Winter Castle

Absolutely breathtaking location! Emilie and Kevin are good together. It's a shame that more information about Lana's relationship to Kevin wasn't given.

Jenny, (Emilie Ullerup), is a children's book editor, with dreams of being an author. Her sister, Meg, (Melanie Mullen), is getting married at the majestic and magical Winter Castle Hotel! Meg, tries to set Jenny up with her husband's best man, Craig, (Kevin McGarry), a widower, with a daughter. However, Craig has brought a "plus one" to the wedding, a friend, Lana, (Megan Heffren), who has been a big help to him and his daughter after his wife died. Both Jenny and Lana show an interest in Craig. You can tell Craig has started to have feelings for Jenny, but he also has feelings and an obligation to Lana for all the support she's given to both him and his daughter---there the dilemma lies.

Emilie Ullerup brings a sparkling personality and adventurous spirit to her role as Jenny, perfect casting. Kevin McGarry is usually one of my Hallmark male favorites, however, I'm disappointed to say he brings a bit of a wooden performance to his role as Craig. Craig makes a decision, but the ending seems a bit lackluster and unfinished after all the buildup. The Winter Castle Hotel is spectacular as is the winter scenery. Overall a decent romcom but nothing spectacular.

Always love Kevin McGarry. The daughter was precious. Great singing by supporting actress. Emily was a very perky person!

Ok I should really centre my review on whether a film has subtitles or not, but it so helps, Soundtracks can be somewhat fuzzy with the speech...so having subtitles when you're hard of hearing is a great bonus. I thought the film was quite sweet, but it was lacking some of the magic between couples.

The movie centers on a destination wedding in an ice hotel. Unfortunately the highlight of the movie was the awesome views of the hotel, but the all white background even got old.

Jenny (Emilie Ullerup) is the bridesmaid for her sister's wedding, and a romance develops between the best man Craig (Kevin McGarry). The chemistry between the leads, and the supporting actors is non convincing.

Rating: 2-Star - PASS (one watch is enough)
