Coup de foudre sous les flocons

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..

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.

Rebecca Dalton has had at least one real bomb but also a couple I enjoyed. Her appearance makes me think she is a model, but I can't find that in her bio. For me she is strikingly beautiful. I won't say that she is a great actress. Marcus Rosner is a veteran for Hallmark, but I have never thought he stood out.

Put them together in a movie that follows the usual lines and you get a middle of the road product which some will love and others not so much.

I will say the snowflake angle is a new one. I looked it up and found one article saying there are at least 30 types. Hmm.

The writers try to liven the story by having another photographer compete with Teagan to have an entry in the auction that one benefactor has already promised big bucks for if the lot includes that rare 12 sided snowflake. This might have added to the story if the competitor hadn't been so obviously inept. Her shady side must have been the intended hook, but just irritated me.

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.

The makers of this movie probably have never seen a real snowstorm. If they want to see what a real snow storm looks like they should come to Minnesota. It's hard to enjoy the movie when the special effects are so bad. How can they be in a major snowstorm and there's no snow in the road but one of the main premises of the movie was them going into a severe snowstorm. For someone that has lived through many severe snowstorms this just wasn't believable.

It would have been an enjoyable movie if not for such unbelievable special effects. Hopefully Hallmark can do better which would make the story much more enjoyable.
