These clearly wealthy people rely on “volunteers,” who pay to stay in hotels, to harvest their wine? And even without them, the townsfolk hear this “ancient” bell-shown being held up in the tower by a bike hook, as all historic landmarks are-and just willy nilly come out, fully dressed in the middle of the night, to give up their Christmas and help these, again, obviously wealthy people harvest wine? Lots of disappointed kids in that town.
#An ice wine christmas cast movie#
Though it was filmed in Canada, it was just the other side of the border in Niagara at actual vineyards that do make ice wine.īut beyond some technical wine elements, the business side of this movie made absolutely no sense.
But that even with that, they still rested most of the drama on yet another overheard misunderstanding was grating.Īs someone who likes wine, though not ice wine, I appreciate they mostly stuck much more closely to reality in both technical winemaking know-how and place, than most such “wine-themed” Christmas movies. That they didn’t just wake up and see it had all worked out. And, hey, at least it was a swingy Christmas song, not public domain Silent Night that folks pretended was “their song.”Īlso liked that the movie had some non-magical moments, like the initial wrong date frost prediction. There were things to like here, like Sanchez’s in-joke skepticism at dancing to Christmas music. Lyriq Bent was also a solid lead, and we’ll see him again later this season on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries for Our Christmas Journey with Hollie Robinson Peete. Roselyn Sanchez is very charming and I love the diversity here, including all the Latinx elements she brings to her character, though it’s a little suspect that her fairly close in age “sister” has no accent at all, unlike Sanchez, and her mother’s comes and goes. Where to Watch?: Lifetime will re-air it in this, and future seasons It’s also available to purchase on iTunes or to watch, with ads, for a limited time, on (cable login, required)
