I guess, like, it’s okay to steal a very small keg from someone else’s party if you’re the hero of the story? Or maybe something about seizing opportunities when they arise? I really have no idea what this movie was trying to say. I’m not really sure what the moral of this story is. In the end, Tobin offers up the most bland romantic lines ever and they make out on a rooftop of a Waffle House-style restaurant. The only problem is other people keep getting in the way, I guess. The Duke and Tobin (Mitchell Hope) have been besties for years, and Tobin wants to finally profess his love to her.
Unfortunately, the least successful love story involves our girl Kiernan, who plays the Duke (yes, that is what she’s called… WTF kind of John Green tomfoolery is this). I also just want the best for Shameik Moore at all times. There are moments of cuteness (like the sled scene pictured above) that almost makes this movie watchable. And then they end up walking together which turns into spending the day together. They end up on the same train that gets stopped because of the snow. Stuart is a pop star with a pretty bland Christmas song that plays throughout the movie. Julie has recently been accepted into Columbia for college, but she’s unsure if she will go because her mother is sick with some unnamed disease. The most successful love story is probably the one between Julie (Merced) and Stuart (Moore), simply because these characters and their romance are the most developed. Everywhere you look, young people are falling in love. Honestly, five out of ten points here is very generous, but I’m awarding this movie five points out of sheer volume of romance rather than quality. There is a lot of “romance” in this movie. Basically, Let It Snow wants to be a teen Love, Actually, but Love, Actually is an overrated Christmas movie as well. There’s no way to even break down the plot of this movie because it has no plot. After reading a quick synopsis of this book, it sounds equally dumb, but also, this movie took a lot of liberties. Additionally, we have Shameik Moore (you know, the good Spider-Man), Isabela Merced (Dora the Explorer herself), and of course… Joan Cusack? What are you doing here? This movie is based on a young adult novel co-written by John Green, Maureen Johnson, and Lauren Myracle.

Obviously, this movie countdown series now canonically has a thing for Kiernan Shipka movies. I’m not going to lie and say this movie showed a lot of promise. With their powers combined, they might make a decent Christmas movie. It’s the five Planeteers of Christmas movies.
As with our previous 12 Days of Christmas Movies blog post, I will be breaking down this movie’s success as a Christmas movie based on 5 categories: Romance, Morality, Music, Christmas Spirit, and Heart. I haven’t broken it down yet, but that’s what this blog post is for.

My professional opinion? Netflix’s teen Christmas movie Let It Snow fails in every Christmas movie category.
