Movie #1613 "Snow Bride" --- I was just about ready to turn this off in the first couple of minutes because it looked to be full of shallow people --- she was working for some gossip rag and she was in competition for the scoop on this wealthy family's news so..... she just jumps in a car and drives recklessly through snow and slides into a snowbank --- she has work out clothes on so she is freezing (what a dimwit) and she puts on her friend's wedding gown that is in her trunk to keep herself warm --- then hurts her foot kicking the car and proceeds to fall down a big hill and knocks herself out --- rich guy comes to her rescue and she continues to come across as silly --- he thinks she''s a runaway bride and she lets him think that. And that's when I was going to turn it off, but then it took a more intriguing turn for me --- his brother enters the cottage with his new girlfriend (who happens to be the cute rich guy's former girlfriend, so he introduces the snow bride as HIS girlfriend for the weekend..... so now they are both lying. And that doesn't exist a lot in a film, so I guess I wanted to see how they would work the whole thing out. She obviously gets more integrity, and he falls for her (not sure why) I like the witty way it all played out, and the guy was charming, and I got used to her (she makes way too many phony facial expressions, though). I'd give it 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it worth your while to watch it --- IF you can get across that silly opening. P.S. also the theme about rich people oftentimes being down-to-earth is a good one to learn --- and it isn't really a fun life to be followed everywhere!
"SNOW BRIDE" 2013
Greta Kaine (Katrina Law) is always in search of juicy gossip. As a tabloid reporter of gossip in Los Angeles, it's her job to expose the rich and famous. So when word gets out that the late Senator Tannehill's sons might be proposing marriage at the family's Big Bear compound during Christmas, Greta and her chief rival Wes (Tom Lenk) are challenged by their old-school editor to get the scoop. There's incentive to be the first, too -- the editorship of the magazine's new online incarnation. Greta's assistant tells her that Wes has a head start to snowy Big Bear, so she dashes to the mountain resort. When she mistakenly ends up as a guest of the family, she's in the middle of what could be her best story yet! However, she soon discovers that the family, including matriarch Maggie Tannenhill (Patricia Richardson) and caretaker Peters (Robert Curtis Brown) are more down-to-earth than she ever gave them credit for. Increasingly guilt-ridden about her game of subterfuge, Greta must make a decision: how far will she go for the sake of a story?
