#Let it snow movie#
It reminded me of just how little Netflix and other movie producers must know about what life is actually like as a teenager in the real world.
But in truth, the film was a messy mix of awkward dialogue and cliches. I would’ve had a high-rated review to write. If there hadn’t been as many moments where I physically squirmed in my seat, I would have written a very different –– and probably more complementary –– review. The image those three details create pretty perfectly capture the plot and message of the film. The only details you really need to get the gist of the plot are the classic, stock characters –– the lonely popstar, the friend-zoned boy –– and a Hollywood attempt at what a high school party would look like at the local Waffle Town. The movie follows various groups of teenagers on Christmas Eve in a snow-blanketed town. Joan Cusak, who both acted in and narrated the film, undoubtedly steals the show. Other standout performances include Mitchell Hope as goofy, lovesick Tobin and Shameik Moore as a young pop star. Kiernan Shipka leads the cast as The Duke, giving one of the best performances. It follows the story of four couples one Christmas Eve when a snowstorm leaves the town of Laurel, Illinois totally helpless. Netflix’s Let It Snow, based on the novel by best-selling authors John Green, Maureen Johnson and Lauren Myracle, fails to hit that mark. Predictability in rom-coms is fine, but only when it hits the sweet spot of cheesy but heartwarming, cliche yet entertaining.
