I am looking forward to this. Loved Bethany Joy in one of my favorites The Christmas Secret and of course I'll watch anything with Andrew Walker. Only problem is I think it's on at the same time as Christmas Next Door with Jesse Metcalf. Oh, what shall I watch lol....
ReplyDeleteAm watching now and can say this is already a forever favorite.
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful to hear... thank you so much for sharing, Sunny! All the previews looked so good! :)
DeleteEnjoy the rest!!! Can't wait to see!!!

DeleteThis was a good movie Net! When I saw Andrew Walker and Bethany Joy Lenz were in it I had to watch. I don't watch many movies other than HM or HMM. They were really good together. Both such good actors and of course Andrew would have great chemistry with a flip flop....he just has the ability to connect with whomever he's paired with!
ReplyDeleteSnowed-Inn Christmas is the best Christmas movie I have seen so far this year. The story wasn't so original but it had all the elements an holiday film should have like romance, drama, humor, mystery and magic. The acting was great (I loved Bethany Joy Lenz), the secondary characters had personality and the production values were higher than most of the other movies, real homes, real offices, real planes, nice Christmas decorations , decent costume design, hair and make up wasn't that bad and the snow was still fake but pretty realistic.
ReplyDeleteAs I just posted in another section, LOVED this movie! Great casting, great chemistry and I loved the Santa subplot :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE this movie!!! Andrew Walker and Bethany Joy were so perfect for their roles! Love their chemistry and their cute banters! Love the journalism theme. It was very refreshing. The dialogues are witty and the movie was funny and engaging. I enjoyed it so much and it's definitely one of my favorites I've seen this year!
ReplyDeleteI agree with previous comments. This one was so great! Lifetime really saved the best two for last. Snowed-Inn Christmas and Christmas in Mississippi are both in my top favorites for the year.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely agree! Both are in my top favorites too!
DeleteTotally agree. These 2 movies far above the others in depth of character and the light and caring interaction you don't see much of any more. Especially love the extended endings when they decide to show them.
DeleteLoved this movie.The cast was lovely and the scenery was really beautiful.Loved the inn and the classic car too.The story was a bit different so it was a change from the formula usually seen in these films.I hope to see the two leads together again ... they make a nice pairing.
ReplyDeleteI loved this movie. The banter between Kevin and Jenna was so funny especially the airplane scene. To me, the most touching part was when Kevin faced his fear of going home to let Jenna have a bit of Family Christmas. I only watch Lifetime for the Christmas movies, otherwise it's Hallmark channels.
DeleteI'm the same, Namegirl... I, too, only watch Lifetime at Christmastime... and this movie is most definitely one of my Lifetime Christmas movie favorites!!!
DeleteGlad you love it, too! Andrew and Bethany truly bring this story and characters to life! They are wonderful together! Great chemistry! Love the scene you mentioned.
Thanks so much for sharing!!! :)
I agree, Andrew Walker would have chemistry with even a flip flop (cute!). I thought this was a Hallmark Movie. I love those too. The cast is very good. The humor is excellent. Great acting. It's one I could watch every year. Thanks for creating something the family can watch. It's special. From Susan in Houston
ReplyDeleteDid anyone else notice, when Jenna and Kevin eventually get married, Jenna will be Jenna Jenner? I am always looking ahead to when they get married :) Or maybe she will be Jenna Hudson-Jenner since she is already an established writer. But I like Jenna Jenner better.
ReplyDeleteI think this movie far exceeded the current crop of Hallmark movies. I used to enjoy Hallmark movies, but they've become very wooden and in some cases, just plain awful. Lifetime will be competitive with hallmark if they continue to put quality over quantity. The acting was much better, the chemistry was great and although the story was predictable, I enjoyed watching the evolution of the relationship and the real fun they seem to be having throughout the film. They are using the same crop of actors, but yet the acting is much better. This is one of my favorites this season.
ReplyDeleteITA with all the posters this charming movie was by far the best of Xmas fare this year with Christmas in Mississippi a close second. Better scripted, acted and produced movie(although hardly original) it was a really entertaining movie. The banter was great and I had a dorky smile throughout Kevin and Jenna`s encounters. Andrew seemed to have enjoyed his role and Bethany was once again a "joy" to watch ;). Well done Lifetime:)
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with 'Vee' and others. I am a die hard Hallmark Christmas fan butbthese two are keepers to watch over and over all season. AND did anyone notice that Lifetime only showed the 1 year later ending for both of these movies a couple of the telecasts 2017?? What is with that? Still love the acting and deeper stories Lifetime offers.
Delete“Snowed-Inn Christmas” was ok, but I felt like the movie relied too much on Christmas movie clichés from past Hallmark movies. However, I thought that the acting was good and that Bethany and Andrew had great on-screen chemistry!
ReplyDeleteWhat was different on the Director's cut? This movie was pretty good as it was.
ReplyDeleteMust have been the additional ending... 1 year later when they get married.
DeleteI hope the directors cut will be made available on dvd, along with Christmas in Mississippi!
ReplyDeleteHave been looking for the extended endings versions for 2 yrs since seeing them once and Lifetime is just not showing not 2018 or 2019.... SHAME ON them.
