Jen has always made great movies, but oh how frantic can one girl be. Whining, afraid, unsure... She never stops. It just isn't pleasent or enjoyable to watch her being so manic. We want to take a break and enjoy a movie, not get anxiety from watching.

This would have been a much better movie had Amy Groening been the lead instead of Jen Lilly. Far more energy and charisma. I thought the male leads were fine but their parts were written a bit stilted.

What shocked me is that Hallmark actually let characters be from some place in Canada, a first in my experience.

Banff was the real winner here as people glimpsed at least a very small taste of why it is so popular.

Give Amy some lead roles. Jen looked pale and a shadow of herself and maybe she is just done for this format of movies.

Some reviews were so harsh. Yes, Jen Lilly was whining and whining, but that was her part. She is only comfortable in Manhattan and isn't very adventurous at all.... Chris McNally's role was that he was nervous and tried too hard to be entertaining. You find out that so much was riding on his success as a tour guide. I like him in any role I've seen him play. The movie was a departure from the formula of a festival, old friend showing up etc. The supporting actors were good in their roles also. Light fun and escape.

Pretty Manhattanites, neurotic writer Kate (Jen Lilley), and her more gregarious photographer friend Jayne (Amy Groening) are on assignment to picturesque Band to interview a reclusive author. Upon arrival in this snowpeaked paradise the inevitably cutsey love-matching is above average. The likeable performances are engaging, with an enjoyably effervescent text, and the dazzling winter wonderland backdrop of beautiful Banf provide wonderful distractions. It's somewhat unusual for a glossy Hallmark rom-com to be almost entirely cheese free, Snowkissed feels far less synthetic, as there's a tangibly unforced charm to these handsome couples amorous coupling. I enjoy the sugary, glutinous sentimentality of Hallmark fare, but Snowkissed's life affirming positivity is edifying. The dazzling natural splendour of Banf is no small part of the film's appeal, and Kate and Noah's (Chris McNally) grand gesture is quite lovely!

The constant refrain from Jen Lilley's character about being from Manhattan and how she doesn't see the point of experiencing anything else is really tiresome and I'm only halfway through the movie

Update: I initially a gave this movie 4 rating, but I have it another chance because I like the actors so much. It really grew on me. Once I realized Jen Lilley's character is supposed to be that way, I found the whole thing fubny.

Original: The scenery was beautiful. I really was looking forward to this movie since I really like Jen Lilley and Chris McNally and the commercias were good. The Jen Lilley character was so whiny. Amy Groening and Rodrigo Beifuss were the best part of the movie.

I typically like Jen Lilley films, but her character in Snowkissed is so flaky and whiney. I just wished her "cool, normal" friend would just slap her and tell her to shut up! Hard to even get through the first 15 minutes of the film. The lead male actor is forgettable. I'd rather watch the best friend and the supporting male character. They were much more interesting than the leads.

This is absolutely a typical Hallmark movie so the poor reviews annoy me. Yes, Kate's character at the beginning is completely annoying. That's the point. It's called character growth. We want to not like her and then see how Noah changes her.

The best friend, Jane, is absolutely wonderful. Well written and well acted. Well done Amy Groening.

I love this movie. The best Hallmark movies get better with age because they cover you like a warm blanket on a cold night with comfort. And it's good with a glass of wine.

This is one of those films where one can't help but wonder how it ever got past the drawing board. For a cast that's shown themselves to be much more talented than what this movie's giving them, I actually feel a bit bad that they had to act in this catastrophe and try to make something out of it.

The film's weakest point is easily Jen Lilley's character, Kate, who everyone in the reviews (rightfully) is incredibly annoyed by. She is unbelievably neurotic and overanalyzes every possible human task, and at first, I was intrigued by these traits, because most Hallmark female leads don't have a personality outside of "driven businesswoman," which is the default template of a woman through which every lead gets recycled. I applaud (but not energetically) Hallmark for trying to make their characters be less two-dimensional, but they failed extraordinarily in this venture by making Kate so overwhelmingly obnoxious in her constant anxiety. To make matters worse, she's not actually consistent in this anxiety. She's afraid of driving in a car in Canada, but has no problem getting in a taxi in New York. She fears everything, but gives her love interest Noah lessons on getting over his stage fright.

