No better or worse than any of the Hallmark Christmas movies, predictable, forgettable, and perfect viewing for the movie goer that buys Christmas gifts in July , wrapped and ready to be mailed by August first. This genre's only purpose is to sell stuff that no one really needs. As an Alaskan, what I find offensive is the collage of images from the continental US, specifically Utah used to represent the fictitious, town of Garland, Alaska. The caricature portrayal of the "Alaskans" does not help either. But in all fairness all films that deal with Alaska (except for one) regardless of their budget have failed in that department.

Let it Snow re-packaged where where flawless makeup, hair-perfect and pasted-on-smile Candace Cameron Bure plods in with high-heels and designer clothes (if she's really a smart doctor, you think she'd know the weather in Alaska in December?). Within days of her arrival, she is willing to give up the career she's worked hard for (well, in truth, it's implied that Daddy pulled the strings) to pine for a somewhat good looking character who has little definition or motivation, and live in a syrupy small town called "Garland" in Alaska. The ridiculous is implied in that Garland is really the North Pole and Mr Holliday (a character who reminds me of a greasy spoon with a bad attitude) is really Santa Claus (who is apparently headed towards heart disease), is ridiculous and over the top. Scenery very poor. Hallmark has put out more films each Christmas season, but it's quality not quantity that keeps me glued to the screen.

Really nice and unpretentious Christmas romance. No convoluted "problems" with the love interests, for a change.I like the fact that they made a movie that's just cheerful fun. It's a made-for-TV movie, and as such the little niggles like sunny dawns in wintery Alaska, snow that's not entirely convincing here&there (but thankfully none of that horrible "foam snow" they often use) didn't bother me to much.The actors are adequate, but sometimes too sitcom-ish. Though, it has to be said that theater veteran Kendra Mylnechuk as the busy, joyous nurse Billie really jumps out.The Utah locations are nice, but to me don't look a whole lot like Alaska. Still, as a background it was good enough for me.It's just, basically, a movie with a wholesome, upbeat and positive vibe. Fitting for Christmas.

And yet another great quality movie starring the very talented, very enjoyable Candace Cameron-Bure!........The location was very unique and outstanding: a Hallmark Christmas movie filmed in Alaska! And those Northern Lights were spectacular! (it must be awesome to see them in person.)...Although the plot was basic, it was a uniquely presented situation......Also: well-written, well-directed, all good supporting cast...no one was annoying to detract from any of it...............The only thing that did not seem right was Candace's red hair. Red hair is beautiful and the intention was probably to make her appear a little differently for effect...what ever that was supposed to be(?)... but it was not her and really not necessary. Then towards the end, it looked like the red was re-done to be deepened. It just looked kind of sleazy, especially with the over-done make-up, which was not in sync with that quiet, little town.......Anyway, as always with all of her movies, it is very respectable, safe...and TOTALLY enjoyable!
