Hot Frosty
Cathy lost her husband not too long ago and now she is just surviving the days. One night, she puts a scarf around the neck of a snowman. The next day, she finds a man outside who claims to be a snowman. The snowman magically turns into a human being and his presence is healing Cathy. Suddenly she is starting to feel better and starts to believe that she can fall in love again. There is one problem. Jack (the snowman) is always feeling hot inside the buildings and he is afraid that he is going to melt very soon.
Review
Let’s start by saying I was expecting a typical Hallmark vibes kind of movie. I’ve seen bits of the trailer and wasn’t convinced that this would be a great movie. Sometimes movies like these can be a bit cringe. The storywriting isn’t always that good. Sometimes it is just too awkward to watch. So I had zero expectations for this movie, but honestly, it was a lot better than I had expected.
Okay, there were some cringe moments towards the ending when he was sort of melting. But other than that, this movie wasn’t that bad. I honestly, enjoyed watching this movie. Sure, the movie title is a little bit weird maybe. Because now it sounds like it’s a porn movie. But it is not, thank god. There were quite a few moments that made me laugh so hard. I think Dustin was the right person to be the snowman. He didn’t make this movie too awkward with those jokes. Of course, the best moment in this movie is when Cathy (Lacey Chabert) makes a Mean Girls reference when Lindsay Lohan’s Christmas movie from last year was on TV. That was just hilarious.
There was chemistry between the main characters. I think they were great together. Without the chemistry, the movie would have been just a boring movie honestly. I loved how hilarious Jack (the snowman) was at some moments. There was one moment when Cathy was eating a Christmas cookie and she bit a piece of the snowman’s head off. And the look on Jack’s face was just priceless. And I loved the golden Sheriff’s duo, Ed and Nathaniel. If you’ve ever watched Brooklynn 99, you are going to love this because they are actually Charles Boyle and Doug Judy from that show and they are just amazing in this movie. That was one of the reasons why I was so excited to see this movie.
I could definitely see myself watching this again. Most of the time, the romance movies on Netflix are just okay but I never want to watch them again. There is one other movie (Holidate) that I actually liked and I still watch it sometimes. Hot Frosty is definitely a great movie to watch again during the holidays. I had a great time watching this movie. I saw a lot of mixed reviews on the IMDB and on social media, but honestly, I think it is one of the best Romance Christmas movies Netflix has ever made (besides Holidate). So I can highly recommend this movie.
