Snowbound for Christmas

Snowbound for Christmas

Moviecut—Snowbound for Christmas

I usually LOVE Netflix's Christmas movies. However, this one missed the mark for me. While I am a fan of Henderson Wade, Adrian's character lacks in both depth and "likeability", which makes it difficult to get invested in the story. I found his romance story with Rachel to be dull and rushed. Diane and Fred's chemistry was more believable, but none of the characters are all that memorable. Snowbound for Christmas is nothing more than a causal movie you have on in the background during the holiday season.

At minute 51:50 part, she pours "hot chocolate" in to 2 cups. They toast (sound guy could have at least covered up the sound of two, obviously empty, cups clanking and then do you think the director could get a different angle other than her drinking from the empty cup? You could literally see into the cup....nothing in it! Lol. I laughed so hard. I didn't realize this movie was so funny!!!

If I'm going to watch a Christmas movie I want to know what it's about so that I know whether or not to waste my time so the Person who complained about a spoiler for this movie Doesn't have the advantage of wanting to make sure a movie watched is quality time spent. I'm glad this movie was spoiled for me because then I knew whether I would like it Without feeling like I wasted two hours of my time that I could've spent watching a Christmas movie Christmas which despite the negative reviews I think it's hilarious

First off...the sloppily done comment. The photos they showed of a "blizzard"...that was no blizzard, particularly for a ski resort! And then, when the blizzard was supposed to be over, one shot was showing heavy snow. Which was it? And how is a road perfectly clear one minute and snow-packed with snow a couple of minutes later. That's what I mean by sloppily done. And, by the way, who the heck picked out Henderson Wade's shirt. Must have been the exclusive line from K-Mart. That behind us, there are some things to like about this film. First off, I enjoyed Zarrin Darnell-Martin. I'd enjoy seeing her in more things. And Henderson Wade is very pleasant on-screen. The kinda guy you'd like to know. Feels comfortable. I'd enjoy seeing him in more things. And those two are what saved this (as a couple of our reviewers said) "thin" story. They were good together, and you wanted that happy ending you knew was coming. There's not really much more to say here. Decent supporting actors, though no one stands out...except for Josephine Buettner...whom I don't want to see again. It was pleasant.

My Christmas film viewings over-time have been a very mixed bag. With some surprisingly good hits, where regardless of how predictable they are succeed in being full of charm, warmth and heart so succeeding in being light-hearted and undemanding fun. But also some quite big misses, where the characters are not likeable, everything is forced and shallow with implausibility too in some of the worst cases, the acting and writing being weak and basically with just nothing to them. Despite being a long way from perfect or being a complete hit, 'Snowbound for Christmas' is thankfully closer to the former category. Certainly not a film to humbug on. As far as the 2019 Christmas output as part of my Christmas film completest sake goes, 'Snowbound for Christmas' is in the high middle category. Was not expecting a lot admittedly, as there is very little originality in the plot idea and setting, but it turned out to be better than expected. 'Snowbound for Christmas' main asset is most of the cast. Zarin Darnell-Martin and Henderson Wade are very likeable and engaging leads and their chemistry is very easy going and not hard to relate to. Franco Lo Presti and especially Scott Thompson amuse in support. The chemistry never comes over as disconnected or ill at ease. Most of the production values slick and not drab and the music generally has a pleasant nostalgia. There are a fair share of amusing moments that never felt overdone and an equal amount of never too over-sentimental serious ones. The writing is a long way from perfect, but compared to some Christmas films seen recently it's acceptable, here not heavy or not going overboard on the cheese. Enough of the story is very charming and heart-warming and even if the characters are not meaty they were characters to me that were worth caring for on the whole. However, the character of Diana came over as an annoying caricature, one that Josephine Buettner overplays. Some of the photography is on the blurry side. Also there is no doubt, with it being the case with all Christmas films made by either Hallmark, Lifetime, UpTV etc and being a long way from being a novel premise, that the story is very predictable and quite safe throughout, so there are major plot points and developments that can be seen from a long way away. The ending is easily foreseeable in particular. Overall, quite decent. 7/10.

I never wrote reviews and I had to create an account for this one. This movie gives me tie hope that I can be an actor or a writer. I love Christmas and holiday movies so I am not against a cheesy or predicative storyline and ending, but the acting was horrific! The casting was lazy and not believable at all. I could go on and on but I will not. I have to believe this was this directors' first movie, do not waste your time with this one.

The only good actor is the male lead. The female lead is not very good at all. The guy who plays the hotel manager is HORRIBLE. Not worth the time to watch this piece of garbage movie.