Some of the reviewers were charmed by the side couple, photographer Jayne and right-hand-businessman Simon, but I found them so out of the realm of realistic that I couldn't enjoy them either. As much as I love and appreciate a woman who makes the first move, she pursues Simon -- a man who gives her flirtations absolutely no reaction -- to a point where it's cringeworthy, until Simon, suddenly and miraculously, returns her feelings and makes it clear by buying out what looks like all the inventory of a flower shop. Cut to the next scene, they're cuddling in each other's arms and giving each other goodbye kisses. Simon himself attests to being a man of few words, but Jayne is somehow convinced that they'll make a long distance relationship work. Their entire relationship is so ludicrous that it was hard to take it seriously.

Also breaking the suspension of disbelief is male lead Noah, who wants to save his B&B business by becoming a tour guide. He is so laughably bad (and also laughably oblivious about being so bad) that it's hard to believe that he and Simon are hinging the success of their entire business on Noah's adventure tour. He obsesses over perfecting his script, never once considering that he might -- like all tour guides -- need to actually learn the information instead of just memorize and regurgitate it.

Needless to say, he and Kate -- inexplicably -- begin to fall for each other. Their chemistry is completely lost in the absurdity of this movie. Not helping their cause is the rocky beginning this couple has, having an awkward first meeting at the airport and, thereafter, uncomfortable scenes in which they do little but disagree. Kate pounds on the fact that she's from New York, the best city in the world, and is so stubborn in this short-sighted opinion that it's hard not to get bored of her repeating it every other scene. How Hallmark thought a grown woman who can't handle a car ride, is too afraid to order coffee in a foreign country, and is too closed-minded to think happiness exists outside of Manhattan, would be a likable character is beyond me. Her and all the other ridiculous choices made in the story made this movie downright bad.

All in all, I'd recommend skipping this movie and choosing another from Hallmark's winter line-up this year. Two stars for beautiful Canadian scenery.

How much whining can Jen Lilley do in the first 10 minutes. This was awful. Writing really bad,. The lead male actor comes across as a moron. The only pleasant part was the red headed assistant and the scenery of Banff.

So glad my 2 favorite actors are finally doing a movie together! Now I want more. They had great chemistry. Loved Snowkissed.

Her character is awful, such a whiny know it all and rude. This movie isn't fun.

Let's see...Jen Lilley is really annoying, and the lead male (so forgettable) is a dolt. No chemistry. The inevitable gal pal (Groening) is watchable and approachable. If only she were the lead. It also seems the good people of Alberta are trying to get in on the Hallmark action. This is the second recent Hallmark film explicitly set in Banff. So we no longer need to hide the Canadian flags or pretend that Vancouver looks just like Miami. And the tourism marketing by those Albertans is not subtle. I guess everyone needs to eat. And how does a late-30s freelance writer (Lilley) afford that fabulous NYC apartment??

Do we really have to have a "NewYorker " to come to our wonderful places to give us a lesson about it?! Is it not enough to take them in real life, do we have to watch a movie about it? We are smart, intelligent nation, not full of with hillbillies .Probably you understand why I do not like this movie from the beginning.

Ok, I admit I found the character of Kate very annoying...at the beginning. But thankfully Kate has to change and adjust through the course of the movie. Loved the other three main characters from the beginning. I'd actually like to see Chris McNally and Jen Lilley in another Hallmark collaboration, but maybe where the female isn't so "NY City uptight" at the beginning. LOVED the Banff scenery!

Alberta has amazing mountain scenery, but Banff does not have the Calgary hotel, which was seen peaking behind the hotel they went to tour (and not the famous Banff Springs). The early film had the group driving from Calgary to Banff a rather bumpy road. What I do know is the highway to Banff is anything but bumpy. It's too bad the film makers can't get facts right.

I gave this movie a 7 mainly because I loved the chemistry between the two lead actors and the gorgeous scenery. The story? Wash, Rinse, and Repeat of way too many Hallmark movies we have already seen.

As someone who has lived in Alberta my whole life, watching this movie just made me mad. if you are going to incorporate a famous town (Banff) into your story, get your facts straight. It does not take 3 hours to go from Calgary to Banff, and the highway is as good as you'll find anywhere. Why not use the world famous Banff Springs hotel instead of using a hotel in Winnipeg that is clearly in a city not a small town? And when the 4 leads are out hiking and a direction sign is prominently shown, I looked up the location and it is in Ontario, nowhere near Banff. Why would you do that? They should have just used a fictional town like they usually do, instead of saying they are in a world famous town when they are not. A lot of people are familiar with Banff, and I'm sure I am not the only person annoyed with the misinformation presented. And while I usually enjoy Jen Lilley, I did not like her or anyone else in this movie. Thumbs down.
