Eingeschneit zu Weihnachten

This is another take on kids whose parents are unable to get home while another previously unacquainted couple teams up to take care of them. The story is uninspiring but cute while the characters run through the usual Christmas activities including the usual snow ball fight. There were a few musical montages - for me if there is more than one in a movie it seems like lazy writing.

This movie might have been fun if the lead couple had any chemistry. The au pair, who isn't credited on this site as of this writing, and kid's uncle, played by Jeremy Guilbaut only really connect on screen for about 1/3rd of the movie, or less, The uncle is too busy answering his phone for work for much of the first part and for much of the last part other things and people fill the screen time. As a family story it's fair, but as a romance it's poor.

7.7 stars.

There is not much going on in this film, it's got a singular setting, a house, and some nearby streets, and I think a shop or two, but it's very limited. It's also a wee bit slow and missing something, but otherwise this is a decent movie. She is a vision, probably the best all around beauty for Hallmark female leads. But only by a nose, however, there are a few out of this world amazing females. What this means for me is that watching her is a sublime experience no matter what the level of entertainment value, therefore this was a good time for me. The male lead seems a bit more difficult to figure out, not the drop dead gorgeous male lead, but I think he has a special something about him, and of course, he's certainly no slouch in the looks department. The acting is okay, the "miracles" that happen are probably a farce (really it's just because one of the characters has a lot of connections). No way they do what they do under the circumstances. I was curious about the shots of the house, they used two different houses to represent the same house, so maybe I missed something because I had difficulty making the connection. Was one of the houses his? You'll see one house has a garage, the other doesn't. Neither here nor there I suppose. Not much to say about this story it's very very plain, but a beauty and a tall glass of water pass the time pretty smoothly.

It could be better. It is the first conclusion about this decent Christmas movie out of real romance , nice for girls and for the fight of main actors against their roles. Some nice moments, few references to old fashion comedies, good use of cliches and Christmas.

And , sure, a too unrealistic love story and an end not very inspired but forced.

A good point - the supporting actors. And some gentle crumbs of humor.

The start point is so familiar than just seduce. And the two lead actors are so isolated than their work becomes amusing in effort of connection between characters. So, nothing good, nothing bad. Only.. . Christmas.

Do not look for anything stunning or surprising, here. Yet, when it comes to Christmas movies, predictability is a good thing. Yuletide is a time when sugar overloading becomes acceptable, if not desirable. If you want to spend your evening watching a yarn where characters are good, feelings are kind ad you are left warm inside, you do not want to be over critical. Just sit down with your pop corn basket and enjoy: this is one movie for you. The story is credible enough, the actors deliver well, the plot evolves without effort to the predictable, sweet end you expect. Thumbs up for Up Channel.

I thoroughly enjoyed Snowed in for Christmas. The story was sweet, and I liked the lead actors. I'm a fan of Jeremy Guilbaut. However, some other reviewers hated this movie, and I can't figure out why! Maybe they are Hallmark employees who hate that UPTV can put out an endearing and well-acted film. Give this movie a try.
