Straight out of a romance novel

8.2 stars.

I don't think I will ever tire of movies like this. It's packed full of witty and intelligent dialogue. It's possible some of the conversation is bloated and conceited, but I was in the right mode for it. The sarcasm is refreshing for the setting. Ben (Jack Turner) is CEO of a sporting goods company unbeknownst to the ladies, so for now we will imagine he has a secret identity. Cara (Taylor Cole) writes mystery novels as a hobby, but works as a romance journalist for a magazine. Sean is an orthopedic surgeon, and Megan is a support staffer at the same magazine as Cara. The women book a chalet in a resort in Eastern Washington State, and the men are booked into the same chalet by some mistake. Grab a bowl of popcorn and watch the fireworks.

After a very icy cold start, Cara soon warms up to Ben and the romance blossoms. Eventually Sean and Megan have a spark as well. This story is easy, fun, adventurous, a little intriguing, a bit of mystery, and quite intelligent. The two leads are bookworms, which they soon discover about each other, and quickly become birds of a feather.

This is a very enjoyable romp (nothing risqué) at a ski resort, all of our characters eventually become cosy, what's not to love about this film? This will put a smile on your face, it's exciting, and the snowy mountain landscape is natural and breathtaking. There is a lot of elation to be had with this movie experience. No surprise there are sequels to this gem.
