Christmas Festival of Ice
This story centers around a woman who is awaiting her bar results in a picturesque town in Ontario, CA while working at her mothers law office. Also she loves to ice sculpt. You read that correctly. Ice sculpting is her jam. Every winter since forever they have an ice sculpting contest in town & her & her Dad enter it. Apparently they never win because there is no poignant moment with a trophy or ribbon. Or a shelf in her parents home full of trophies. But I digress.
She meets her love interest while sticking her face in Christmas trees because she loves the smell... and you guessed it he is a Christmas tree farmer.
She finds out the ice sculpting contest is cancelled because of lack of funds and commits to raising $15,000 in 3 days. She does with with the help of SPOILER ALERT
her mother who donates $10,000 because she wants her daughter to finally decide between ice sculpting and law. But her mother doesn't tell her that the anonymous donation is from her because healthy communication skills are not part of these movies.
Her dad in a selfless act (more like trying to get the romance to flow while it is 32 degrees out) tells her he needs a break from carving the icy bits and she partners with Christmas tree farmer who is very emotionally unavailable due to having his heart broken at Christmas a year ago. Good thing his good friend who just so happens to hook up with her good friend tells him to get over it. Are you following this?
Anyways they partner up and have all this romance and boring banter over whether to carve with a chainsaw or tools.
She lies to her mother about entering the contest, because it wouldn't be a holiday movie without a lie of omission.
Guess what. She passes the bar and decides she doesn't want to do law. Should have gone for sculpting and saved on those loans sculptorlady. Sculptorific. Sculptor McSculptorton.
The writing in this movie was particularly awful. Favorite lines include "I see law school hasn't put a damper on your passion for ice sculpting."
and my personal favorite-
"You have no idea how enchanting you look with a saw in your hand."
For once though a holiday movie is filmed where it actually snows and there is snow on the ground. But why isn't anyone wearing a hat? Literally no hats in sight.
C+ for sheer entertainment of watching ice sculpting
PS Guess what they win the contest. And she is offered a job with the town. I would have written in an ending that she became the towns official ice sculptor and started an ice sculptor school, but that is just me.
Also I am going to start rating these on a "holiday movies so white" scale. from 1 to 10 with 10 being completely white. This movie was a 10.
