Diana S It was a fun romcom in the snow. I wasn't expecting much but it turned out to be quite fun with good chemistry between the leads and great locations. Relax and enjoy it.

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. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member 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) Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Great for fans of Jewel or Shawn, pretty good overall. Not the best believability. Also called "40 Below and Falling", with Jewel Staite and Shawn Roberts. (Rotten Tomatoes - please update their details for this movie) Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews
