    Why? Why? Why?

    The score may be generous. I've seen the leads in other roles before, but their acting was far better. The biggest issue I had with this movie was that the background music NEVER seems to stop....and I mean never. Every bit of dialogue in this movie, is done over music.

    So, bad acting, weak story, constant dialogue over music, and gthis is a less than stellar 90 minutes.

    Bad Bad Bad

    Everyone has touched on the acting and the writing. I will give my two cents on the filming. There is a scene where Kate is knocking on the door asking for forgiveness from the one she loves. You can see the cameraman's reflection. At first I couldn't make out the image, until the third shot. Santa takes her down the hill in a horse drawn sled. The overhead shot is obviously computer animated, repetitive, and jumpy (think playing the computer game Oregon trail). When they show a close up shot, the reigns are not taut, he has no obvious control. There is a scene where Travis is having a talk with his dad. From the camera angles, it appears that Travis isn't even looking at his dad. Bottomline....bad bad bad.

    terrible...terrible movie

    Very lousy movie on so many levels. The acting is terrible. Except for the leading lady, whom is actually pretty good, the others act cold and are reading a script. there is NO passion or credibility. There is NO chemistry between any of the characters, as a matter of fact it seems like they don't even like each other. The guy that plays the part of the olympic skier wannabe is a cold, unconvincing dead fish. Totally unbelievable. here are multiple errors and sub-standard CGI imagery. The directing is horrible. the plot is weak.

    Messy movie

    This movie was all over the place. Another runaway bride movie with some extra and somewhat useless characters thrown in just to make it more messy.

    The lead actress could not be more drab. Totally phoning in her performance. No connection between her and the two male characters who are both romantically involved with her. It really did not matter who she ended up with because the story was dumb.

    Just strange.

    I'm honestly not sure if this was supposed to be a parody or not. We couldn't even make it through the whole thing, we kept having to fast forward it. It was so strangely filmed, the effects to try and fake snow in some scenes were very distracting, and it was extremely over acted. I love cheesy Christmas films, but this was just awkward to watch. Quite a disappointment!
