There is no easier movie to write than a Christmas movie. All you have to do is write something uplifting, some cheesy fun, or preferably a combination of both and no matter the quality of the film, audiences will eat it up because it is easy to please people in the Christmas season. ABC Family’s latest made for TV movie Snowglobe definitely follows in the cheesy fun category.
Living in Brooklyn, Christina Milian (Man of the House
), whom I like to refer to as moderately attractive, is your typical girl who is into Christmas a little too much despite being in a concrete jungle without any of the white stuff on the ground. Her Christmas cheer does get dampened by her mother, Lorraine Bracco (The Sopranos
) who owns the building she lives in and keeps on renting out the apartment down the hall to eligible bachelors that Milian isn’t too keen on. And before you wonder how they can get us to believe the Cuban Milian came from the Italian Bracco, her father is played by black dude Ron Canada (I cannot confirm or deny any relation to Ron Mexico).Just before Christmas, Milian receives a mysterious package with a snow globe inside and like every mysterious package, this one has magical powers. In this case, whenever Milian lys down to sleep she is transported inside the snow globe to a perfect Christmas setting that is like a snowier, even less complex version of Pleasantville
. And pretty soon has to decide between perfect snow globe guy Matt Keeslar (Psycho Beach Party
) and the latest tenant Josh Cooke (Committed) as well as deal with the change her presence made inside the snow globe (granted it doesn’t get as deep as Pleasantville, but again it is only a snow globe not a whole town).Snowgobe premieres Saturday, December 15 at 8:00 and repeats at 10:00. You can catch an encore presentations Tuesday, December 18 at 8:00 and Saturday December 22 at 1:00.
