Visionworks product placement

The Visionworks product placement where Petra takes her glasses off and the camera follows the glasses down to the glass case with Visionworks on the label was jarring. I was expecting there to be something Important on the desk- but no- just an ad for glasses. The Folgers stuff is bad enough, but at least it doesn't pull you out of the story.

Good call. The Folger's shots are even funny sometimes and almost worthy of their own drinking game.

Especially if you're binge watching Hallmark Christmas movies!

Yup. ☕

You are so right op. This may be the most egregious use of product placement I've ever seen in a film. Your description of how it pulled the viewer out of the scene is spot on, reminded me how I felt when I first saw this movie and that specific scene.
