Everything in this movie is all over the place. I can't tell if the acting is as bad as it seems because characters' personalities change on a dime and back and forth again. Their actions and choices, especially Emma's are just as bad ranging to the downright idiotic. Emma is whiny, arrogant and stubborn but then she is sweet, forgiving and generous and some of that is back and forth too. Personality change or character development is good in a story, but these characters were just inconsistent.
It's one thing to be teasing and contrary on the first meeting, but Connor was downright mean adding insult to injury to poor Emma who has just found out she's in Alaska not the Virgin Islands and wearing a sundress while a blizzard blows. Yes it does make you question her intelligence, but kicking her while she is down is just what you do to a tourist before you welcome her to your inn, right?
The movie relies on a lot of extremes which I assume are for laughs. I guess it's really funny to see a woman in a sundress walk out into -12 degree temperatures. The information desk representative at the airport is just insulting, twice. All this, and I not only didn't laugh once, but I never cracked a smile.
Why did I watch it all the way through? Good question. The fact that I had no other options at the time only partly justifies it.
