Falling Like Snowflakes

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.

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.

"A snowflake never falls in the wrong place."-Teagan

Teagan is a teacher and photographer who has a Christmas photo exhibition at her friend's gallery of snowflakes...only it's not a complete set, she is missing the elusive twelve sided snowflake. The twelve pointed snowflake is created when the atmospheric conditions are just right and two six pointed snowflakes collide. When an art collector wants to buy the entire collection and fix up the community center, but only if it is a complete set, Teagan goes out into a storm in a snowplow with an old childhood boyfriend, Noah. Noah is now a widower and single dad.

It was fun to see the snowflakes, but I thought the whole character of Susan, the competitive photographer, was unnecessary and detracted from both the story and the romantic aspect. While I like the two main leads, I felt the romance in this film was rather weak and makes it not a recommendation to fellow romantics.

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.

5.8 stars.

Turned out to be a pretty dismal experience. I thought this might have potential for a while, but the script is lazy and the leads have no chemistry and the story is mundane. And I haven't even touched on the production itself. It's shoddily made and even the music is a bit silly for me.

This is a very mild snow caper where two friends are searching for a rare flake. Add to this a nefarious photographer trying to get the perfect photo before the lead female. It becomes silly and awkward. There is no thrill or drama or romance, and as a result, no coherence.

I checked out around 70 minutes and the rest of the movie played in the background as I did other stuff.
