Frozen in Love

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.

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.

I really enjoyed this movie. The initial conflict was totally relatable and understandable, and their slow appreciation for each other was genuine and well acted. The ending was great! I also can't help but love any movie set around a bookstore.

Hallmark has made clear two things: that Niall Matter can indeed skate on ice and that Rachel Leigh Cook remains as a strong leading lady.

While I was excited to watch this movie, I finished it a little disappointed. I thought the storyline was great -kudos to Rachel who was part of the creation of the story- I mean, there was a bookstore involved! Mary was an extremely relatable character and Adam was different to all the sweet/charming guys Niall Matter plays. However, I read in social media that the chemistry was crazy good. I'm sorry to say I didn't see it that way. They obviously got along great but it was not the same chemistry Rachel has with Brendan Penny of Niall with Erin Krakow. Yet, their job portraying their characters was good.

My favorite part about the movie was definitely the storyline/plot, which was pretty original compared to others, and Rachel's performance. You do want to watch this.

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.
