Un hiver romantique

Lacey Chabert is my Queen of Hallmark and I think Tyler Hynes is one of the best male leads these films have, so to see them paired together excited me from the off.

This was a fab Hallmark film, with some lovely messages and moments. The two leads have good chemistry, making for an enjoyable 80+ minutes overall.

Lacey Chabert and Tyler Hynes were good together. It was a cute story - just the location was off! First of all, most of it was filmed in the Calgary area - not Vail, CO. And does anyone REALLY believe that Vail Village needs help? Has anyone ever been there during ski season OR during the summer? Vail Village is just fine. No need to "revitalize" it OR bring more people there. Instead of using an already established resort town, Hallmark might want to make a town up (like they did with Garrison, AK in Christmas Under Wraps.. yes - the fictitious restaurant could still need help. Just don't use an already existing bustling resort town!

I'm always skeptical when watching a Lacey Chabert movie, entirely too much giggling & broad smiles for my liking. I agree with a previous reviewer, she toned that down for this role. The actors were in sync and the script was not bad. Good movie to kick off 2020.

Really enjoyed the acting-wasn't "sappy-sweet" or "high-school-playish" like a lot of Hallmark movies. The actors were all believable, the story-line held my interest, and the photography was beautiful.

When a hard-working L.A. event planner unexpectedly inherits a chalet in Vail, she reevaluates her life, quits her job, and moves to the resort town. Lacey Chabert plays Chelsea---who suddenly uproots her life---with her usual charm. She meets Owen (Tyler Hynes) there. He's a soft-spoken contractor who lives by Vail's more relaxed pace. Together they attempt to revive a portion of Vail and the restaurant run by Owen's father.

Though its story line is mostly about following one's dreams, the film's romance is its most captivating aspect, thanks in large part to the appeal of Tyler Hynes. His portrayal of Owen feels genuine. This is not a film about wooing; their relationship grows organically from their mutual respect and their recognition of each other's caring nature.

The self-fulfillment theme also works without simplifying the hard decisions that can accompany a choice between life goals and passion. This is one of the better Hallmark romances.
