Baci di neve

Some reviews were so harsh. Yes, Jen Lilly was whining and whining, but that was her part. She is only comfortable in Manhattan and isn't very adventurous at all.... Chris McNally's role was that he was nervous and tried too hard to be entertaining. You find out that so much was riding on his success as a tour guide. I like him in any role I've seen him play. The movie was a departure from the formula of a festival, old friend showing up etc. The supporting actors were good in their roles also. Light fun and escape.

The constant refrain from Jen Lilley's character about being from Manhattan and how she doesn't see the point of experiencing anything else is really tiresome and I'm only halfway through the movie

This would have been a much better movie had Amy Groening been the lead instead of Jen Lilly. Far more energy and charisma. I thought the male leads were fine but their parts were written a bit stilted.

What shocked me is that Hallmark actually let characters be from some place in Canada, a first in my experience.

Banff was the real winner here as people glimpsed at least a very small taste of why it is so popular.

Give Amy some lead roles. Jen looked pale and a shadow of herself and maybe she is just done for this format of movies.

Alberta has amazing mountain scenery, but Banff does not have the Calgary hotel, which was seen peaking behind the hotel they went to tour (and not the famous Banff Springs). The early film had the group driving from Calgary to Banff a rather bumpy road. What I do know is the highway to Banff is anything but bumpy. It's too bad the film makers can't get facts right.

Update: I initially a gave this movie 4 rating, but I have it another chance because I like the actors so much. It really grew on me. Once I realized Jen Lilley's character is supposed to be that way, I found the whole thing fubny.

Original: The scenery was beautiful. I really was looking forward to this movie since I really like Jen Lilley and Chris McNally and the commercias were good. The Jen Lilley character was so whiny. Amy Groening and Rodrigo Beifuss were the best part of the movie.
