5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Film with Great Romance and Comedy, November 3, 2006

A standing ovation at the Santa Fe Film Festival -- I've been waiting for years to see it available on DVD. It got only limited release, perhaps because its cast is mostly Native American and exhibitors expected it to have a small draw. But in fact the story is a universal one, full of terrific characters and charming substories - my favorite is the chef who tries to talk diners out of eating meat dishes. The story is about a Native American-owned ski lodge crew that is praying for snow and publicity to keep them in business. When an attractive young woman is mistaken for a reviewer whose approval is essential, and she falls for the hunky lodge manager (and vice versa), things get romantic and funny. Even the last line of the movie is funny.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unknown Favorites, September 30, 2006

IrishJazz "IrishJazz" (Richmond, VA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Christmas In The Clouds (DVD)

A brilliantly funny independent movie filled with memorable characters who behave with the unpredictability of real people. Filmed in late 2001, it won multiple awards at film festivals before being polished and released in 2005- again to positive critical reviews and very enthusiastic audience response. (It was held over at many of the art theatres that screened it.)

The film's central conceit- a comedy of errors featuring a mostly Native American cast- establishes a familiar set of expectations that the characters then confound. (The airport scene, for example, which seems about to land in cliche, veers off in a surprising manner.) The cultural setting (with Robert Redford's Sundance standing in for a reservation resort) provides an exotic yet specific context. Serious issues are handled lightly in which serious issues are handled lightly.

The obvious comparisons for the film are "Local Hero," "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" and, most recently "Little Miss Sunshine." Like those films, CITC depends on an ensemble cast, lots of background detail, and most of all, at the center of everything, the often missing element that largest budget in the world can't buy: heart.

This review is from: Christmas In The Clouds (DVD)

How many times can we all watch "It's a Wonderful Life"? I've probably hit my lifetime limit, which is why I was so excited to discover "CHRISTMAS IN THE CLOUDS" as a fresher "feel-good" holiday treat. There is no way to not enjoy this film, which is probably why all of the USA's lead reviewers have given it glowing "thumbs-up" reviews. Don't waste time with a rental, buy this DVD now because you will definitely want to watch it several times this year, and every holiday season from now on!! Happy Holidays to those who have watched "CHRISTMAS IN THE CLOUDS!"
