bruce C @bruce999 Aug 3 also called 'a frosty affair'. kind of dumb acting...a woman in the wilderness with no knowledge of the wilderness, yet she is willing to drive alone on a snowmobile , not knowing the way. (through wilderness) just to get married,, when logically just change the date of the wedding. Then there's a guy who is continually rude, and comes around later, plus perverts through the film... a fellow teacher who, does some things to a fellow teacher, and an alone woodsman, who tries to have relations with the guy. But if you get through that, its a likable movie... so give it a try See more John C @JJC01 Apr 28 It was actually a very funny ROMCOM that was more entertaining than I expected. Jewel Staite is hilarious and actually Shawn Roberts is great in it too. Really surprised it wasn't far more popular. See more 10/24/2021 It makes me wonder why shawn roberts never got that big. perhaps hes just too handsome See more 08/27/2020 Bad watch, won't watch again, and can't recommend. I had to watch this twice because I was sleepy the first time and it didn't seem like anything happened. I can't say I was entirely wrong: there is a lot of nothing that happens in this movie, but it looks like it is by design. I feel that Jewel Staite is (or at least can be) a strong actor, but this role doesn't demonstrate that very well, and I think there is an argument for this being another "a man is her solution" cliche, which I think would upset Jewel, but her character is a vapid, barely capable idiot who is cared for by a strange man and then goes for him like she just needed to be taken care of. She (surprisingly) steps up when needed, but she's not the strong, independent woman the beginning of the movie presents her as. I know it's played for laughs, and Jewel nails the character, but I don't like the character. The snowy wilds of Alaska are also a weird place to set a romantic comedy. It's very dangerous from the start, and that's part of the long running joke, that's she's going to get herself killed. It also lends to isolationism: they're each alone once the snow sets in, then they're alone together, then they're eventually together, alone. It's rather gloomy atmosphere for a romantic comedy, and it really isn't all that fun the way they fight during the "I hate you but we could bang" phase. There is just little power to everything that happens, the characters are just written as present and not active. Shawn Roberts plays off of Jewel Staite as well as his character will let him, but the entire rest of the cast (minus the bear) are just weird casting choices and are really unnecessary to the plot. We don't need the slutty sister hitting on the husband to be, you can literally cut out EVERYTHING involving her family before the wedding, and it would be a better movie. See more 07/16/2020 Omg I can say with absolute honesty that I have never watched a show where everybody in the show is so unattractive and unwatchable. Kate is annoying and not attractive in any way. Redford looks like a gorilla man. Kate's fiance is so ugly, I feel sorry for him. So is her father. Kate's colleagues are lascivious and so overweight, it's not healthy. And most of the show is on ice. I think the show should have been just left there and not brought to our screens. Ugh. And p.s. If you are going to have a wedding and want to cover Jesus, why are you having the wedding in a Church?? There are no town halls you could use instead? That is just a very rude and disrespectful and unnecessary line in the show. See more 01/02/2019 crappy!!! the girl character suuuuucks. but at least the dude is semi-cute... i like his beard. the girl is completely helpless and a waste of oxygen. only watch this movie if you are completely desperate (which i was) See more Read all reviews
