The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

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 FILM. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE FILM . NOW I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 200 HOLIDAY FILMS. I HAVE NO AGENDA. I AM HONEST! A woman unable to separate the joys of the Christmas season from the pain of her family past gets snowed in with two people who help her to realize what it takes to find true happiness. Thirty years ago, Kathleen's father left the house on Christmas Eve, and never came back. Ever since that day, Kathleen (Catherine Mary Stewart) has blamed her mother for breaking up
This film is slow. The filmmakers could of easily consolidated many scenes or moved things along in a faster pace. This would of served the film better. I don't not fault the actors they are all good. The fault was the approach the director took. The screenplay however has flaws as well.Now this film could have been better but it is forgettable. If you watch this at night by morning you will forget the basic plot. That was my experience.

Kathleen (Catherine Mary Stewart) is a restaurant owner in a fairly large Western city. Christmas Day is coming fast but Kathleen is a Scroogette. Long ago, her father took off at holiday time, never to return. She insists that there be no decorations at the eatery and that the place will remain open on the Great Day. In addition, a newspaper food critic has ticked her off as well. So, she is in a bad mood when its quitting time. Ho, ho, things get worse when some punks try to mug her. But, happily, an old man, Sam (Muse Watkins) scares them off. Giving him a ride to the bus station, the two learn that Sam has missed his Greyhound. Not knowing what else to do, Kathleen invites him to stay with her, despite their recent friendship. Kathleen gets an additional guest when her boyfriend drops off his daughter, Lucy, in another emergency event. Having met once in the past, the two females don't really like or trust each other. But, stay together a bit they must. The last complication is a heavy snowfall, which prevents the three house mates from going anywhere the next day.....and the next. But, strangely, Sam begins to work more magic, helping Kathleen and Lucy start a friendship. Then, the weather improves and Sam comes up missing. Why has he gone without saying goodbye? This is truly a sweet Christmas film, with religious overtones, but rather somber. Nevertheless, its main theme of forgiveness is just what everyone needs. Stewart and Watkins are excellent, as is the young girl playing Lucy. Also pleasing are the sets, costumes, direction and heartfelt tale. For those who like to celebrate the holidays with a film, this is a nice choice.

This was a very good movie and very touching, but I have to say that I feel that for being a Christian movie it was misleading. This is a spoiler so don't read if you don't want it given away. But basically the dad who abandoned his daughter dies and comes back unbeknownst to her and stays at her house for a couple of days. Later we as viewers learn that he had died and just wanted to see his daughter one more time.I loved this movie until then, because in the bible it says you die and are with God. Not here on earth tying up lose ends. And also there are angels and there are people and you can never be both so when he came back it had to be him. I don't know, I just wanted to warn some that this is not a very biblical movie with having a dead person on earth.That said it has a good moral story but for me I couldn't look past the fact that it is a professed Christian movie but the sam situation is not biblical at all.

A Christmas Snow is a must see movie that deals with the outward and inward problems we all experience in our daily lives. It is a fantastic story about life's mistakes, forgiveness, self reflection, family and the inner working relationships of each of these areas. Not being a professional movie critic, but, dealing with my own life problems and those of many friends and family, I can honestly say that this is a life changing movie. Whether it changes your life for moments, hours, weeks, months or a lifetime, it WILL change your life.Take the time to watch and experience the struggles of these characters as you reflect on your own life experiences. If you're not changed by this movie, it will be the only thing that surprises this viewer.Take the time to watch this, be patient as the movie develops it's plot and let me know if YOU cry in the end, I surely did!! Enjoy
