Snowmance

Although one shouldn't expect much from a christmas movie, this one had not wrapped up the main plot prompt nicely. It ended with a lot of open ends, when a film like this one doesn't usually have much of a complicated story to do that. The snowy setting was good though.

I've just watched "Bridget Jones's Baby" and I can say that the same thing that annoyed me about that film is what annoys me with this one. If you've had nearly twenty years to pronounce your undying love for your best friend and done nothing about it, perhaps you aren't worthy of her anyway and should move aside to let the sexy snow man give her a good life, even if she isn't actually that nice a person and definitely not worthy of Jesse Hutch (Swoon). Because in real life, you would choose Jesse and a trip to Paris!

I'm probably only scoring this film so high, because Jesse takes his shirt off. It's not for the acting or the other two leads, or even for the supporting cast, although the Elk Jerky lady is fun, but some of the score might be for the story, which is at least a bit different if a bit silly.

It's quite interesting to note that the "leading man" (Not Jesse) only seems to have played the brother-in-law and such other supporting roles after this film. I'm not sure I would have given him this opportunity.

I think it would have made a nice change for the friends to realise that they are never going to work and to take risks on new people instead of the traditional falling in love in the final moments thing. Usually they would all get a happy ending, so why couldn't he have got together with Jerky Girl instead?

I'll watch it again, because The Hutch's sexy body never gets old!

Ashley Newbrough couldn't act her way out of a paper bag, yet she seems to get parts, but in this film I couldn't have cared less what happens to her. The plot is typical Hallmark and with a different cast could have been magical, but its way missed the mark this time.

The movie is boring. Totally unrealistic. Ok, I know it's Hallmark but even for them this movie is way too much. Sarah is even made to stay in that town by her father and friends even when she always dreamed of having adventures and go after what she wanted. Plus she behaves like a teen!! She settled. She wanted Nick as a friend. Not as a boyfriend. Don't waste your time.

5.1 stars.

The lead actress looks different. I've seen her in lots of stuff and she's a good actress, but in 'Snowmance' it's like this was her "before" she took acting classes, persona. She is NOT the same actress I've seen, almost like a twin sister filling in, expecting the audience to be unaware. I think she's pregnant while filming, there is obvious extra weight (you can see it in her face). I don't judge extra pounds, but whenever any actor gains obvious substantial weight, I do mention it. I figured the lead male was going to help carry this story, but his contribution was minimal. The secondary male should have been the lead. And why does he say he likes "that little guy"? First of all, he's smaller than "that little guy". The whole experience is slow, mundane, uninspired. I skipped to the end just to see if the movie has any possibilities of future viewings. First 15 minutes: 5.0 (painful). Last 15 minutes: 5.2 (lackluster).
