My favourite made-for-television Christmas film. <em>'Snow Bride'</em> is excellent, in short. I honestly love every detail of it, it easily surpasses any other made-for-TV production; from what I've seen so far, anyway. Great casting, top notch music and an entertaining plot. The chemistry between the cast is impressive. Whether it be between Katrina Law and Jordan Belfi, or Belfi and Bobby Campo, or those two and Patricia Richardson, or between her and Robert Curtis Brown. You get my point, they all work super well together. They are all, including Susie Abromeit, enjoyable but Law and Belfi are the most terrific. I mentioned it earlier, but big credit to Russ Howard III for the music; which fits very nicely. The writing is shipshape, sure it does hit the usual cheesy beats here and there but it actually comes out positively - thanks to the onscreen talent. The film also has the all-important festive vibe to it. I've actually watched this every Xmas for a few years now, which is very rare for me - I don't even watch <em>'The Polar Express'</em>, my all-time favourite Christmas film, as often. It has everything you'd want from this sorta film, whilst being nice and short. Watch it!
