One Winter Weekend (2018 TV Movie)
9/10
Some movies are worth watching more than once.
22 January 2018
Yes, the title is a pun. Cara and Ben are from the same neighborhood in Seattle but they have never crossed paths. She is a journalist who dreams about publishing her own mystery book. He is the CEO of a snowboarding company who got into some "trouble". One thing led to another and they find themselves sharing a chalet on the mountains. So they are "forced" to share a space and they start spending time together and liking each other.

The story was complex and it had an original plot considering they always use the same ones and it was not as "empty" as some of these movies tend to be but I personally think this is as good as they get. Taylor Cole and Jack Turner's chemistry is insanely good (it's all in their pupils) and deliver an acceptable and enjoyable performance.

I really enjoyed Shawn and Megan's storyline as well as the fact that there were no ex boyfriend/girlfriend involved in the story: you know, when they break up and show up out of the blue to get them back? Always a bonus for me. The one thing I didn't like that much was that the ending felt rushed. I know they a have to last 1hour and 23m but with only two more scenes the ending would have been perfect.

Edit: I actually didn't even remember these two had already worked together before. I may have to watch "My summer prince" again.

While I enjoy Hallmark movies, I can count with my two hands the movies I would watch again, and I may include this one to the list...

Edit 10january2019: I rewatched this two days before the sequel and I still love it. I'm not even sorry.
