Snowbound for Christmas

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.

The story is pretty simple and predictable. (Even if it is predictable, it would be nice if other reviewers would avoid blatant spoilers.)

The romance is pretty blah. I didn't think the leads had much chemistry and the movie certainly didn't sell me as to why either one would pine over the other.

The most interesting part of the movie was the annoying Diane. She was obviously a characteture of a villainous rival, but she was harmless and lame. If you like that kind of humor, then it adds to the movie. Jean Luc was also a bit different and totally unprofessional, but I think that was the point.

If I'm going to watch a Christmas movie I want to know what it's about so that I know whether or not to waste my time so the Person who complained about a spoiler for this movie Doesn't have the advantage of wanting to make sure a movie watched is quality time spent. I'm glad this movie was spoiled for me because then I knew whether I would like it Without feeling like I wasted two hours of my time that I could've spent watching a Christmas movie Christmas which despite the negative reviews I think it's hilarious

I just watched Snowbound for Christmas and was pleasantly surprised how good it was! I love old classics for the holliday and decided to try somthing more up to date. I loved it so much I'm hoping for a sequel! Both the writing and the acting were on point. Please make a sequel as a follow up!

I like the diversity of the cast. However, both of the lead cast members look biracial yet their parents are both black, black (my skin folks will understand this). Do better! At least make families match.

Outside of this, this was a very cheesy Christmas romance pretty much on script.
