Un Noël cinq étoiles

The movie was cute, but boring. Did anyone notice the with 21:26 to go in the movie they show a panover shot of the city, and it is literally on fire? Flames coming out of buildings.

A workteam travels to pitch a villa project but a bad weather left Rachel and Adrian living a day as queen and king allowing them to know each other better. This is what I call a background movie.

It won't matter if we miss a scene or a dialogue because it can be described with two words: dating and eating, and we still knowing what's happening. Not big dificulties for the characters, not even enough twists that could make anyone being interested on the characters situations because everything seemed to be already solved. Things looked more faked than all fictions movies are. Doesn't matter how much fiction it has, audience could end up believing in the performance. In other words, not much spoilers to ruin.

The acting could have been better. I feel the director could have asked for more because actors and actresses seemed to be capaple. But it went according to a simple script.

Well, I must admit that a movie based on a Harlequin novel wasn't really what brought the most expectations to mind as I sat down to watch the 2019 Christmas movie "Snowbound for Christmas". But with it being a movie that I hadn't already seen, and this being the season and all, of course I managed to find the time to sit down and watch this movie from director Marco Deufemia.

Writer Shannon Stacey did manage to put together a movie that was entertaining. Sure "Snowbound for Christmas" contains the usual Christmas cheese that you often see in this type of romantic holiday movies, for better or worse, but I will say that it was actually watchable and entertaining enough.

Sure, the storyline was predictable and playing all on the archetypical tropes seen in similar Christmas movies, so you pretty much know what you are in for here beforehand sitting down to watch "Snowbound for Christmas". But if you enjoy these sappy Christmas movies, then you will certainly also enjoy the 2019 "Snowbound for Christmas".

The acting performances in the movie were good. I wasn't familiar with anyone on the cast list here, which is something that I do enjoy when watching movies. And I will say that people did good jobs with their given roles and characters, so they had cast a good ensemble of actors and actresses.

My rating of "Snowbound for Christmas" lands on a five out of ten stars.

I was hoping this movie would live up to the promise of the higher rated user reviews, but mainly it just became a series of events to follow along within an implausible plot. It was pleasant enough to watch and enjoy in the context of the plot tensions and some interesting settings, but that was about it. There was no real energy to get the viewer engaged.

This was a fun, superficial, predictable film, about beautiful young people in their cloistered world. The best acting was by Rachel's father.

Scenery and snow was pretty, made me miss winter, until the Jeep driving scene, on snowy roads.

But nice to see winter romanticized.

Enjoyable movie, for anti-intellectuals.
