Un muñeco de nieve para derretirse

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.

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 magical little romcom has something extra - real comedy. It takes a standard Christmas movie formula, down to Lacey Chabert, the queen of Christmas low budget romance movies that are made for television, and levels it up with 1) Dustin Milligan (the hottie from Schitt's Creek, but hopefully soon to be recognized from much more, with his own comedy bonafides) as the romantic interest, and he is several grades above the usual tv movie actor fare. 2) Two of the main characters from massive award winning comedy hit Brooklyn Nine Nine, with "Judy" from that show now the comedic sheriff, who steals every scene, and his deputy "Charles" (who was lead Andy Samberg's trusty sidekick) - both of these actors are comedians well respected in the comedy world and you certainly don't expect to see them pulling their B99 hilarity in a film about a real life snowman! 3) The rest of the cast is charming, as well, and here they're given a bit better material (script/dialog) to work with than in the standard formulaic Xmas movie scripts (which, to be fair, are entertaining for the rate and speed in which Hallmark is pumping them out). So this improved script also helps raise Frosty to lofty heights, with this film up in the clouds looking down on Christmas films of yore.

It's surprising that Netflix would even go near this genre, since Hallmark loyalists are truly loyal, and their shtick is beloved. But I suspect that everyone who loves Christmas films will appreciate this one just a bit more than the others. Very sweet - do more of this, Netflix, and it wouldn't kill you to make a Hanukkah one!

A very easy version of Jake Frost. What can you xpect more after a tough job day ? Some humor, some sensuality, a kind of romance - not credible, but after tones of movies of genre, acceptable, not top acting but , with few serious spoons of indulgence, not so awful, and cliches. And a so unrealistic twist than it becomes...reasonable.

For not be critic , a superficial parody sounds just well. And the Charming Prince as result of animated statue or snowman is so dusty idea than it is far by surprises or obstacle to offer full unrealism and some crazy situations. The story of poor Jack is compensated by the nice performances of supporting actors , by the experience of Lacey Chabert, by impetuous lady offered by Katy Mixon Greer and by kick to be improvised schrink of sheriff Nate created by Craig Robinson. Not last by red scarf.

So, Hot Frosty. Preferable, only in boredom period or after tough day , with a cup of tea and some need to full comfort.
