![]() ![]() Jesse Hutch's character isn't as interesting but is an amiable and subtly charming presence too. Candace Cameron Bure is a big reason as to why 'Let it Snow' works, she has a likeable character worth identifying with and Bure is just beguiling. They also had personality traits that appealed and any negative traits were not exaggerated, which can be a common problem with female lead characters particularly in Hallmark's Christmas output. The leads were easier to connect to than expected. While the characters are not meaty or original, none of them annoyed me and nor did they bore me. That isn't so big a problem here generally. A lot of Hallmark's Christmas films suffer from being over-scored, meaning being too constantly used and too loud. It is very professionally filmed and the locations are simply beautiful. Which is an inoffensive if uneven and hardly unique watch and not a cinematic classic or milestone. 'Let it Snow' was a pleasant watch and is really not bad when taken for what it is and judged for what it's meant to be. ![]() It is light years away from being a masterpiece or flawless and will admit to considering bailing early on, but stick with it as it does get better. 'Let it Snow' is to me among Hallmark's better festive efforts and certainly for that year. Have been on a roll for the past couple of years watching and reviewing as many Hallmark and Lifetime Christmas films every now and again and it has been interesting despite the quality being uneven. Some though are above average level, and there are some surprisingly enjoyable ones amongst the average and less films that there is in a good deal of in their output. It's a better than average Christmas TV movie that will make you smile.Īs has been said quite a few times, Hallmark's Christmas output is very hit and miss. It has humor, romance, and heartwarming family moments. The story is predictable but who cares really? This isn't challenging stuff but it is enjoyable. The Canadian scenery (subbing for Maine) is lovely. Oh, and just to preserve it for posterity in case someone changes it: Jesse Hutch's IMDb bio currently brags that he shares a birthplace with fictional comic book character Wolverine and tells a rather odd anecdote about him faking a hostage situation at his high school. It's pretty much impossible to dislike them. Dan Willmott and Gabrielle Rose are his salt of the earth parents. I wouldn't mind seeing him in more starring roles. He does well and has nice chemistry with Candace. This is one of the bigger roles I've seem him in. He's been a guest-star on just about everything that films in Canada. Jesse Hutch is an actor whose face is very recognizable if you watch much TV, even if you can't remember where exactly you've seen him before. The fact that Thicke used to play Candace's brother Kirk's father on Growing Pains no doubt led to some back-patting for whoever cast him. Alan Thicke is good as her not-so-likable dad. She's the same here as she is in every role: pretty, charming, likable. I'm always down for a good Candace Cameron Bure TV movie, especially a Christmas one. If you think she'll fall for the handsome son (Jesse Hutch) and have a change of heart about Christmas, you must have seen a Hallmark movie before. Stephanie spends the week before Christmas with the family, experiencing the holiday their way. The plan is to turn the cozy rustic lodge into a ski resort, which is news to the family selling it. This is a film filled with touching moments, guaranteed to satisfy true romantics.Stephanie (Candace Cameron Bure) is an executive with no Christmas spirit who's sent by her boss (and father) to look at a family-owned lodge their company has just acquired. Though most of the plot is predictable, her enthusiasm carries the viewer along, to share in the magic that is Christmas. She does a convincing job of showing us the changes in her character. Stephanie Beck is a role that seems designed for Bure. However, family conflicts have soured him on the yearly celebrations. Brady, on the other hand, was raised with all the trappings of Christmas at Snow Valley, where they enshrine all the traditions and dedicate themselves to making the season special for their guests. She lives in Arizona and has never seen snow fall. Stephanie and her father do not celebrate the Christmas season. But they do have one thing in common-they harbor no affection for Christmas, though for different reasons. From the start, it's an oil-and-water relationship, with no apparent possibility for romance. ![]() There she meets Brady Lewis (played by Jesse Hutch), the son of the owners of Snow Valley. ![]() It stars Candace Cameron Bure as Stephanie Beck, a hospitality industry exec who is sent to the Snow Valley Lodge by her father to assess its profit potential as the newest acquisition by their firm. This is one of those Christmas romance movies that the Hallmark Channel specializes in. ![]()
