The plot is predictable – downright corny in spots – but there is something so utterly charming about this rom/com that it’s almost impossible to resist it, and that something is Felicity Jones. In the movie, Jones plays a working class London girl trying to make ends meet with the money she earns from her dead-end job working the counter at a fast food joint. She gets a chance to spend the winter catering for a bunch of rich snobs at their alpine villa, and it isn’t too long before she steps out of her class and falls in love with the rich son. Sure, the subplot of the chalet girl actually being a professional skateboarder who gave up a promising career when her mom died is only there to let director Phil Trail shoot lots of stunt people doing cool things in the snow. But so what? Jones could stand there reading the phone book and you would be hooked.
