The director was the same guy that probably told everyone to smile as big as they can and hold it while they sing. It wasn’t her fault that she had to act like there was something really wrong with her. It was odd, but Bure got the screenplay and direction.

We get some more strange behavior from Stephanie on Christmas morning when she wakes up and acts like a 5-year-old, running around and screaming “it’s Christmas.” She even asks if Santa brought her anything. He walks in hating life and sees all these assholes having the times of their lives really got to him, but seeing poor confused Paul in the corner brought him joy. What an asshole to take out his misery on the rest of the world, but when you’re depressed, you hate seeing people happy. We learn that he hated Christmas ever since his wife died. When Stephanie puts her foot down, she gets fired and her dad gets out of there and continues the plan to destroy the place. He’s the only one not smiling from ear to ear. When he shows up people wish him a merry Christmas, but he doesn’t reply. I know that they are doing this to explain it to the audience BUT who the hell reads shit out loud when they are alone? She dreams about marrying Brady, which was the purpose of this bed-spinning, shoe-throwing thing.Īfter living at the resort for a few days, Stephanie decides that it’s perfect the way that it is, but she has to convince her dad. She has a deranged smile and is reading the instructions out loud. At one point, she does this thing where she has to figure out who she’s going to marry and has to spin three times standing on the bed and throw her shoes and do some other shit. The Christmas spirit hits her hard, but she starts partaking in some really strange ones. Stephanie gets really really weird at times. He starts to realize that he should have taken over the resort, but it’s too little too late. As his relationship with Stephanie starts to develop, he smiles even bigger and starts doing shit like sledding and singing. For a guy with a miserable relationship with his dad, he can’t stop smiling. One old guy smiled so big just hanging an ornament and the crowd was so impressed by it.īrady is the man of a million smiles. No matter what people are doing, the entire mob of people are smiling as big as they can. Everyone has such a good time there, but it’s over the top. The resort has all sorts of traditions and despite her lack of Christmas experience, Stephanie starts enjoying her time there.

All you have to do is talk to Ted for two seconds to realize he’s a complete dickhead, but Paul didn’t see it. The two had different ideas for the resort and when they couldn’t agree, Paul sold, thinking that Ted would keep it as is. Paul is slowly losing his marbles and is getting old and he can’t get along with his son, Brady. He didn’t know that he was going to be bent over and done dry by an old friend.

He owned the resort and sold it to Ted, trusting the guy.

The main characters that fall in love initially do not like each other. That happens in Hallmark Christmas movies. She arrives and meets Brady (Jesse Hutch) and the initial meeting is quite negative. Stephanie (Candice Cameron Bure), the daughter of Ted, is sent to the resort to gather information. He wants to bulldoze the whole place and make it his own. In LET IT SNOW, we got Ted Beck (Alan Thicke), the owner of Falcon, a real estate acquisitions company that has his eyes on Snow Valley Lodge, a resort that specializes in Christmas. I like how most Hallmark movies have an asshole that absolutely hates Christmas.
