Predictable Hallmark Christmas movie script, dreadful dialogue, awful acting. Absolutely the worst movie I've sat through this year, and quite a lot of that was on fast forward.
Lindsay Lohan was cute in the Parent Trap and OK in the Herbie movies and Mean Girls. Apart from those few, the rest of her career has been 'mixed'. The truth is that while she showed promise as a child actor, she never developed into an even halfway decent actress, and boy does it show in this movie. Honestly one of the unknown Hallmark holiday actresses would have done a much better job.
And talking of child actors, the little girl in this one is suitably cute, but she was clearly being directed to smile BIG in every scene and deliver every line in the bounciest upbeat style possible.
The two good things in the movie were the lead actor Chord Overstreet who did a good job with the material he had to work with and certainly deserves another chance in something better than this. The set design was the second thing that was lovely. Very Christmassy. But if the struggling ski lodge had half the number of Christmas trees and decorations, they probably wouldn't have been in financial difficulties in the first place. Just saying.
