Let It Snow
Director: Luke Snellin
Year Released: 2019
Rating: 0.5
In some nothing town during a particularly snowy day, several teens go through a series of misadventures: Julie (Isabela Merced) has a chance encounter with a famous singer (Shameik Moore), Dorrie (Liv Hewson) pines over a female crush who isn't out (yet), Addie (Odeya Rush) chases after her cheating boyfriend, Tobin (Mitchell Hope) doesn't know how to tell Angie (Kiernan Shipka) he's in love with her, etc. Adapted from another clunker by the milquetoast John Green (along with Maureen Johnson and Lauren Myracle), it wants to be touching portrait of youth evolving, except it's little more than a Disney Channel-meets-Hallmark Channel wet bag of corniness (except with sympathy for the LGBTQ+ crowd) that plays a new pop song every few seconds presumably to drown out what drivel the humans are trying to say (although a few of the songs are good, especially the ones from Washed Out, The Rolling Stones and the Magic Bullets). Above all, I pity the little pig used as a prop: he deserved better than this.
