Snowkissed

Do we really have to have a "NewYorker " to come to our wonderful places to give us a lesson about it?! Is it not enough to take them in real life, do we have to watch a movie about it? We are smart, intelligent nation, not full of with hillbillies .Probably you understand why I do not like this movie from the beginning.

Jen has always made great movies, but oh how frantic can one girl be. Whining, afraid, unsure... She never stops. It just isn't pleasent or enjoyable to watch her being so manic. We want to take a break and enjoy a movie, not get anxiety from watching.

Some reviews were so harsh. Yes, Jen Lilly was whining and whining, but that was her part. She is only comfortable in Manhattan and isn't very adventurous at all.... Chris McNally's role was that he was nervous and tried too hard to be entertaining. You find out that so much was riding on his success as a tour guide. I like him in any role I've seen him play. The movie was a departure from the formula of a festival, old friend showing up etc. The supporting actors were good in their roles also. Light fun and escape.

Update: I initially a gave this movie 4 rating, but I have it another chance because I like the actors so much. It really grew on me. Once I realized Jen Lilley's character is supposed to be that way, I found the whole thing fubny.

Original: The scenery was beautiful. I really was looking forward to this movie since I really like Jen Lilley and Chris McNally and the commercias were good. The Jen Lilley character was so whiny. Amy Groening and Rodrigo Beifuss were the best part of the movie.

This would have been a much better movie had Amy Groening been the lead instead of Jen Lilly. Far more energy and charisma. I thought the male leads were fine but their parts were written a bit stilted.

What shocked me is that Hallmark actually let characters be from some place in Canada, a first in my experience.

Banff was the real winner here as people glimpsed at least a very small taste of why it is so popular.

Give Amy some lead roles. Jen looked pale and a shadow of herself and maybe she is just done for this format of movies.
