kz917-1 A bit lame and hokey but enjoyable. An international figure skater is sent to a mountain rehabilitation retreat center and meets a former hockey player and learns maybe there is more to life after skating. Cute premise and story, nice to see Lisa Whelchel from Facts of Life! The only thing that was "off" were the fake vista screens for some of the outdoor shots. Enjoyable overall.

gehewe "Falling for Christmas" is a much better title than "A Snow Capped Christmas" because the story is about a Figure Skater. The actors were all very enjoyable- well done- enjoyed watching it. This is the first time I've seen the lead actress (who is 31 playing a 20 yr old- but it worked well). The lead actor was in "Finding Father Christmas" and he is very likable in both roles. The two were great together especially with the 8 year old daughter in the mix. In the supporting cast we have Blair from Facts of Life as the mom and Lochlyn Munro who played a part in Christmas Mail- 2010 (both these added to the film). I also thought the receptionist at the clinic was a nice touch.I recommend watching it (especially for those familiar with women's figure skating), but it failed the doze test. I dozed a few times past the half point watching on a commercial free DVD. Little effort was put into making the figure skating scenes special. The plot: previous years Silver medalist from the National Women's Figure skating contest meets former NHL MVP (for 3 years) Hockey Star. I think that should have been toned down a bit to maybe a regional figure skating championship and a former pro hockey player.

Miss M Wanted to watch this film for a while and I did not disappointed me, at all. Just finished the movie, and I'm writing this review with a smile in my face. The movie was beautiful! The characters were amazing, the leading lady had the personality that ice skaters tend to have: they are delicate, sweet, sophisticated. The leading guy was great as well! Luke's daughter was lovely girl, not annoying at all. The best part of the story is that is believable, so is the plot, and the pre-ending drama. You will also laugh as well, that's Julian's part: the demanding coach who wants Claire to success so that HE can success. It is so worth the watch and I assure you that you will end with a smile in your face.
