Boule de neige

The film itself is great, I watch it every year with my family. The storyline is magical, and it's very funny. Some scenes are unoriginal though, and you can tell they borrowed ideas from other holiday movies. Nonetheless, Josh Cooke is great in this film, and it is a good holiday film.

Overall, 6/10.

Unlike her family, Angela loves Christmas. When he receives a snow globe in the mail, he inexplicably ends up inside it. Soon he finds a way to get in and out of there whenever he wants. But the time has come to make a drastic decision to keep the magic in your life.

Very cliché and unpleasant forcing a 25-year-old woman to get married and have children, is that a traditional family? Jeez, it's even worse, right... Many things bother me in this "cute" Disney movie, at a certain point the protagonist wants her family to let her breathe, that she is so close to fulfilling her dreams, and suddenly everything goes wrong, she reports a lot of frustration, I feel empathy, it's more than a Christmas movie, it's about being yourself, your priority, always...

When I read what this movie was about, it sounded silly, absurd and dishonest. Which of course it is, too! But then when I watched it, I was still seduced by it. Because it recaptured that Christmas magic that one could feel when one was a child, and still able to see a whole world in a snow-globe or a Christmas tree ball made of glass... A wonderful movie to help you get into the Christmas spirit! Also, the fact that Angela's real life is taking place in a big city in present times, and in a slightly dysfunctional modern family, makes it easier to identify with her.

I loved the innocent and healthy snow-globe world..! There were so many perfect images of Christmas in there, that I had to stop the movie several times just to watch them closely! I got some ideas for Christmas decoration next year as well! :-) ...but of course I also understood the message about stop looking for the perfect things that do not exist, and that you probably would get bored with quickly even if you could find them. And to be happy with what you have got in reality instead. Life does not have to be perfect to be wonderful! This is a wonderful Christmas movie to watch with your family. Both children, teenagers and adults will find something to love in it!

Where do I start? The stilted acting? The constant grouching and bickering? The inconsistent relationship between the family members?

There were some really good/funny parts, but too many moments that weren't. I don't think the writers could decide if this movie was a fantasy or a comedy/drama.

The only definite is the fact that it was released for Christmas- other than that, it seemed to bounce from dysfunctional family story, to romantic comedy to Christmas fantasy.

I really wouldn't encourage anyone to watch it. There are plenty of other sound, well-written and enjoyable Holiday movies to watch.

Really good Christmas film. For a free TV film, you will not get too much better. It keeps you interested, has good characters and the best thing is that a couple of times, the plot takes a turn that you may not be expecting.

The snow globe world is adorable and a little underused. It is a brilliant idea and enjoyable and well portrayed.

The gift of the globe did not seem to be fully explained and I didn't always feel that any of the relationships were well suited.

But it is well worth a watch.

6/10
