Christmas on Ice

Actually I must admit that when I sat down to watch the 2020 Christmas movie "Christmas on Ice" from writer and director John Stimpson, I believed it to be yet another archetypical sappy Christmas movie that comes a dime a dozen.

But still, as it was a movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I opted to give the movie a chance.

And now having seen it, I have to say that "Christmas on Ice" was actually a little bit more than just your typical sappy romantic Christmas cheese. Sure, the movie had that aspect to it as well, but the whole aspect of the daughter and making it her best Christmas was actually quite nice.

The acting performances in "Christmas on Ice" were good. I can't claim to be familiar with the people on the cast list, but lead actress Abigail Klein and lead actor Ryan Cooper actually carried the movie quite well with their performances, and definitely had a great on-screen chemistry.

"Christmas on Ice" gives the audience a bit more than your archetypical Christmas cheese that you are served in an abundance by the Christmas movies. So it is actually well-worth taking the time to sit down and watch this 2020 Christmas movie.

My rating of "Christmas on Ice" lands on a six out of ten stars.

Story the same. Love found. Had some twists and turns. It was watchable - unlike some Lifetime Christmas movies. Leads had good chemistry.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD ... please lose all the love songs! One per movie is plenty. This one must gave gad 5-6 of them. So totally not necessary.

This is my 1st Lifetime Christmas movie of the 2020 season. Overall, it was pretty good. I do agree with another reviewer on here: the music was really bad at times/really bad for some scenes. That said, the acting was good. Abigail Klein was great (a lot of Christmas cheer in her performance). The supporting cast was also very good; I particularly like the performance of the daughter and grandfather. The film does a good job too of providing the festive/Christmas atmosphere, which I have grown to like in Hallmark and Lifetime movies. Overall, a good start to the 2020 Christmas movie season by Lifetime.

I really wanted to like this movie, but the plot seemed to be moving predictably and slowly along with no real surprises and without developing any real chemistry between any of the leads, so I gave up after a little while.

Cute movie in a city with little attention given to it. I love skating. This movie is entertaining!
