Amazon.com: What begins as a simple, bittersweet tale about a widower's daughter grandly unfolds into a rich, mythical adventure in Hallmark's production of Snow Queen. Based on Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale, this story whisks viewers to a remote mountain town where winter claims a surprising number of lives, beginning with the local innkeeper's wife. Many years later, the woman's daughter, Gerda (Chelsea Hobbs), finds true love when her father hires Kai (Jeremy Guilbaut) as the inn's new bellboy. About one hour into this three-hour production, the mood turns rather sinister as the Snow Queen (Bridget Fonda) bewitches and captures Kai. Scenes of Gerda's search--through the lush temptations of each season personified--are interspersed with downright creepy scenes of Kai held prisoner in the Snow Queen's ice palace. Keen acting and smart direction engross the viewer, but those under 8 years old might not be ready for the repetitive themes of seduction and temptation. --Liane Thomas
*Great Movie!* I love this movie.A great fantasy movie.It really shows what length someone will go to for love.Entertaining and delighful.I loved everything about the movie.
DVD This is a MUST movie to add to your holiday library!! Beautiful, uplifting and will be viewed over and over each year. Needs to be on every shelf as a holiday viewing experience.
The Snow Queen If you like a good love story you will like Gerda & Kai's in Snow Queen. It's a move about true love,love lost, and love found again. The move seems long (180 minutes), and it has some stranges twist and turnes, but it is worth watching.
Amazing, heart warming movie This is a great movie, laced with good ethics and morals. It is a wonderful story about enduring, being faithful and hopeful, and emphasizes the importance of love between families and couples. It also puts importance back into kissing by reminding us of how important a kiss actually is. I would personally recommend this movie to anyone, as it is one of my favorites. But even if it wasn't, I would have to admit that this was a wonderful family story focusing a lot on being a faithful couple, loving your family, and never giving up hope.
This is also a film that did the best they could with their budget, but I believe that it came out quite nicely despite. :D I am greatly impressed with this movie.
I'd rather go to the dentist... ... than have to watch this movie again. It just kept going on and on and on and on and on, like winter in Siberia, with no point. At the end, I didn't care whether or not Gerda ever found Kai -- I was frozen with boredom.
