnati So much But then having A bid in With the mayor In Louisville Was a little Confusing to me Yeah So I don't know It was It could have Used a little More explanation And just the Last thing Is just the I get that like Red roses are Tradition but At some point Maybe somebody Should just Think about Another color Of rose Or another flower Like you're Gonna You're gonna Run One This time They got lucky It's like you're not

[00:23:36] From the south They've been doing it The same way for 150 years This is a big difference I think Between the north and the south What are you talking about Where it's just I'm looking at it I'm like You're gonna run out of roses This is gonna happen again Don't be so stupid This is gonna happen again In some form Like maybe do something Different No okay Stupid me Yeah Stupid me Do something a different way Stick to red roses forever Yeah Stupid northerner Yeah God I mean my big Wait what is How did the CEO

[00:24:06] Of The Kentucky Derby Of the Downs What is it again Churchill Downs Yes What did he feel While watching this movie Like I imagine If I'm the CEO I know It's a fictional character But I'm turning Around to everybody All my loved ones And being like Is this Do you guys view me like this This CEO Takes it on the chin I don't think he watched At one point Yeah His own wife Says

[00:24:35] He's the worst When talking about Her husband Correct That's a tough break Tough one His own son Chooses not to go By his last name Cause he doesn't even Want to be associated With him

[00:25:20] Truly He's the worst He's the worst Brutal He's the worst And that's just That's a tough That's a tough break I just want to check On that guy Be like hey Are you okay And Is this you Because if so Let's Let's work on yourself Let's Let's go to work here It's never too late To better yourself That's right And I believe That you can do it That's all I got Dano Yeah The fact that Churchill Downs Is outsourcing

[00:25:50] Their roses To a foreign country Is hysterical Like The fact that The big thing The CEO Learned at the end Of this movie Is The The roses Are going to be Locally sourced Is Great Like I looked it up Cause I was like Am I crazy No no no Like they use Local florists For all this It's a big part Of the Kentucky Derby As do we Of course As you can see Yeah yeah And no greenhouse B Just floors

[00:26:18] I just didn't Understand How Churchill Downs Was cool With this Portrayal Yeah Like the fact That this CEO It dawns on him In 2026 We don't have to go To South America For the roses Because The rose is Pretty known Here in Kentucky Is a crazy thing Not as crazy As The owners Of Churchill Downs Having a charity Event The week Of the Kentucky Derby And two days Beforehand Needing flowers I know that their Person backed out It just wouldn't

[00:26:48] Happen There's no world Where the wealthiest People in Kentucky Need flowers Two days out We get a weird Party planning movie Because of this And I hated it You know And I know Now I didn't know then But I know now That greenhouse flowers And florist flowers Are different We all do I learned something From this movie You're a big man To admit it Congratulations No no I learned it I didn't know it I learned it It is still crazy to me That our protagonist Her big hill to stand on

[00:27:17] Is I'm not into running A greenhouse at all I want to do something Very Revelatory for the family business I'm into flowers That is a Still A crazy plot line Even though those Are different things It's still crazy Like You work For the Churchill Downs Has a massive greenhouse You could easily Become a florist Even though they're different And still carry on

[00:27:47] That family legacy I think easily Is the wrong word there But yeah I get what you're saying Sorry Excuse me They're different flowers They're different Flowers Just different We find out That on the grounds Of the Taylor estate There's no cell reception Not only the ground But the air too If you believe Dude I just gotta be honest When I heard that In Louisville, Kentucky

[00:28:16] There was no cell reception Because they're on The wealthiest person's land And for some reason There's just no You don't get any bars out there There's no bars Hilarious Guys You are not on the frontier Like you are in a Very much thriving metropolis I don't know if you've seen Billy Bob Thornton Walking around all these farms Lately on for T-Mobile Like There's cell signal Somebody who has AT&T I can believe Listen

[00:28:45] You can't do this There is cell signal Like it'd be one thing If there was no cell signal Anywhere out there Then I could maybe believe it They were on the property And they get close to the house And it's like Oh my techs are coming through What do you think is happening That's how big the estate is Yeah I guess man I guess Also it's the Reed estate Not the Taylor estate My bad It's okay It's on me It's on me And it's a mistake I mean once again It's like thinking greenhouse And yeah Floor But never stop learning And lastly My

[00:29:13] The biggest florist In the area Who is renowned For being amazing Is like I am anti-social media Only word of mouth No social media I won't do it I'd believe it If you got no cell reception In her shop But Out on the farm No So like the masters Which I keep comparing this to Because it's a very good comp Like You can't have your phone In the facility Like you have You can't bring it in They'll take it for you And they'll ban you for life You can't have it Right Okay

[00:29:43] I understand that The masters still has a social media presence Like they don't do a lot on there But they still have one They have a social media Like Everyone has a social media presence Like it's crazy to think That you're above that Everyone has a social media presence When her reasoning was weird Because she says I want to get the right clientele Right Which is like Fancy businesses Basically But like Those people also They have social media Exactly Yeah It's just I don't know It's an interesting choice This guy's the worst This guy's the My husband The worst

[00:30:12] He's the worst The worst He's the worst Yeah It's time for what the hallmark Is where we wonder What could have been Maybe having Gives a clarity question We still have What are we still wondering about Right guy Yeah it was My big question Walking away from this Was why Don't they use local vendors For flowers It's crazy You looked it up And clarified Actually they do They 100% do It was just A weird thing In the movie To say That that is not What we do Because it feels like Something you would Definitely want to spotlight As part of the

[00:30:42] Kentucky Derby story But to just be like We're not ever doing that But maybe we should It was just a weird Part of the story Like I don't know It threw me off And I believed it Until we looked it up here And you realize That's not true at all And it's actually In reality It's way better It's a way better way to do it Yes But it was just such a weird twist In the movie That I just was like Maybe at some point This is I don't know I just I mean it would seem like The further we go back The more likely it is It wasn't outsourced That's the thing Right

[00:31:12] But I just like You guys are just more lenient On the fact that The rest of this was Worthy Like Swoonworthy Like you just Like for me Like the party planning Of it all The outsourcing of the flowers Like all this stuff Just added up To where I just couldn't Really enjoy the movie He's a crowd favorite baby He is Crowd favorite Yeah Read the shirt He's got a picture Like Indiana Jones Yeah No one can see it But It's fine Who's up Whatever we call these Who's up Who's up Who's up Who's up would be a horse That's a dead horse Who's on first
