Christmas on Ice could have been another boring Christmas movie because the story of the movie is common: saving the seasonal skating rink. Nothing original, a cliché.
However the choices made have allowed the movie to be very pleasant to watch, sometimes touching; all in all, a good Christmas movie, heartwarming, to watch with the family. Why?
First the choice of actors, all the actors, who are in complete harmony: the mayor, the main character's friend, her boyfriend, the little girl and the two main characters are perfect together, and are good actors, a very good choice. Also, the couple have a very good chemistry which makes the story more realistic, interesting, touching.
Then the director's choice to tell the story: in a simple way, without emphasis, with an emphasis on family, the meaning of Christmas, important values.
It is true that the beginning of the movie seemed to take the usual direction of the Christmas movies but the rest, which I will not reveal, is unexpected. The only criticism I will make is about the music: the choice of songs is not very good, too bad!
I advise you to watch this very pleasant, touching, unpretentious Christmas movie if you want to have a good time.
