Angels in the Snow

This was a cute movie except for the little girl whose voice ruined the movie. Why she was the center of it I have no idea.

Such a heartwarming movie, a movie you want to watch with the whole family

19 November 2017. It's not often one comes across a made for television Christmas show that really hits home, but Angels in the Snow manages to do just that. The emotional turmoil is well portrayed in more subtle tones than the typical melodramatic distraught family. Chris Potter as the father and husband does a superb job of inwardly directing his portrayal as well as presenting an outward persona of both insolence and personal pain. Just one example is a brief shot of his expression of concerned anticipation waiting to see his wife's reaction when they reach the huge cabin he had built. There is seemingly as feeling of magic in this movie along with a valuable message of the importance of the Christmas spirit. The storyline is tight, the interactions between family members and strangers are full of meaning and even the critical dramatic highlights are believable and explained satisfactorily. Even coming in at a short 90 minutes, the movie seemed to extend itself comfortably much longer. A movie not to be missed.

This movie is clearly a B movie. And it is as good as a B movie now is.

Judith comes across as unfair towards Charles. They're both to blame for their faulty marriage but Judith gives Charles all the blame. This makes her come across as a bit of an annoyance.

And then we have Emily. She serves as the narrator in a way and we see the movie from her perspective. I can not comprehend how it's possible to make a character that annoying. I really wish she wasn't the one narrating but eh it's okay if you're fine with loud attention-seeking kids.

Regardless of the sometimes annoying characters this story really had potential. And it's even fairly enjoyable. It would probably have been better if they did not absolutely over explain the ending as if this movie was intended for 2 year olds AND drop massive hints that reveals it pretty much right away. But still it's a rather cute family Christmas movie that is worth a watch... Maybe.

The ending of this movie was obvious from the title. Throughout the movie, the acting was kind of cringy and the Montgomery family was concerning. The mother was very self-absorbed and there were some points during the movie were I actually felt bad for Joe, the father. Alexander and Jennifer were fine characters, but they had absolutely no storyline. The best character was definitely Judith. The message was really sweet, but poorly executed.
