A Winter Getaway

The movie has potential. The story seemed interesting. But I thought the ending with dancing and music and dialogue all at once was difficult.

It didn't feel genuine and there was too much going on to focus on the actors alone. It felt forced to me.

There are some of these movies that I would watch again; unfortunately this is not one of them.

Not for acting, not for story itself , not for the too sweet end it is not bad to see this film but for details, from curling, art gallery, beer and old game of apparences. And, off course, for landscapes. It is just a correct Hallmark film, predictable, nice and reduced at theoretical chemistry between main characters.

I never realized there was such a thing as a personal travel concierge, but I guess the premise isn't that much different than say a party planner. Can't say that switching an average Joe for a billionaire is that common for a premise, but still the whole thing wasn't that unusual. Then there is what I call "the hanging lie" or "hanging secret". That always goes the same way - you know what's going to happen. There were no great highs or lows or big surprises.

Nazneen Contractor and Brooks Darnell were both new to me this past Christmas season and I can't say either one impressed me in the combined four previous movies I've seen with one or the other. But something connected for me in this movie. I guess that's what chemistry is between the leads. I also enjoyed Erik Athavale's part as Gabe. (Interesting that he's reunited with Darnell.)

I just plain enjoyed the movie. I enjoyed going along for the ride.

Hallmark often has great winter scenery which is true again.

I found the music to be so annoying. In several scenes I could not hear what the actors were saying over the VERY LOUD music!

A serious conversation between the lead actors is impossible to hear near the end of the movie, once again Hallmark has made the music too loud! Otherwise, a nice story and a good cast. Good movie, bad sound...
