Nearly all being underdeveloped to blandness and having lots of cheese and schmaltz that can be hard to bear at times. Evident in having too many subplots and too many characters in too short a length. There is definitely chemistry here.įor all those good things, 'Let It Snow' does have its misgivings. Shameik Moore does more than credibly and it was great to see Joan Cusack again despite her strange role, have not seen enough of her recently. The actors play with a good deal of charm and charisma, with the odd spark in comic timing. There are amusing moments and also some very sweet ones, with some of the situations being true to life.ĭid also find the acting good considering the cliched material they had to work with. The music is a pleasant listen and fits nicely, there are festive films that have music that is too constant and overbears everything but thankfully not here. Making the most of the picturesque scenery that does give an authentic Christmassy feel. It looks lovely, especially the photography which at its best gorgeous if never revolutionary. There are good things here in 'Let It Snow'. Even if the book had been read, it would still have been rated on its own terms by me which has always to me being a fairer way to judge. Can see both sides of view here, can see 'Let It Snow's' appeal for some but can also see why others would dislike it outside of comparing it unfavourably to the source material.
It does have too many flaws to warrant the highest possible rating, but to me it had enough merits to give it a 3 at least. 'Let It Snow' was one of those films that left me rather conflicted. This is going to come from someone judging 'Let It Snow' on its own terms, being a fan of Christmas and who liked the premise even with the slightly corny title. Am planning to do so now, with so much love for it here and whether it is better than the film, which is the general consensus here. This is one of not many book to film adaptations where the film has been seen but the book hasn't been read yet.
