Frozen in Love - a Hallmark Channel Original "Winterfest" Movie starring Rachael Leigh Cook & Niall Matter!

MOVIE REVIEW

Movie: Frozen in Love

Network: Hallmark Channel

Original Air Date: January 13, 2018

CAST:

Rachael Leigh Cook ... Mary Cartwright
Niall Matter ... Adam Clayborn

PLOT:

Storyline via Hallmark: Mary faces the grim reality of her quaint but stagnant Denver store closing, she reaches out for some PR help to turn things around. At the same time, the handsomely wild, flashy “live-in-the-moment” Denver Royals hockey star Adam is sent to the same PR firm to fix his reputation, and the two are paired together in a seemingly mutually-beneficial buddy system: repair his image and give her the chance to reinvent the store and do something big to save it. Along the way, they both learn the important lesson that it doesn’t matter how many times you fall down, it only matters how many times you get back up again, which opens up two seemingly opposites for much needed change, and unexpected love.
