Brrr, It's Cold in Here: A Review of Netflix's "Hot & Frosty"
Remember those cheesy rom-coms you used to watch on a rainy Sunday? The ones with the predictable plot but still made you smile? Well, Netflix's "Hot & Frosty" is like that, but with a winter twist.
A Frozen Romance in the City of Lights
The premise is simple: a hotshot NYC lawyer, Ava, gets sent to Paris for work during the holiday season. She's grumpy, stressed, and definitely not in the mood for romance. But then she meets Lucas, a charming French baker who's basically the embodiment of Christmas cheer.
Sweet and Predictable, Just Like a Sugar Cookie
"Hot & Frosty" hits all the classic rom-com beats: the meet-cute, the "will-they-won't-they" tension, and the inevitable grand gesture. You know exactly what's going to happen, and that's kinda the point. It's like a warm, fuzzy blanket on a cold winter night—comforting and familiar.
But Is It "Hot"?
The chemistry between Ava and Lucas is palpable, but the movie falls a bit flat when it comes to "hot." There's a lot of cute banter and romantic walks through snowy Paris, but it lacks the steamy scenes you might expect from a title like "Hot & Frosty." Think more "cozy cabin" than "fire-breathing dragon."
Overall: A Delightful Escape
If you're looking for a deep, thought-provoking film, this isn't it. "Hot & Frosty" is pure escapism, a light-hearted take on romance that will make you believe in happily ever after. It's not going to win any awards, but it's perfect for a night in with a cup of hot cocoa and a fuzzy blanket. Just don't expect it to set your heart on fire.
