L'Amour sous les flocons

According to Julia's boss she is lacking inspiration, the cheerfuless that she had when she first came into the city, so she sends her back home to make a story about the "charm of small towns". Once there she reunites with her family, her best friend Nate, and a few neighbours and friend.

I liked it. A lot. The maze was spectacular, that first air shot was beautiful. My first problem was Julia's parents. They are way too young. She clearly is not 20 years old. They always cast actors as parents and child who are probably around the same range of age. Julia and Nate were friends their whole lives. I love the "best friend to lover" trope, so they got me there. The actors had great chemistry. And not just the leads but the rest of the cast as well.

I'm not expecting much from Hallmark at this point: I mean, Julia's basket of fries was empty when she was in the maze and when she got out it was full. As far as they go, maybe they can do better but this was not bad at all. You had a plot, good chemistry and a make you feel good atmosphere (all I wanted was to be in comfy leggins and a fluffly sweater while watching this)

I don't care that we have literally seen it hundreds of times before, Nate going after Julia was so sweet. The whole scene was cute.

I'm not saying I will watch this again anytime soon, but I would definitely watch a sequel.

Love Jessy Schram, but there is no chemistry between her and Marshall Williams.

I am sure that if you haven't seen a thousand of this genre it would be enjoyable. The leads are experienced doing this type of film and relate well together.

I gave this movie a 5 and that only for the parents, sister and niece. They were real and easy to watch. BUT the main couple had no spark whatsoever. Dreadful casting. Like a pair of teenagers giggling their way through a weak script. I almost turned it off several times but kept hoping it would pick up. It didn't. Hallmark you must try harder. You seem to be losing 'IT'!

I like Jessy but Hallmark has to get rid of all the trite details: the snowball fight, the snow angels, the misunderstanding. All that was missing was the kiss interrupted by a cell phone. Cone on!
