Baby, It's Cold Inside

Interesting location. I've never considered visiting an Ice Hotel, but this place looks magical. Having said that, the hotel and Steve Lund are the ONLY things this stinker have going for it. Lead actress has zero personality, and should consider going back to acting school. Don't waste your time.

I've seen this location before in the other Ice Castle Hallmark movie. Since it's a Canadian location, it makes sense.

The story was unusually boring, although the scenes were okay. The lead was overly clumsy, which was a little unnerving. Too klutzy.

And no kissing between the secondary couple when she accepted his marriage proposal! Just bizarre! The loud conversation about a secondary character took place with that person sitting 2 feet away. Just weird.

The leads were not passionate. The ending was boring and fell absolutely flat. It was a travel video, basically, all over the place. The best things were the scenery, including the enchanted lit forest, and the lessons on glassmaking, cooking, and ice sculpture...

The lessons of ice sculpture, cooking or glassmaking are the main virtues of this Hallmark film . Like the rooms of hotel and the hospitality of Petersons , the nature and the blunders of Hannah Fischer.

But the option for the hotel from Finland remains very ...subjective and bizarre, the chemistry between lead characters is pure fiction ,Randy Thomas saves a lot but you expect another mistake from Hannah so, more the tension works in decent manner.

The conclusion- the hotel and the lessons are more the basic motif to see this film, a beautiful one, off course, but only for them because. Jocelyn Hudon and. Steve Lund are reduced at a sort of sketches of goofing around young lady and the handsome manager.

So, good looking people - Melinda Michael and. Kathryn Kohut as the good examples, a splendid ice hotel and a pretty ice schel with improvised pearl are the pieces who, after the final credits, sustain the good impression about this film. Is it enough ? Maybe...

This is a predictable story with very little tension. There isn't a lot of plot but the writers and director do the one thing I frequently complain some movies don't do enough- they throw the leads together almost every possible chance.

Jocelyn Hudon is a young lead where many of the Hallmark leading ladies are nearing or past 40. There's nothing wrong with that except it limits the studio when trying to make stories about younger couples. Hudon has been doing work for Hallmark for several years now, although not as much as I would like to see lately, although perhaps Covid has something to do with that. Hudon is just right for this role and she has great chemistry with Steve Lund. Hudon does a good job dealing with the back-and-forth in her confidence and that is one thing the script does well.

I said predictable, and it is for broad strokes, but I was a little surprised at how one character acted toward the end.

Lovely location. Sweet story. Well cast. Yes it is predictable but warm and cozy and comfortable.
