Coup de foudre sous les flocons

This had to be one of the stupidest premises for a Hallmark movie ever! Who in their right mind would ever believe this story? The acting was horrible, the snowstorm special effects weren't even believable, with the sun shining during the snowstorms, with all of the highways being mysteriously devoid of any snow at all. The writers of this monstrosity obviously did some serious drinking before they hatched this abomination, and I'm surprised that Hallmark even wasted their time filming it. I hope that they will reconsider ever showing this again, but I'm sure that they will unfortunately keep doing so.

Yes, as many reviewers have noted, there is fake snow, a lot of it. However, it does land in the competing photographers hair as she's taking pictures.

I'm about halfway through the movie and purely from an entertainment angle, I'm enjoying it. Being in the south, I love seeing the snow, even if it's not real.

Rebecca Dalton is relatively new to me and the jury is still out on her abilities as a Hallmark actress. This is just an aside, but who on earth travels into a snow storm and packs sleeveless blouses? Marcus Rosner however has always been one of my favorite Hallmark actors. Julie, the daughter, seems much older than I would have thought and the friend looks familiar but I can't place her. The carolers were actually pretty good as well.

Again, currently at 3/4 through and still really enjoying the movie.

Hallmark movies of where two people get trap in a snowstorm where it always to be only two good looking people who are full of stereotypes. It's predictable and you know they will fall in love because it's a Hallmark movie, they have to fall in love or it's not a hallmark movie. You can help to roll your eyes on how they don't seem to like each other to only to started to like each other toward the end of the movie. Hallmark loves to make these predictable characters and movies on Christmas because they have certain audience who can't get enough of them. All Hallmark has to do is change the actors and actresses and mess around with the plot.

The makers of this movie probably have never seen a real snowstorm. If they want to see what a real snow storm looks like they should come to Minnesota. It's hard to enjoy the movie when the special effects are so bad. How can they be in a major snowstorm and there's no snow in the road but one of the main premises of the movie was them going into a severe snowstorm. For someone that has lived through many severe snowstorms this just wasn't believable.

It would have been an enjoyable movie if not for such unbelievable special effects. Hopefully Hallmark can do better which would make the story much more enjoyable.

Like in many other cases , the first temptation is to be ironic about this type of film. Sure, all is predictable and the acting is pretty decent and the snowflakes photos are just beautiful. But the portrait of rival, the girl and the snowstorm are not the most inspired ingredients.

So, for me the film is saved by supporting actors, especially John Nightingale and his costume, his carols band and , not last, the house of Wayne.

Sure, not high expectations but few charming scenes and the romance who, finally you must accept this, is the only matter thing.

So, the perfect snowflake story . And the generosity of a rich man as kick for seductive, agitated and succesful love story after some...adventures.
