Christmas Movies: Snowed-Inn Christmas

The film review for people who love happy endings and Christmas loveliness

How happy was I to find a film with Andrew Walker that I hadn’t seen before, and with Bethany Joy Lenz no less (she is the smile-maker in my book!) - wonderful! Let’s go! Press play… oh oops I have seen this movie (this is definitely not a first time that I’ve had to start a movie to see if I’ve seen it… not sure if that says something about the movie or my complete lack of memory - I think I’m a 'enjoy & let go’ watcher).

Anyway, did I stop the movie and flick to a newer potentially unseen film? No… I watched again :) It is delightful! The premise goes like this… two competing & opposite kind of writers for a magazine have to write a Christmas story (in an Aspen resort - not quite sure how that is a thing but nevermind not important). They head off for Aspen but the plane cannot land due to weather and they end up in Indiana, in a place called Santa Claus where a jolly Chris and Carole Winters offer a place to stay in their B&B.

Kevin (Andrew’s character) and Jenna (Bethany’s character) start spending time together and find they’re enjoying themselves… quite a lot in fact. Then they visit Kevin’s family home and the magic just keeps coming. Kevin realises he’s falling in love… Jenna is a slightly reluctant and unconfident faller herself… and then the ex comes into play. Of course it is a happy ending but I’ll leave you to enjoy the final plays :)

I think it is the magic of the two actors that make this movie delightful. A lovely story but the two are just so loveable and draw you in. They hold the emotional scenes so nicely, without over doing it. You just want to root for them even though you know they will get together in the end - how I love Christmas movies!

And yes, to loop back to the beginning, I am an Andrew Walker fan - he is handsome of course, but he also just delivers every time. In my book he is a mark of a great rom-com. Ryan Reynolds you’re not bad 😉 but Andrew beats you on this genre methinks.

So yes it a recommendation! Go Christmas movies! Even for a second, or third, or fourth… time around ;)

Enjoy enjoy enjoy - it’s always Christmas movie time! 🙌❄️🎄🎅🏼🎬🍿😊
