Coup de foudre sous les flocons

5.8 stars.

Turned out to be a pretty dismal experience. I thought this might have potential for a while, but the script is lazy and the leads have no chemistry and the story is mundane. And I haven't even touched on the production itself. It's shoddily made and even the music is a bit silly for me.

This is a very mild snow caper where two friends are searching for a rare flake. Add to this a nefarious photographer trying to get the perfect photo before the lead female. It becomes silly and awkward. There is no thrill or drama or romance, and as a result, no coherence.

I checked out around 70 minutes and the rest of the movie played in the background as I did other stuff.

Yes, your typical Hallmark a couple gets caught in a snowstorm plot. But the twist is a photographer is given the task to get a photo of a rare 12 sided snowflake in order for an art collector to purchase her work, which is a tidy sum that will help the community. Actor Marcus Rosner plays Noah, a friend from her childhood, who helps her on her mission. Marcus Rosner is hot, hot, hot, I'll watch any movie he's in. Rebecca Dalton is Tegan, the photographer. There is good chemistry between the two leads. People complain about the shoddy special effects regarding the snowstorm, come on folks, this is a simple Hallmark movie. Give this movie some grace its a sweet enjoyable romcom, better than most Hallmark movies..

Like in many other cases , the first temptation is to be ironic about this type of film. Sure, all is predictable and the acting is pretty decent and the snowflakes photos are just beautiful. But the portrait of rival, the girl and the snowstorm are not the most inspired ingredients.

So, for me the film is saved by supporting actors, especially John Nightingale and his costume, his carols band and , not last, the house of Wayne.

Sure, not high expectations but few charming scenes and the romance who, finally you must accept this, is the only matter thing.

So, the perfect snowflake story . And the generosity of a rich man as kick for seductive, agitated and succesful love story after some...adventures.

This had to be one of the stupidest premises for a Hallmark movie ever! Who in their right mind would ever believe this story? The acting was horrible, the snowstorm special effects weren't even believable, with the sun shining during the snowstorms, with all of the highways being mysteriously devoid of any snow at all. The writers of this monstrosity obviously did some serious drinking before they hatched this abomination, and I'm surprised that Hallmark even wasted their time filming it. I hope that they will reconsider ever showing this again, but I'm sure that they will unfortunately keep doing so.

Not good.

The previews definitely didn't thrill me, but I've been proven wrong before. However, that didn't happen with this one.

The actress is not a favorite of mine. Every movie she is in I don't enjoy her character or acting. This movie wasn't any different.

The actor, I don't mind, but they had zero chemistry, and the storyline is just ridiculous. Many aspects of this movie were irritating. The so-called villain rival photographer, the lack of snowstorm equipment, and the forgotten camera hurt my head.

This is not a rewatch for me, and it really was tough to get through the first time.
