For instance When "It's a POSITIVE" chances are that the reviewer was involved with the production. Review Date I Have Reviewed OVER 500 "Christmas Films and Specials". Furthermore, the ending is on the too easy and corny side and maybe some of the music could have had more personality. As said though, the story is very formulaic and the film is not for those that dislike cliche overload, with most of the characters and situations as cliched as they come it does make things very predictable. There is nothing mean-spirited about it and it is genuinely moving without going overboard on the sentimentality. The story is formulaic, but is also immensely charming and heart-warming. While the dialogue is not what one would call amazing, it is not as cheesy or as forced as a lot of festive films or films with similar story types. Am not usually a fan of Alan Thicke, but this is one of his better performances where he manages to make something heartfelt out of a potentially annoying character. Their chemistry is genuine and always at ease. Jesse Hutch's character isn't as interesting but is an amiable and subtly charming presence too. Candace Cameron Bure is a big reason as to why 'Let it Snow' works, she has a likeable character worth identifying with and Bure is just beguiling. They also had personality traits that appealed and any negative traits were not exaggerated, which can be a common problem with female lead characters particularly in Hallmark's Christmas output. The leads were easier to connect to than expected. While the characters are not meaty or original, none of them annoyed me and nor did they bore me. That isn't so big a problem here generally. A lot of Hallmark's Christmas films suffer from being over-scored, meaning being too constantly used and too loud. It is very professionally filmed and the locations are simply beautiful. Which is an inoffensive if uneven and hardly unique watch and not a cinematic classic or milestone. 'Let it Snow' was a pleasant watch and is really not bad when taken for what it is and judged for what it's meant to be. It is light years away from being a masterpiece or flawless and will admit to considering bailing early on, but stick with it as it does get better. 'Let it Snow' is to me among Hallmark's better festive efforts and certainly for that year. Have been on a roll for the past couple of years watching and reviewing as many Hallmark and Lifetime Christmas films every now and again and it has been interesting despite the quality being uneven. Some though are above average level, and there are some surprisingly enjoyable ones amongst the average and less films that there is in a good deal of in their output. It's a better than average Christmas TV movie that will make you smile.Īs has been said quite a few times, Hallmark's Christmas output is very hit and miss. It has humor, romance, and heartwarming family moments. The story is predictable but who cares really? This isn't challenging stuff but it is enjoyable. The Canadian scenery (subbing for Maine) is lovely. Oh, and just to preserve it for posterity in case someone changes it: Jesse Hutch's IMDb bio currently brags that he shares a birthplace with fictional comic book character Wolverine and tells a rather odd anecdote about him faking a hostage situation at his high school. It's pretty much impossible to dislike them. Dan Willmott and Gabrielle Rose are his salt of the earth parents. I wouldn't mind seeing him in more starring roles. He does well and has nice chemistry with Candace. This is one of the bigger roles I've seem him in. He's been a guest-star on just about everything that films in Canada. Jesse Hutch is an actor whose face is very recognizable if you watch much TV, even if you can't remember where exactly you've seen him before. The fact that Thicke used to play Candace's brother Kirk's father on Growing Pains no doubt led to some back-patting for whoever cast him. Alan Thicke is good as her not-so-likable dad. She's the same here as she is in every role: pretty, charming, likable. I'm always down for a good Candace Cameron Bure TV movie, especially a Christmas one. If you think she'll fall for the handsome son (Jesse Hutch) and have a change of heart about Christmas, you must have seen a Hallmark movie before. Stephanie spends the week before Christmas with the family, experiencing the holiday their way. The plan is to turn the cozy rustic lodge into a ski resort, which is news to the family selling it. Stephanie (Candace Cameron Bure) is an executive with no Christmas spirit who's sent by her boss (and father) to look at a family-owned lodge their company has just acquired. ![]()
