Un muñeco de nieve para derretirse

A subtle satire of the Hallmark Christmas movies that is in on the joke, but walks the line so finely that it ironically is a solid version of the feel-good, festive films it is satirizing. While the tongue in cheek aspect might be confusing or even off-putting to the target audience, its unique tone helps distinguish it from the heaps of Christmas movies on streaming services.

Dustin Milligan plays a decent himbo made of snow, while Lacey Chabert delivers one of her signature flat performances in straight-to-streaming Christmas films. It's ultimately the comedic performances of Craig Robinson, Joe Lo Truglio and Katy Mixon Greer that elevate the film.

Stars dustin milligan (schitts creek, extract) and lacey chabert (mean girls). When a snowman comes to life, he accidentally commits a crime. And now the sheriff is looking for him. But no-one can describe his face. Just his... body parts. It's good! Pretty simple story. Some subtle snowman jokes, like when kathy eats the head off of the snowman christmas cookies. Almost dirty, all the ladies in town want him. And don't seem to care that he's just a snowman. It's silly and fun. Keep an eye out for doctor dottie... she was the sister on mike and molly! And the deputy is from reno 911. Directed by jerry ciccoritti. Interesting connection.... he directed fourteen episodes of schitts creek.. which co-starred... dustin milligan! Story by russell hainline; he seems to write a whole lot of christmas-y stuff. Plain, simple, story, but it's entertaining enough.

This is no 'It's a Wonderful Life', and I don't expect a high rating from many, but I actually made a note to watch it once it was available, and I do not do that often!

There are obvious issues with plausibility, but I expected that going in. The storyline is laughable. I mean that in both the good AND bad way! The characters are mostly textbook, but there's a chemistry here. Some of the cheesiest scenes are almost endearing in their eye-rolling silliness.

When all is said and done, I enjoyed this show. I have an affinity for a few of the characters, and even the most unlikable are goofy enough to forgive.

I recommend you set your expectations low, and just enjoy a cute holiday ride.

Who the hell came up with this and can I have whatever they were on? Seriously, how does someone even think of making a movie about a snowman coming to life? It's utterly ridiculous, but honestly... it wasn't half bad.

There are some glaring plot holes (besides the obvious "snowman coming to life" thing). For example, the fact that a school hired a random guy with no background check. Also, the fact that everyone in the town seems to think the snowman guy is insanely hot. I don't want to critique anyone's appearance, but the way they're talking about him... it's like, he's the hottest guy in the world. They should've gotten someone who fit that description or toned down the comments. But if you can suspend your disbelief, it's kind of fun.

The plot is pretty predictable, and the story is nothing new (pretty typical "fish out of water who doesn't know how to function in the real world" stuff). Since I happen to enjoy those kind of stories, I didn't mind it. If you want some silly, stupid fun, you might like this.

I'd say my favorite part, though, was the cops. If you're a Brooklyn 99 fan, you'll like that we essentially see Doug Judy and Charles Boyle team up.

I enjoyed Lacey Chabert in this movie, as I do any movie she's in. She's talented, warm... the ideal Christmas movie diva.

However, I found myself constantly distracted by the appearance of Dustin. He looks like he did some sort of fluid and food fast (bodybuilder stuff) before shooting. I gasped every time he came on screen.

My real problem isn't with this, but with the fact that we, as the audience, are supposed to find this emaciated appearance to be sexy.

I like him as an actor, but this was really hard to watch. What happened to that adorable man from Schitt's Creek?

This movie shocked me more than I'd like to admit, for reasons I never expected.
