A worthwhile getaway

The 2021 New Year New Movies films, only five, were mostly good, especially 'A New Year's Resolution'. The one exception being 'Snowkissed', though personally would count that as more of a Winterfest film as it would have been categorised as in any of the previous years. 'A Winter Getaway' also feels more like a Winterfest film than a New Year New Movies film. Expectations were somewhat mixed, the story sounded really charming but due to really disliking Nazneen Contractor in 2020's 'The Christmas Ring' that brought the expectations down.

Of the New Year New Movies films, 'A Winter Getaway' is to me the second weakest. Do prefer 'Take a Shot at Love', 'A New Year's Resolution' and 'Two for the Win', but it is much better than 'Snowkissed' (the only bad one of the five in my view). 'A Winter Getaway' does do a good deal right and one aspect came off much better than expected, but there was room for improvement too (though the flaws have been executed far worse in many other Hallmark films).

'A Winter Getaway' succeeds a lot more than it fails. The best aspect of it is the scenery, which is nothing short of spectacular which is what a vast majority of the 2021 Hallmark films have in common. The camera was clearly in love with it and there are some lovely and lovingly framed shots throughout. Enough of the script flows well and is light-hearted without being too jokey and not going into cutesy overload generally.

While the story is not perfect, it is not as formulaic as most Hallmark films are and has a genuine sweetness and charm without the sentimentality going overboard. 'A Winter Getaway' to me has two lead characters worth caring for. Brooks Darnell is a charming leading man but the biggest surprise was seeing the massive improvement in Contractor's acting here compared to 'The Christmas Ring'. She is a lot more relaxed and expressive here. Their chemistry is engaging and is particularly sweet towards the end.

However, there was room for improvement. The supporting cast are competent, but nobody stands out and they don't have the memorability factor that the two leads have. The film is perhaps a slow starter and some parts are on the overripe side in the writing.

Really have to agree with everybody regarding the music. The film is over-scored in general, but it really does drown everything else at the end. Which is a shame because the final 10-15 minutes do have a good amount of heart.

Overall, above average but wasn't wowed. 6/10.

Favorite scene with

Courtney Evans (Nazneen Contractor) - Dog sledding and talking about her Job with Joe. Would love to run her own Travel Business - but with a Twist.
