There's a new Christmas movie that's making waves and it's giving some of the classics a run for their money. Move over Hugh Grant and Macaulay Culkin, because there's a new heartwarming film in town. Hot Frosty, released on Netflix just a few weeks ago, has taken the holiday season by storm. The story follows a young widow who brings a handsome snowman to life and, as you might have guessed, they fall head over heels for each other.
But just when things start to heat up, the real world interferes and threatens to melt their budding romance. Despite this, the movie has been receiving rave reviews from critics, even surpassing well-known holiday favorites like Home Alone, Love Actually, and The Holiday. With a critics score of 85%, it's no surprise that Hot Frosty has soared to the top of Netflix's global charts.
Many reviewers have applauded the film for its unique and charming concept, with Adrian Horton from the Guardian remarking that, "It's a sincerely stupid idea executed sincerely." Alise Chaffins from Loud and Clear adds that the movie has "heart, pathos, humor, and just enough of a shirtless Dustin Milligan to melt any cold hearts." And according to Katie Rife from IGN Movies, the film is "frothy entertainment" that shouldn't be taken too seriously.
But what sets Hot Frosty apart from other Christmas movies is its self-awareness and ability to poke fun at itself. As Archi Sengupta from LeisureByte.com puts it, "Hot Frosty can melt our cold, dead hearts with its silliness, general insanity, and Christmas spirit." This lighthearted approach has resonated with audiences, as the film has received an impressive rating of 85% from critics and 55% from viewers on Rotten Tomatoes.
In comparison, even beloved classics like Home Alone and Love Actually have received lower scores on Rotten Tomatoes, with 66% and 64% respectively. Even Jude Law's charming performance in The Holiday was no match for Hot Frosty, only receiving a score of 51%. And Miracle on 34th Street, a staple Christmas film from 1994, only received a rating of 60%.
With the overwhelming success of Hot Frosty, it's no wonder that fans are eagerly anticipating a sequel. Lead actor Dustin Milligan has even expressed his interest in returning for a second film, jokingly suggesting that the snowman and his love interest could open a food truck together. And we have to admit, we would definitely watch that.
So if you're looking for a heartwarming, feel-good movie to get you in the holiday spirit, be sure to check out Hot Frosty on Netflix. And who knows, maybe we'll see the lovable snowman and his human love interest back on our screens in the near future.
