Des fiançailles sous la neige

I would have enjoyed this movie more if I just saw One Winter Weekend. I watched that movie a month ago. I just started watching Hallmark movies for the first time around two months ago, I've been addicted. So I have seen to many movies in between. I recommend watching this movie back to back. It will be more meaningful. It's a little slow but still worth watching.

I don't remember too much about the first one in this little (eventual, I'm sure) trilogy, but I see I gave it a 5. So this one must be a lot better. I am not usually a Taylor Cole fan, but she was perfectly pleasant in this one. Her relationship with her boyfriend was free of stupid misunderstandings and silly juvenile behavior. I liked their sub-plots of her new mystery book and his fledgling snowboard company.

But, hold the phone, the star of this show was Rukiya Bernard as Megan, her best friend! What a cutie! She was so charming and charismatic I couldn't take my eyes off her! Not a false note in her acting. And Dewshane Williams as her love interest was a worthy match. I liked the chemistry between the 2 couples with each other and the other two in the foursome. I will certainly tune in to the inevitable One Winter Wedding.

It's Hallmark... it's pretty typical but sometimes it just doesn't work.. in my opinion, this movie worked! I loved it. I especially loved the REAL snow and snowflakes, the scenery was beautiful. I watched the two movies back to back this evening as I hadn't seen the first. I must say, I thought the chemistry between couples was very believable and the way they interacted with each other seemed to flow nicely. Of course TC is stunning and RB is so adorable, her laugh is contagious! I'm sorry to say I am not familiar with both male leads but I will say, I thought they did a fantastic job. Finally a movie without a princess or prince, cmon Hallmark, stop already with those and give us more like this! Listen to us, we're the ones watching and even though I'm 54, I still enjoy a beautiful love story!! This movie reminded me of my early adult life, falling in love, having fun with friends in the mountains, juggling work and play. It brought back lovely memories... just what it was supposed to do, lol at least for us 50 and over types! Well done to cast and crew, you rocked this movie.

Yep, that's it. Pleasant. It's a nice story. No surprises. If you didn't see Sean's secret weapon, then you haven't watched enough Hallmark movies.

The gang of four from last year's movie connect on all four cylinders. The couples have chemistry with each other and with opposite couple.

If I didn't like it already, putting Thousand Years behind the closing scene didn't hurt.

This was a lovely sequel to the first film and although the first film is still my favourite I just absolutely fell in love with a certain scene that everyone is waiting to see throughout the film. Cara and Ben have been going strong for a year to the point where he is ready to pop the question. Megan's career has taken off to the point where she and Sean have drifted apart and she has kinda transformed into a workaholic, but soon they reconnect and reignite their spark. I think this film did a better job of balancing out the couples screen time compared to the first film as much of the first focused on Cara and Ben and not much on Megan and Sean, but this was much better with both couples getting an equal amount of screen time together and focus on their love stories. It impresses me on how much some of the characters have really changed over the last year, showing a LOT of character development and continue to grow throughout the film. Plus one of my favourite moments is when one of my favourite songs, A Thousand Years is played during a significant moment that will make your hearts melt.

Overall, I think Hallmark has done it again and created another classic Christmas romantic comedy film.
