Angels in the Snow (2015)

Think this is a movie that is worth watching. Open communication and being present for one another hits home. Turned out to not be your typical too-sweet Christmas movie-though I was a bit worried about it being too much in the beginning. Acting was well done by actors I have seen in other shows and movies.

BEWARE OF FALSE REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME. NOW WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE MOVIE. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE FILM . I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 200 HOLIDAY FILMS. I HAVE NO AGENDA.In this film The dysfunctional Montgomery family go to their cabin for Christmas where a blizzard traps them inside. When the Tucker family arrives needing shelter, they are welcomed inside and remind the Montgomery family how to love each other.The performance in this are fine. The little girl is cute. There is some very nice scenes in this film but the film in general isn't that great but it is worth watching.The message in this film is "Communication" and "Life is meant to be enjoyed" I like the general message of the film which makes me recommend "Slightly".Family safe but small children will be bored.

SPOILERS**** Oh Dear...where to begin? The scenery was lovely and the cabin was a dream come true. The rest of the movie? It was an hour and a half of my life that I will never get back. It was so bad that I couldn't stop watching. I had the entire plot figured out in the first 10 minutes. There were a few things that were so bad they have just stuck in my mind like a goofy song you can't get out of your head.The Montgomery parents were the most selfish example of a Mother and Father that I have ever seen. We the viewers were supposed to dislike the Father and side with the Mother but I found myself doing the opposite! The Mother was the most self absorbed, spoiled example of womanhood you can imagine. She just says whatever whiny thing comes to mind with no concern for how it will be heard by her children.I actually felt sorry for the Dad. As for the Tuckers...yikes...Someone told the teenage son to lean in and look seriously intense during what was supposed to be heartfelt dialog. To me he looked like he was going to lose it and kill them all in their sleep! As far as the ending...the wrong family died. What struck me as weird was how The Montgomery's just accepted that the Tucker's were dead with no sorrow or real emotion...not a care was given.It was like..."Oh well...they are dead.But Hey! Didn't they give US a great Christmas?...la da de da" On the bright side, if you can watch this movie as a parody and laugh at the total absurdity of it you just might be able to make it through to the end.

I really enjoy Christmas tales and even enjoy some of them when they get a bit gloopy but in my opinion through the entire movie I failed to be moved in any sympathetic way whatsoever towards the Montgomery parents (Kristy Swanson and Chris Potter) and thought that her character was blubby to say the least when she should have taken hold of the situation just as a mum for the sake of the kids and he came over as a guy that was selfish to the extreme and showed his children no emotion whatsoever. Then the Tucker family turned up at the door to the cottage with their entourage of kids and they were allowed entry as total strangers through the door with no questions asked as to who they were or what they were doing. It got better when pa Montgomery went out to the car in the middle of a raging storm and got hit by a tree. I thought he'd gone to the car to try and charge his cell phone but it turned out to be otherwise. I'm not going to put any spoilers in as seeing this movie is beyond belief to the extreme and you have to watch it for yourselves but I suspect that the ending was thrown in as an afterthought to cut it all off abruptly and stop any further money being spent on filming. I could go on for ages because I really enjoy movies of all genres but this was dross even for a TV Movie and bore no relationship to real life behaviour in my life experience
