Yes, Let It Snow is a cliche rom-com. But sometimes cliches are good and entertaining. Let It Snow is that kind of cliche. I never read the book so I can't compare which is better. But the movie is a decent watch for performances and feel good moments. Isabella Merced, Odeya Rush, Kiernan Shipka, Jacob Batalon, Mitchell Hope, Liv Hewson and Joan Cusack did a good job. I think Shameik Moore could have done a better job. Overall, I think Let It Snow is a decent enough one time watchable Christmas movie.
