Lo sapevi?
- QuizThis was filmed in the Canadian Okanagan, Manning Park, and Maple Ridge BC.
- BlooperAt the beginning of the film, the announcer identifies Claire's final jump that she ends up missing as a triple axel. Axel jumps have a forward entry. Claire is rotating around to create momentum and she is facing backwards when she takes off for the jump. It looks like she's doing either a toe-loop or lutz jump (can't see her feet to be sure).
- Citazioni
Lou: Oh... He was, was he? Well, I think daddy might have been showing off for a girl.
Chamonix: Daddy, do you like Claire?
Luke: Uh, Lou, did, uh, did that ski wax we ordered come in.
Chamonix: She's real pretty daddy, and she skates. You like to skate, right, daddy?
Luke: You know what, Chamonix? I think our good friend, Lou, here might have a little bit of crush on Claire's mom.
Chamonix: Uncle Lou, is that true?
Luke: Yeah, is it?
Lou: I'm going to go look for the ski wax.
Chamonix: Are you going to marry her?

Performed by Crew of A Snow Capped Christmas
Despite the concept not making me go wow, 'Snowcapped Christmas' did sound very cute. The setting also sounded nice and have liked Niall Matter in other things. 'Snowcapped Christmas' turned out to be a lovely if unexceptional watch, nothing blew my mind and very little frustrated me at the same time. There are better Christmas films out there, but also far worse. This is a high middle effort as far as my recent Christmas film viewings go.
'Snowcapped Christmas' isn't perfect. Its biggest and most glaring problem being the ice skating, which shows real lack of research and is very basically choreographed and danced. For such a high goal, it did seem unrealistic that the ice skating is as basic as it is and inaccurate.
Expectedly, 'Snowcapped Christmas' is pretty predictable and has some slow stretches early on. Much of it was easily telegraphed early on and is played a little too safely. The conclusion is too neat for my liking as well.
However, there is a lot to like here about the film. It is very nicely shot with the scenery having a cosy charm. The music is not over-bearing or syrupy and is quite nostalgic. There are enough amusing and sweet moments in the writing, even having a nice and not too preachy message, and the film is hardly without soul. Actually found much of it still very charming and heart-warming, as well as easy to like. The direction didn't in my mind come from somebody who didn't care, the character interaction was not stiff or static and the spirit of Christmas is handled just about right.
Furthermore, the characters were investable and are neither too perfect or over-flawed. Leah Renee and Matter are immensely charming leads, especially Renee, and Lisa Whelchel sparkles in her role. The daughter is also played very endearingly, no cutesiness or brattiness and actually comes over as relatable.
Concluding, nice film despite the ice skating and that there is not much new. 7/10.
