    So pretty, so bland, so lacking in chemistry

    This movie should be a wonderful addition to the seasonal lineup.

    The script is no worse than many. It has all the necessary elements: a handsom, driven businessman, a fit and pretty woman, incredible mountain scenery, enforced isolation, and a legal situation guaranteed to produce very real conflict.

    Sadly, the actors were stiff, the dialogue trite, and the deep conflict at the heart of the story just flattened out under the combination of the two. These two actors simply aren't leading-light quality at this point in their careers.

    Lesson all filmmakers should know from the time they pick up their first camera: if there are only two people in a the majority of scenes in a movie, they need to have very strong acting skills to carry the emotional arc through every moment, whether they're speaking, reacting, or just walking across a room.

    No chemistry

    Two characters whom I couldn't see together romantically. The movie was very stilted and the storyline unbelievable. Female character exaggerated every emotion. Very bad acting.

    A piece of hot poop💩

    Worst Christmas movie ever! It will actually take you out of the Christmas spirit with the bad direction and the extremely unpleasant acting by the lead female. However, it's not totally her fault, the actors had a piece of crap script. I guess this was supposed to be like a Hallmark Christmas special filled with joy, but instead it turned out to be a Christmas nightmare.

    Who was the knucklehead that approved this boring script?! There are student films out there that are far superior. The production company should never hire the casting director ever again, apparently he doesn't know what poor talent is when it's in front of him. Overall, this film rates a -D !

    Two strangers stranded in a cabin in the middle of nowhere.

    Good. That's an hour and a half i'll never get back. I didn't expect much and yet I was disappointed. A woman, in a cabin, during the holidays trying to do some "work", who claims that time of the year is to be with family, yet she is not. How hypocrite. Secondly, a bussiness man who inherited said cabin, half of it, actually.

    He arrives at the cabin, there is snowtorm announced, and you have the two leads sharing said cabin. At first they don't get along, she is mad about him being a Walker (the man is living relative of one of the co-owners, she is the great grand daughter of the other co-owner. She didn't know that she only owned 50%). Things DO NOT start to get excited as it should : leads sharing time together, developing a relationship. (One hike and a game are not enough). There was no chemistry. The actors were not good enough, specially the actress playing Sammy. It was infuriating. She was grumpy, stomping her feet like a child. The lead actor was slightly better.

    I'm so mad at the storyline and how Sammy behaved: at first she was kicking him out, then asking him to stay, and finally when he had to get back, because he had overstayed, she was again behaving like a child. She may not have anything urgent, but he had importance bussiness (Christmas or not, doesn't matter) just because she was avoiding the rest of her life, doesn't mean he also has to. Also, how do they have electricity, gas...?

    I love Lifetime/Hallmark, and i'm used to their quality, their overused plots, but this was pathetic.

    The views were nice.

    Terrible acting, directing, editing

    Holy cow, I know cheesy Christmas movies aren't Oscar-worthy, but this one is awful.
