Coup de foudre sous la neige

I liked the movie, though I don't understand why Taylor Cole's character is so snooty in the first half.

The best friends were enjoyable to watch as a couple. They should have gotten more screen time.

It was nice that it wasn't just a romance. Three of the leads make decisions about their careers. It's a movie about the freedom to your wings.

Started out funny and ended fantastic!!!! I loved this movie and it's one of the better Hallmark movies I've seen

It was nice to see a little more diversity on display in a Hallmark film, with there being almost two love stories playing out here.

If I were being cynical though I would say that the black couple do come across more as the supporting pair though.

I thought this was a fun film on the whole, with some nice little deviations from the standard Hallmark format.

There is a sequel I believe too.

The story is complex and contrived. A lot of points don't make sense which is normal for these movies, but in this case they were too much for me. How does the CEO of a company only get half the chalet, but get a $500 gift basket also? Some of the bosses in these movies are slave drivers, but this one, while not mean, is ridiculous. Apparently she doesn't sleep and works 24 hours even on weekends. The premise that Ben's dating life affects his company's bottom line also sounds a little ridiculous. As a sub-plot, the idea that Megan's wrist injury means she can't use a phone at all is also silly. There are just too many silly and contrived plotlines.

Taylor Cole and Jack Turner do connect establishing a comfortable relationship, outside of the secrets. Still Jack Turner is a little reserved. Rukiya Bernard looks like someone to watch for as a possible lead in future Hallmark movies. She connects with Dewshane Williams to form a much more realistic relationship than Cara and Ben's. Both of these relationships are pleasant enough to watch in and of themselves until the silly plot messes up at least the one.

I agree with the previous review that this movie was just OK. I also agree that the winter cinematography was exceptional. I like the way cinematographers are utilizing drones lately, especially in winter scenes. Jack Turner looks a lot like Noah Wyle. He is new to acting and his acting is OK, but not memorable yet. With more experience it should improve.

One stand-out is very pretty and talented Rukiya Bernard. I hope Hallmark taps her for a movie of her own in the future. I also thought that Bea Santos was the prettiest actress in the movie. I see she had the lead in Christmas Encore which I enjoyed much more. At least Hallmark did not have the recent "rinky-dink" music they have been using.
