Rating*: B+
I want to give Snow an 'A' simply because Tom Cavanagh (from Ed) is in it and I LOVE Tom Cavanagh but really, I found the whole thing a little annoying. Oh, and Ashley Williams is the love interest and I don't like her so that detracts. But, this is the story of a reindeer that got away. Somehow one of Santa's magical flying reindeer got away from the North Pole or wherever and ends up caged in a zoo. Tom's character proceeds to act zany in his attempts to free said reindeer while simultaneously falling in love with Ashley's character, who works at the zoo. Of course, need I tell you that everything ends up happily ever after. Bobb'e J. Thompson plays the kid neighbor who learns Tom's character's secrets and helps out - and is cute along the way. And there is also the requisite bad guy who wants to make money off of the reindeer AND wants Ashley's character all to himself.
Oh, by the way, Snow is available for free streaming online at ABC Family's Web site.
*A disclaimer about the ratings: These ratings are slanted for genre. Consider a scale where "A equals outstanding Christmas movie" and "D equals so awful that even it's sweet message cannot save it." By no means whatsoever can these ratings be compared with non-Christmas movies. Christmas movies, though they should be well-acted enough, have a level of hokiness, mysticism and coincidence that one has to be willing to accept. If not and the story was truly evaluated, all Christmas movies would probably get a poor grade.
