Well, I must admit that a movie based on a Harlequin novel wasn't really what brought the most expectations to mind as I sat down to watch the 2019 Christmas movie "Snowbound for Christmas". But with it being a movie that I hadn't already seen, and this being the season and all, of course I managed to find the time to sit down and watch this movie from director Marco Deufemia.
Writer Shannon Stacey did manage to put together a movie that was entertaining. Sure "Snowbound for Christmas" contains the usual Christmas cheese that you often see in this type of romantic holiday movies, for better or worse, but I will say that it was actually watchable and entertaining enough.
Sure, the storyline was predictable and playing all on the archetypical tropes seen in similar Christmas movies, so you pretty much know what you are in for here beforehand sitting down to watch "Snowbound for Christmas". But if you enjoy these sappy Christmas movies, then you will certainly also enjoy the 2019 "Snowbound for Christmas".
The acting performances in the movie were good. I wasn't familiar with anyone on the cast list here, which is something that I do enjoy when watching movies. And I will say that people did good jobs with their given roles and characters, so they had cast a good ensemble of actors and actresses.
My rating of "Snowbound for Christmas" lands on a five out of ten stars.
