The path of true love may not be smooth but it is predictable in Christmas in the Clouds, a wisp of a movie set in a Utah ski resort run by a Native American tribe.

Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times

Kate Montgomery's agreeably schmaltzy rom-com tempers its near terminal folksiness with stereotype-tweaking irony.

Mark Holcomb, Village Voice

While you may have seen the story before, the offbeat characters and the movie location make you feel like you're treading new ground.

John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press

While Vahle and Tosca are the most attractive people onscreen, they are the least interesting characters.

Not quite laugh-out-loud funny, but pleasant.
