This fairy-tale romcom which came out last week jumps through all the standard cliches. Our heroines mum has died in a car crash, leaving her with her useless dad and has given up on her lifelong hobby (save the last dance anyone?). Kim (Felicity Jones) is strapped for cash and working in a fast food joint. Instead of looting her local JD Sports she falls into chalet hosting in the Austrian Alps with the very rah Georgie (Tamsin Egerton). It's here she works and falls for the ever so rich and pouty Jonny (Ed Westwick) and realizes she's a super talented snowboard, who'd have guessed?
A little unrealistic perhaps, as she goes from not being able to stand to competing against the pros which isn't exactly how my first season panned out. However its a fun light-hearted ride with great cameos from Bill Nighy and Bill Bailey which makes it a really enjoyable watch. A perfect film to see to get you excited for heading out to the snow.
A film not to watch before you go out is Freeze which came out last year. It's about three Americans dying in various ways after getting abandoned on a chair lift. If you don't want the fear, don't go there!
