A very easy version of Jake Frost. What can you xpect more after a tough job day ? Some humor, some sensuality, a kind of romance - not credible, but after tones of movies of genre, acceptable, not top acting but , with few serious spoons of indulgence, not so awful, and cliches. And a so unrealistic twist than it becomes...reasonable.
For not be critic , a superficial parody sounds just well. And the Charming Prince as result of animated statue or snowman is so dusty idea than it is far by surprises or obstacle to offer full unrealism and some crazy situations. The story of poor Jack is compensated by the nice performances of supporting actors , by the experience of Lacey Chabert, by impetuous lady offered by Katy Mixon Greer and by kick to be improvised schrink of sheriff Nate created by Craig Robinson. Not last by red scarf.
So, Hot Frosty. Preferable, only in boredom period or after tough day , with a cup of tea and some need to full comfort.

Stars dustin milligan (schitts creek, extract) and lacey chabert (mean girls). When a snowman comes to life, he accidentally commits a crime. And now the sheriff is looking for him. But no-one can describe his face. Just his... body parts. It's good! Pretty simple story. Some subtle snowman jokes, like when kathy eats the head off of the snowman christmas cookies. Almost dirty, all the ladies in town want him. And don't seem to care that he's just a snowman. It's silly and fun. Keep an eye out for doctor dottie... she was the sister on mike and molly! And the deputy is from reno 911. Directed by jerry ciccoritti. Interesting connection.... he directed fourteen episodes of schitts creek.. which co-starred... dustin milligan! Story by russell hainline; he seems to write a whole lot of christmas-y stuff. Plain, simple, story, but it's entertaining enough.
Who the hell came up with this and can I have whatever they were on? Seriously, how does someone even think of making a movie about a snowman coming to life? It's utterly ridiculous, but honestly... it wasn't half bad.
There are some glaring plot holes (besides the obvious "snowman coming to life" thing). For example, the fact that a school hired a random guy with no background check. Also, the fact that everyone in the town seems to think the snowman guy is insanely hot. I don't want to critique anyone's appearance, but the way they're talking about him... it's like, he's the hottest guy in the world. They should've gotten someone who fit that description or toned down the comments. But if you can suspend your disbelief, it's kind of fun.
The plot is pretty predictable, and the story is nothing new (pretty typical "fish out of water who doesn't know how to function in the real world" stuff). Since I happen to enjoy those kind of stories, I didn't mind it. If you want some silly, stupid fun, you might like this.
I'd say my favorite part, though, was the cops. If you're a Brooklyn 99 fan, you'll like that we essentially see Doug Judy and Charles Boyle team up.

Christmas season is coming and so are the heartwarming holiday stories. Which doesn't have much basis in reality, but it's good to watch because it revives our Christmas wishes. Weak characters, a childish story, a film that can only be watched once, but it prepares you for the festive mood. It can be viewed once in the background.
If you want to prepare yourself for this mood, then watch it, but there are much better Christmas movies. It is even better if you watch old holiday hallmark movies, they are also boring, but at least they deal with human stories that smell more alive.
Happy Christmas, and happy Christmas pre-feeling time:)

I enjoyed Lacey Chabert in this movie, as I do any movie she's in. She's talented, warm... the ideal Christmas movie diva.
However, I found myself constantly distracted by the appearance of Dustin. He looks like he did some sort of fluid and food fast (bodybuilder stuff) before shooting. I gasped every time he came on screen.
My real problem isn't with this, but with the fact that we, as the audience, are supposed to find this emaciated appearance to be sexy.
I like him as an actor, but this was really hard to watch. What happened to that adorable man from Schitt's Creek?
This movie shocked me more than I'd like to admit, for reasons I never expected.
