As an Alaskan I got a kick out of this movie. The only thing Alaskan about it was they said the name and showed a few different stock videos from Southeast and Anchorage area (two very very different places). With any setting I think it's important to add actual local culture. The wardrobe was way too fresh and new. It would of been more believable if everyone was in carharts, flannel, or xtratuffs (heavy emphasis on the tuffs). If this was any run of the mill Christmas movie the cast would of been great, but that is not what our cultural diversity up here looks like. It would of been better with Alaskan natives, Polynesian, and Asian heritage.
They vaguely make it seem like their town is outside Juneau, but close to the North Pole. Lemme tell ya, there is about a thousand miles between those two places. Also Juneau is basically an island and the only place to drive from there is Juneau.
If the location of a place has to be so specific, a bit of research would be nice. Also snapdragons don't bloom in winter... anywhere.... Other than that I enjoyed this cheesy Christmas movie.
