Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times The path of true love may not be smooth but it is predictable in Christmas in the Clouds, a wisp of a movie set in a Utah ski resort run by a Native American tribe. Rated: 2.5/5 Feb 16, 2006 Full Review Mark Holcomb Village Voice Kate Montgomery's agreeably schmaltzy rom-com tempers its near terminal folksiness with stereotype-tweaking irony. Feb 14, 2006 Full Review John Monaghan Detroit Free Press While you may have seen the story before, the offbeat characters and the movie location make you feel like you're treading new ground. Rated: 3/4 Feb 3, 2006 Full Review Josh Hurst Christianity Today The plot is just too pedestrian, the writing just too limp, and most of the characters just too boring for this to be anything more than a modestly entertaining diversion. Rated: 2/4 Sep 11, 2006 Full Review Maitland McDonagh TV Guide It's hard not to hope things work out for everyone, even though you know perfectly they will. Rated: 2.5/4 Feb 17, 2006 Full Review Robert W. Butler Kansas City Star There are few highs and lows. And after a while all this middle-of-the road blandness wears out its welcome. Rated: 2/4 Dec 27, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member I luv this movie. The female lead, "Tina Littlehawk", is drop dead gorgeous; it doesn't have the kind of overacting a lot of Christmas movies have.....think Netflix/Hallmark.....I luv the offbeat characters. I luv Graham Greene, too. And, to all the 'top' critic's that give it low ratings, get over your narcissistic, gargantuan-ego selves. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Frances H Cute, sweet, and Graham Greene is the true delight of this predictable Christmas romance comedy that has a new twist in the setting, which is just gorgeous and the quirky characters involved. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/15/17 Full Review Audience Member The plot was predicable, but the humor turned out to be very original. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Seems better than it should have been, Christmas in the Clouds is goofy and somewhat laughable whether or not is is or isn't the best Christmas movie. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member What can I say - I'm a sucker for rom-coms! The vegetarian cook is just great! :) Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member This wasn't bad, but it plays more like an afterschool special.
