It's a drama with a couple of funny elements. The only thing really funny was the bus driver and the luggage.
Acting was fine, despite how some of the reviews have type cast the main actors
I enjoy watching hall mark style movies from time to time. Nice to get away from rancid language, drugs, pot, violence, sex for a change
This movie does one thing that is different, in every Christmas movie I have seen the antagonist character is caucasian male (more acting jobs for that demographic), THIS christmas movie was not on that PC band wagon.

There are many failings of this move. The character development is shallow, the action is lacklustre, the plot is fairly unbelievable, and yet this movie has a certain charm to it. I think the heroine is quite charming, and one can not help but notice her "voluptuous curves" which are front and centre in many scenes. If you've got it flaunt it I say...
So with so many failings what gives this movie its charm? I think it is the sets and the lighting which I thought were very atmospheric. The charming Cafe, the wonderful guest house, the snowy streets were all very evocative of Christmas time.
It was a pleasure to see Andie MacDowell - I'd not seen her in anything since Four Weddings and a Funeral and that was a looonngg time ago. Yes she has aged but then haven't we all!
If you are wondering whether to watch this or not - go for it - just for the heartwarming Christmas atmosphere.

OK we watch these movies for a reason, but I apologize if I say that the male lead didn't act and look like a serial killer. Could be with me watching too much CSI and documentaries but oh lort! The resolution is what you probably will expect it to be. But the lack of chemistry between two leads is lacking to say the least. Watched the whole film but would never watch again.
This is a great Christmas movie to watch with your whole family. It has the cliché's of a Christmas movie, and it' s very cheasy sometimes, like you expect and want from a family Christmas movie.
The story is predictable, but enjoyable, and you can just watch without thinking about anything. The acting is good, nothing outstanding, Eliza Taylor did great in my opinion, it's nice to see her in a whole different genre than the 100. The rest of the cast is good to.
I don't really understand the 5.7 rating here on IMDB. What did everyone expect when they watched this movie? It's exactly what I expected it to be, and that's why I watched it. If this isn't your thing, don't watch it. You know what to expect when you watch a movie like this.
So if you wanted to watch this movie because you wanted a cheasy family Christmas movie, watch it. Don't let the bad reviews stop you from doing so. They're ridiculous in my opinion.

I liked the movie, HOWEVER.... did anyone else feel like Jake has violent and abusive tendencies? Kind of weird... Takes away from the movie a bit.

- TriviaThe set for Snow Falls required a lot of snow for the setting of the film. Because it was filmed in the spring, the crew had to use shaving cream to simulate snow.
- GoofsWhen Ellen gets to Snow Falls the driver takes her bags out. She moves the two blue bags but leaves the white one while she tells the driver Merry Christmas. But before the guy hits it with the tree you'll notice the bag has been turned more towards the road.
