Like I read the book that inspired the movie,I think that I must compare them. Let's start, well, on the book, we have three tales that through of plot will have more connections with the every characters, and all the tales emphasize a lot about the snowstorn, and we have more misadventures into that. but at the movie we have less about that, less about the characters, and less about the places and some stories that could be able to be better than that we have here, some differences, i loved, all the tales are into an only narrative , the highlight about the Aluminum-woman, and Dorrie be a lesbian, but some differences take off the originality that the book has, and some times get too cliche, but still a great story to see at Christmas, have a soundtrack pretty good and amazing cast.

Am going to start this review with a confession. This is one of not many book to film adaptations where the film has been seen but the book hasn't been read yet. 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 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.

'Let It Snow' was one of those films that left me rather conflicted. 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. 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. 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.

There are good things here in 'Let It Snow'. It looks lovely, especially the photography which at its best gorgeous if never revolutionary. Making the most of the picturesque scenery that does give an authentic Christmassy feel. 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. The songs are great. There are amusing moments and also some very sweet ones, with some of the situations being true to life.

Did also find the acting good considering the cliched material they had to work with. The actors play with a good deal of charm and charisma, with the odd spark in comic timing. 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. There is definitely chemistry here.

For all those good things, 'Let It Snow' does have its misgivings. It is not a case of the film not trying. If anything, it tries too hard. Evident in having too many subplots and too many characters in too short a length. Nearly all being underdeveloped to blandness and having lots of cheese and schmaltz that can be hard to bear at times. The characters are too sketchy to make one want to care for them, and Julie can be difficult to warm to, relationships also feel rushed.

All the subplots have good moments, but can feel forced and very cliche ridden throughout, and while the structure of the film is interesting and different for a Christmas film it feels disjointed with less than smooth transitioning and doesn't quite come together.

In summary, mixed feelings here. 5/10

Disappointing Christmas movie mixed with teen romance. A bunch of uninteresting characters that aren't appealing. Being a fan of Kiernan and Odeya I watched this but couldn't find any of the stories involving. The pop singer thing seemed very fake. The lesbian affair wasn't convincing. Kiernan's story about her good friend and secret of love was so cliched.

Skip this one.
