Review
This movie is based on a book that I read every single year around Christmas. I started that tradition a few years ago and I am still doing it every single year. I was kind of suprised to see that Netflix made a movie about this book. Of course, I couldn’t wait any longer and I had to watch it.
But here is the thing: You just can’t compare this movie to the book because there are so many differences. At the beginning of the movie, I was very confused because of the story. It wasn’t how I remembered the book. But once I let go, I started to enjoy this movie.
Yes, if you are familiar with the book, you’ll always compare it with the movie. But don’t do that. Just try to enjoy this movie.
And don’t worry, a few things are still the same. But the director/writers changed a lot of things. They added a lesbian lovestory, the storylines are also a little bit different. Especially the storyline between Julie (Jubilee in the book) and Stuart. I have to admit that I really prefer the stuart/jubilee storyline from the book. I wonder why they changed that storyline. It was my favourite storyline in the book.
I liked the cast, I think they picked the right actors for their roles. And some parts of this movie were just hilarious. Especially that guy from the Waffle restaurant who was constantly talking about the Universe.
One thing I didn’t like was the length of this movie. I wished the movie would be a little bit longer. 1,5 hour is not enough for a movie with 4+ storylines.
If you like movies like ‘New years eve’ , ‘Love actually’ or ‘Valentines day’ , I think you’ll also like this one.
You can watch ‘Let it snow’ now on Netflix.
