The film stands out with marginally more complex male characters who occasionally challenge rom-com paradigms, but it ultimately fits right into a genre rife with problematic tropes.įirst, we have Stuart Bale (Shameik Moore), a famous pop star, and Julie (Isabela Merced), who is being forced to make a decision between accepting an offer at Columbia and staying home to take care of her sick mother. It’s Christmas Eve, and by the end of the night, three different couples will come together in love stories tied up with neat, holiday bows. “Snow can change the way you look at the world, or hide the things that are right in front of you,” Cusack intones to set the scene. The feel-good film is set in the fictional town of Laurel, Illinois, and opens with cheesy narration about the power of snow, ironically delivered by Joan Cusack.
The movie version came out on Netflix on November 8th, over a month before Christmas, but I am okay with that. It’s a basic, cute, rom-com Christmas movie based on a book composed of three short stories by John Green, Maureen Johnson, and Lauren Myracle.
Let it Snow (2019) is the perfect movie to watch on a cozy Friday night after a long, stressful week-or a cozy, drunken Tuesday night after a long, stressful beginning of a week (like I may or may not have done).
