Christmas Festival of Ice

Ok movie that had me interested to see the end. Emma, the lead, comes to her home town to work for her mother's law firm, but she really only seems interested in fundraising to get the ice sculpture competition back. She seems annoyed when work gets in the way As the story develops It comes to light that he is the town's best 'ice sculptor' but stopped doing it because he could not handle the pressure partnering with his now ex as she was very competitive. She ends up leaving him near a prior Christmas and it has tormented him ever since. Emma and Nick's love connection isn't really there for a Hallmark movie as it begins way too late in the movie. I have never seen so much ice sculpting though and for this one small town to have so many talented sculptors at the ready for a competition. Lots of good winter scarves as always.

May be I was expecting to much but I think this could have been way better but I will say it is still well worth watching, James Welch Henderson, Arkansas 12/07/2020

First off, I simply didn't believe that Emma Parkers had any ice sculpting talent whatsoever. Her dad gathered a group of amateurs to compete with while her mother funded 10k to hold the contest at all. Talk about privilege. What kind of sick joke is this. I've busted my tail for 25 years participating in ice sculpture contests all across America. This isn't handed to me like little miss Parkers win was. I hope my fellow ice sculptors don't watch this film, as it totally misrepresents the community and what we are all about. Just for once I wish Hollywood would show the adversity that us ice sculptors truly encounter and suffer through. Do better Hallmark, do better!

She is too stiff, blah. Not realistic. No electricity between her and her co-stars! Should have gotten a different actress to do red herring. Mistake!
