A Brilliant Conflict
It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
First of all, what is the fascination with ice sculpting? The plot in this thrown together movie is thin at best. I mean, talk about "first- world" problems!! A rich, pretty and educated woman doesn't want to be a lawyer? Come on. I want to be an ice-scupltor? I'm not sure that's a year-round job, especially in that small town.Oh, and did I forget the romance? That's OK. So did the script. The two leads have no chance of creating chemistry with this garbage. Kudos to Wendy Crewson, who seemed to have all of the good dramatic parts.I enjoyed seeing the Canadian locations as a backdrop. Delete, delete, delete.
Enough about Ice Sculpting already!! Let me say that Damon Runyan is a real professional to try and power through this one. He was trying his best...but there is no chemistry in this movie at all. Let's face it Taylor Cole is not suited for the Christmas movie genre. I kept hoping for more screen time for Teagan Vincze.Right...."Mom, I don't want to be a lawyer; I want to be an ice sculptor"...Stupid. It's a small town! How would they not know each other? Dumb. If Mom had been in a car crash on the way home, now that would have been a plot turn.Take out everything about Ice Sculpting and Emma and it's a good movie..
I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 400 Christmas MOVIES.BEWARE OF BOGUS REVIEWS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW. WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE PRODUCTION. NOW I HAVE NO AGENDA! I AM HONEST! I REVIEW Christmas MOVIES AS A WAY TO KEEP TRACK OF WHAT I HAVE SEEN!In this filmThose years of law school pay off for Emma but not in ways one would expect. When she finds out that her beloved ice-sculpting contest, part of her hometown's Christmas festival, has been canceled, she springs into action. Determined to keep it going.This film takes place at Christmas but in reality the film is about "Making Choices" and "Figuring out what you really want in life". Not the typical ending you might expect but I fully enjoyed this film!
Ya know, some of the dialogue was just fine. I've seen worse Hallmark Christmas movies but I will say the last minutes of this movie had me screaming at the state of incredulity! Perhaps not the right word but come on people! Giving up a Law Career for Ice Sculpture? OMG! Maybe if our lead 'Romantic' was eighteen years old and a very big maybe.So the movie plods along with some fair acting and a rather slow pace, but again I'll take it. Move along to the great romantic ending... There was no great romantic ending. There was a hug and barely a kiss? and the decision to give up working as a lawyer- having passed the Bar Three years ofschool and no, she wants to Ice Sculpt? WHAT? LOL, SIGH and, scene. So, seems like there 'might' be some romance and two unemployed people by seasons end. The End. And I love Hallmark movies! OY!
