What critics compared Let It Snow to
The movie, now on Netflix, falls neatly into the time-honored tradition of holiday-based ensemble romantic comedies ( Love Actually , Valentine’s Day , New Year’s Eve ) as it follows a group of young adults and their respective romantic woes through the Christmas season.
Netflix’s Let It Snow is a modern-day Love Actually with fewer British accents and a whole lot of charm.
Director Luke Snellin tries hard to create his own young adult version of “Love Actually,” and while he doesn’t quite hit that high bar, he succeeds in highlighting a lot of his cast’s talents.
Christmas cheer abounds in this Love Actually for Generation Z, addressing our relationship to others, fame, and technology in the most annoying, pedagogic way.
What Movies Will It Remind You Of?: The structure, which hops around from one romcom plot to another, is exactly the kind pioneered by Love Actually .
Many have tried and most have failed at the Love Actually -esque ensemble feature, but in the hands of Laura Solon, Victoria Strouse (adapting an earlier screenplay from Kay Cannon), and director Luke Snellin, this potentially sprawling snowtastrophe is a confectionary holiday treat.
