![]() With so many characters to juggle, and emotional boo-boos to nurse, “Let It Snow” always feels in motion, in a bad way. ![]() You can guess where all of these stories go-it’s not just the Waffle House party denouement, arranged by cheesy DJ Keon ( Jacob Batalon of " Spider-Man: Homecoming"), that’s the obvious destination-you’ll just wish it tried to be more fun and funny along the way. Then, there’s the frustrated Addie ( Odeya Rush of “ Lady Bird”), who is so caught up in getting attention from her crummy boyfriend that she pushes away her truly accepting friend Dorrie ( Liv Hewson of “Santa Clarita Diet”), who has her own problems crushing on a girl who isn't out. Across town, the neurotic Tobin ( Mitchell Hope of “Descendants”) wants to say something to his Sonic Youth t-shirt-wearing friend and longtime crush The Duke ( Kiernan Shipka, of “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”), but is just too gosh darn shy to do so. They're like junior versions of rom-com prototypes, like introverted Julie ( Isabela Moner from “ Dora and the Lost City of Gold,”) who hangs out with a famous, secretly lonely pop star named Stewart ( Shameik Moore of “ Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse”), and downplays what others would consider a fantasy day with him. ![]() Adapted from the book by John Green, Maureen Johnson and Lauren Myracle, director Luke Snellin’s "Let It Snow" follows a group of high school seniors on a snowy Christmas Eve, each with some void to fill, or a vulnerability to be addressed.
