Came for the snow. Was bamboozled.

A few patches of cotton on the sidewalk does not a snow day make. Lifetime has done a few wintry movies lately but this one is lame in comparison. I love snow and will admit that I was curious to see what it would add to this movie but LMN let me down. Typical.

The story is nothing special. Typical nanny in peril. This movie has Meredith Thomas, Kate Watson and Matthew Pohlkamp and it's still boring. The acting from the lead and the deputy are mid at best. The deputy didn't need to be law enforcement and his behavior wasn't that official. Ugh this movie. They should have at least snowed them in at some point to increase tension or even had a blizzard as the backdrop.

There were only two ways this story could go so the twist really isn't.

It just pissed me off to hear the cop tell what's her face that she looks cold. Gimme a break. I think there's even a Christmas tree on the thumbnail which is just false advertising. They didn't even throw in an obligatory Christmas shopping scene or a hot cocoa scene or a snowball fight. But I guess there'd have to be snow on the ground for that.

I also find it hard to believe the nanny would get custody of the kids. Two sets of grandparents are gone?

This felt like a filler movie that they wanted to air during the Christmas holiday season. It also feels like a co vid movie where there are hardly any characters or extras in the movie. Like how is this deputy the only officer we see?
