All the young actors are very strong, there was plenty of humor and the love stories, though some seemed rushed, were endearing. And I missed the loss of the humor of the Flobie Christmas Village riot and its complicated backstory.īut, even with my occasional confusion and some underdeveloped elements, I still enjoyed this one quite a bit. Plus, the snowstorm that propelled all the in-book action, was really more of a mild, at worst, flurry here.
Also, if they were going to make so many changes, cutting down the cast to better flesh out some of the stories, which all felt a little rushed, might have been a solid plan.
There’s happy endings all around, even if Addie’s is not Jeb, as it is in the novel, but a teacup pig.Īctually, given the breadth of the changes in the storylines, non-readers of the original might get more out of this movie, since so little actually hews closely to the original tales. None of the same-sex romance stuff is in the original stories, but it’s a nice addition here, and I think handled pretty well. There waitress Dorrie, a character not exactly in the novel, sees her party hook-up amongst the dance troupe, but when she attempts to talk to her, gets the brush off, eventually learning she’s not out to her friends. Until, thanks to their adventures, he isn’t.Īs in the novel, the snow eventually brings everyone together, here at Waffle Town, or Affle Town, as the “W” is broken. One of the boys in this trio is in love with his tomboy bestie (Shipka), but is too afraid to tell her. The third storyline hews most closely to its in-book counterpart, though still with some significant changes, with a trio of friends hanging out and eventually chased by some psycho twins they’ve managed to tick off. (Cusack’s character also doesn’t exist in the book, if you’re keeping score.) Addie ends up interacting with the town crazy lady/tow-truck driver, played by Joan Cusack who who, not-so-shockingly, turns out to be her sage and savior. Again, names are the same, but the entire plot is different with these two, with Jeb having almost no role at all (he was a main character in the book) and basically taking the storyline of the book’s rarely-seen, Noah, who was involved with a different character in the story. In another story, Addie, played by Odeya Rush, obsessively tries to track down her boyfriend, who she suspects is about to dump her for another girl. Moore plays Stuart, a giant pop star (Stuart’s just an average teen in the book) who is, for some inexplicable and unexplained reason, traveling alone on a train that finds itself stuck, and hikes to a nearby Waffle Town with a girl, Julie, (Jubilee in the novel) he met on board, while trying to avoid a group of dancers (cheerleaders in the book).

This is both good, and bad, as I really enjoyed the book, and think a movie that told the stories separately and then brought them together for the final third could have been really interesting, but I still really liked Let it Snow. In the book, the three separate stories only really come together in the last tale and, honestly, while elements from all three remain, the movie scrapped all but the broadest strokes of the book’s plot.

With a who’s-who-in-young-Hollywood cast, led by Kiernan Shipka and Shameik Moore, the series of interwoven tales, connected by a Christmas Eve snow storm, based on the 2008 book by John Green, Maureen Johnson and Lauren Myracle. It was originally developed for a December 2016 theatrical release by Universal, then pushed to 2017, before being scrapped altogether.įrom the outside, the project looked dead, but director Luke Snellin and producer Scott Stuber (all attached way back in 2016), finally got the movie made earlier this year, thanks to Netflix. Let It Snow had a bumpy road before finally making it to the big(ish) screen with Netflix. Where to Watch?: It’s a Netflix original, so it should be available on the service forever
