Smarter and more appealing than many other recent romantic comedies.
By Lael Loewenstein
FULL REVIEW 70
The highpoint of the film, acting-wise, comes from Bernadette Peters.
60
Let It Snow is cheery, and it gets by on the energy of the actors, who may be as taken by the movie's guilelessness as audiences could be. The film's naïveté makes up for its rampant predictability.
50
Despite a subpar script and performances, this minor indie entry does possess a rather touching belief in its own charm.
40
A few funny bits float the film for a while -- it's always nice to see Peters onscreen, no matter what she's doing -- but it's really as showcase for Marcus, who also wrote the script.

In lieu of developing a plot, the brothers opt to cram their cache of forced quirks and hit-or-miss sketches into a framework of predictabilities.

James' character is a charmless, boring lump and it's very hard to care if he gets the girl or not.
30
Opens and closes on a jaunty note: It's the tedious, relentlessly talky 80 minutes in between that's the problem.
30
An inert and inept romantic comedy.
