Hot Frosty | Blogmas Day 17

 

It's Blogmas day 17!

When Cathy (Lacey Chabert) accidentally brings a snowman to life, she discovers the magic Jack the snowman (Dustin Milligan) brings to the town of Hope Springs.

This is the third of four highly anticipated Netflix Christmas originals this year that I'm including in Blogmas. And while it's not the most original story, I've always loved the idea of Jack Frost, so I was excited to see it.

Thankfully I liked this one - though maybe not as much as I wanted to.

I really liked the character of Cathy. Not only was she really likeable, but because we get to know her so quickly, we can really root for her.

I also loved the tone of the film. It didn't take itself seriously at all and made it clear to the audience that we're just there to have fun.

All of the actors, main and supporting, were great. They were so much fun to watch and all played their characters really well.

The chemistry between Cathy and Jack is great! You really want to see them together.

I will say, though, that the film felt a lot longer than it needed to be. And for me this was largely because of the police storyline. Yes it was necessary to create some conflict in the story, but it went on for too long and didn't add anything that the story needed. A conflict could have been created in a different way.

Overall, this was a really sweet, sometimes cheesy movie that definitely has universal appeal. It wasn't my favourite of Blogmas, but it's a really cute watch.
