A Frosty Affair

the story is so well known than could be boring for many viewers. but it is not correct to ignore a small detail : it has a precise target. a sort of public, a sort of state. so, it is only the nice story of a meet between a woman and a man, different each by other, about a wedding plan and about the predictable end. crumbs from classic duel like Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn , the spectacular bear and the man of wood are inspired ingredients for a not low rating.the lead actors do a honorable job and the story reminds so many other classics than nothing could seems be real bad. and this is the real virtue of a nice comedy who has not the ambition to impress but only to be reasonable entertainment.

(Some spoilers but nothing major) When you sit down for a movie like this, you know what to expect. Saccharine sweetness that makes you want to roll your eyes but sometimes these movies surprise you so, like me, you remain ever hopeful. Unfortunately the biggest problem in this movie is Kate. Annoying Kate who thinks she knows everything. Invites herself to go on this journey with Redford and then is absolutely NOT helpful at all. Nearly sets the barn on fire, attracts a bear to their belongings because of course she doesn't listen to him. She can do it all, but does she help carry anything along the way? Nope. Does she listen to him about the ice? Not even a little bit.

This movie would have been tolerable if Kate had been a better person.

It is what it is - unrealistic, overplayed (clearly a director's choice of tone) and a waste of talent. Jewel Staite and Shaun Johnston can handle meatier roles. But Shawn Roberts is definitely gorgeous. The Canadian landscape is also pretty remarkable. This is typical RomCom fare these days. I give this film a 6 (fait) out of 10. {RomCom}

Bad script, bad acting but a great scene with a bear.

I really wanted to like this. I mean, it's obviously just a sappy romance movie, but it could've been better-executed. She was too shallow to believe he could possibly fall for her, and he was an underdeveloped character. There were too many rescues throughout the movie, and yet the movie needs rescuing.
