Falling Like Snowflakes

The makers of this movie probably have never seen a real snowstorm. If they want to see what a real snow storm looks like they should come to Minnesota. It's hard to enjoy the movie when the special effects are so bad. How can they be in a major snowstorm and there's no snow in the road but one of the main premises of the movie was them going into a severe snowstorm. For someone that has lived through many severe snowstorms this just wasn't believable.

It would have been an enjoyable movie if not for such unbelievable special effects. Hopefully Hallmark can do better which would make the story much more enjoyable.

This had to be one of the stupidest premises for a Hallmark movie ever! Who in their right mind would ever believe this story? The acting was horrible, the snowstorm special effects weren't even believable, with the sun shining during the snowstorms, with all of the highways being mysteriously devoid of any snow at all. The writers of this monstrosity obviously did some serious drinking before they hatched this abomination, and I'm surprised that Hallmark even wasted their time filming it. I hope that they will reconsider ever showing this again, but I'm sure that they will unfortunately keep doing so.

Rebecca Dalton has had at least one real bomb but also a couple I enjoyed. Her appearance makes me think she is a model, but I can't find that in her bio. For me she is strikingly beautiful. I won't say that she is a great actress. Marcus Rosner is a veteran for Hallmark, but I have never thought he stood out.

Put them together in a movie that follows the usual lines and you get a middle of the road product which some will love and others not so much.

I will say the snowflake angle is a new one. I looked it up and found one article saying there are at least 30 types. Hmm.

The writers try to liven the story by having another photographer compete with Teagan to have an entry in the auction that one benefactor has already promised big bucks for if the lot includes that rare 12 sided snowflake. This might have added to the story if the competitor hadn't been so obviously inept. Her shady side must have been the intended hook, but just irritated me.

5.8 stars.

Turned out to be a pretty dismal experience. I thought this might have potential for a while, but the script is lazy and the leads have no chemistry and the story is mundane. And I haven't even touched on the production itself. It's shoddily made and even the music is a bit silly for me.

This is a very mild snow caper where two friends are searching for a rare flake. Add to this a nefarious photographer trying to get the perfect photo before the lead female. It becomes silly and awkward. There is no thrill or drama or romance, and as a result, no coherence.

I checked out around 70 minutes and the rest of the movie played in the background as I did other stuff.

Not good.

The previews definitely didn't thrill me, but I've been proven wrong before. However, that didn't happen with this one.

The actress is not a favorite of mine. Every movie she is in I don't enjoy her character or acting. This movie wasn't any different.

The actor, I don't mind, but they had zero chemistry, and the storyline is just ridiculous. Many aspects of this movie were irritating. The so-called villain rival photographer, the lack of snowstorm equipment, and the forgotten camera hurt my head.

This is not a rewatch for me, and it really was tough to get through the first time.
