We've seen all the snowed-in Christmas movies. Some include the pain of the travel problems. Some just basically cut right to snowed-in. Either way, the romantic leads get off to a rough start and "warm" up to each other after a while. This movie barely resembles those other ones.
A 19 year old pregnant woman, Lisa, is running from something. Her bus gets rerouted back where it came from because of snow so she convinces a male stranger, Brad, to take her onward. They run off the road and after nearly freezing find a closed down inn. The owner is an angry older woman who meets them with a gun. Fortunately the male handy man calms her down so they take the couple in.
So far, except maybe for the gun, it's kind of familiar. There are a couple of things the viewer can see coming, but it's not in the usual way. For one thing, the owner has a backstory that unfolds a bit at a time. Pieces come together and things get a little sentimental. Instead of baking cookies and building snowmen, one of the more interesting activities is a slightly sanitized scene of delivering a baby.
The acting was good. Each of the couples had chemistry, even if at times it was like sandpaper for one of them.
I like that not all things are tied up tightly and the viewer can decide at least one or two things.
