Frozen in Love

Take a nerdy, know-it-all yet sheltered book store owner, add a self centered, bad-boy hockey player who must depend on each other to achieve their goals and hilarity ensues. Their constant back and forth will keep you laughing the whole movie. It's a don't miss, oil and water romance

A bookshop not in the best situation and a hockey star looking for repair his public image. And, as a sort of Cupido, a PR agent. A film giving what you expect grace for Niall Matter experience, for the nice story, with each piece of predactibility, for tension and unrealism, for books - Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Wuthering Heights are the best, no doubts- and for the atmosphere. Shor, nice.

This one gets much better if you can hang in till the second half. The chemistry between the two main characters really comes out. I'm not sure how it will end up, but it's worth waiting for.

I had previously only seen Rachael Lee Cook in those 'Vineyard' Hallmark films, and felt she was a bit wooden, so didn't hold out a lot of hope for this.

I was pleased to be proved wrong. This is a good Hallmark film, and she is given far more of a character to play, displaying a nice dry wit.

With a good story, and some nice chemistry between the leads I would certainly recommend this film.

I can see reading other reviews that some love the movie, and others where kinda "mehh" about it. I am a single dad and usually watch these movies with my teen daughter. I have also reviewed several other Hallmark Christmas movies since I started getting hooked on them in 2016. Others in their reviews have outlined the plot so I shall not touch on that in my comments and instead focus on our impressions of the movie.

Speaking for both of us, we really enjoyed this movie. We found it more realistic and relatable then many of the other hallmark holiday season themed movies and we thought the chemistry between the leads was great. I have never been a Rachel Cook fan, and even in this movie it took a bit of time to warm up to her, although at the end of the movie I thought she looked very pretty. On the other hand I have always really liked Niall Matter in these types of movies - he fits into the characters they have him portray very well and we thought he hit a home run in this movie. My daughter is reminding me we saw him as the lead in another Hallmark holiday movie last year which we also enjoyed.

There were many occasions during the movie where we laughed, and otherwise we always had a smile on our faces. It was an enjoyable movie. I think most Hallmark fans would be charmed by this movie.

We felt this movie deserved a very good rating. Please note we rate relative to the genre. For a Hallmark movie this was a home run, and so it gets a 9 in that context.
