Angels in the Snow (2015)

Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

A Major Disappointment

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

The Tuckers should have had a better ending, this movie was disappointing.

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

not sure what movie the previous reviewers were watching, but I sensed some bitterness from them in their reviews. I found it refreshing from the more predictable boy meets girl in a Christmasland and after clashing at first, fall in love. kiss kiss. mistletoe. merry Christmas. Although you can see what is coming (can't you in any feel-good made-for-TV movie?) this is reality. this is about a family on the verge of falling apart. It addresses REAL issues: a husband entangled in his stressful job, a wife hoping this get away will bring her family closer, a marriage on the brink of divorce, unresolved grief issues, teenagers glued to their e-devices (escaping), a younger sister seeing the stress and trying her darnedest to be a positive influence and keep her parents from getting a divorce (the people pleaser). she prays for a miracle. Enter a family that through example and love help this hurting family. If you are looking for a large cast of characters with tons of drama, this is not for you. If you are looking for romance and sex, this is not for you. If you ARE looking for reality based, maybe even from a hurting family yourself,if you are looking for a positive and uplifting message, then this is for you. I won't spoil the ending but after all it is Christmas, so there has to be one surprise.
