This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

A different way of telling a story

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Blistering performances.

This is a fantastic Christmas movie for young girls who still believe in Santa. I am going to give you a bit of a PLOT SPOILER review since I suspect parents do the buying. Jessie is sadden by her best friend Bobby moving away. She is moping and crying. The parents decide to bring in Aunt Millie to help. She arrives the day before Christmas and is dressed like the eccentric aunt in "Bewitched." To make Jessie feel better, she tells her about a story of a girl named Katie. Katie loved to skate and was taught by an Olympic gold medalist. She was his only pupil. When the mill closes down, Katie's family moves to the city where she is tormented by a gang of girls who also skate. Meanwhile at the North Pole a magical Reindeer is born who sounds a bit like Whoopie Goldberg. As a magical Reindeer, Blizzard seeks out Katie, whose sadness she feels in her heart.She helps Katie through this difficult time and gives her the courage to skate in front of her gang of bullies. Eventually through a series of events the rival girls become friends and Blizzard goes back to the North Pole. Jessie stops moping and goes outside to make a new friend. This is a great heartwarming story about friendship.I am not sure how this movie slipped under the radar. It is one that should be shown on TV every year along with Christmas Story. Perhaps the reason the movie is not more popular is that it does seem to target the young female audience. Even the "bad guy" who enforces the rules is likable. Santa is slightly deaf in a funny sort of way. He hears things slightly off.Highly recommended. And Aunt Millie...well let's just say her middle name begins with the letter "K."

I just found it to be a great Christmas movie, that you can enjoy with your loved ones. I especially liked it since it's about living your dreams, plus it has no "bad Santa" or weird robots trying to destroy Christmas. I don't think that that kind of movie is that appropriate or in the spirit of Christmas. I'm not saying that the subject of this movie is actually real, but it seems to be closer to ones heart and I think it brings a lot of joy. Blizzard is very funny, and the little girl ice-skating is just too cute! It's a story about a very special friendship that will leave behind a lot of wonderful memories. Plus, it's about ice-skating, which I love! Have a great time watching it!

This is a wonderful film. It is both creative and heartfelt and truly well done. I loved the reindeer they were great. this film shows that there art still film makers out there who believe in mankind enough to create movies that show the better side of this world not the evil most film makers seem to harp on. We buy this film on DVD and it will become a Chritmas tradition. It would be refreshing to see more of this type of film with morals that show that there is still enough good people out there that take the time to make a difference by creating films of value and what life should be like.With all the nonsense that we face every day and the world we live in we need to see the better side of life.The only negative comment I have is the fact the little girl Kate has pierced ears and should not have. Kids back then did not do that until they were at least 16( Iknow it is just a little detail but I find those things take away from the film it is the little details that can make or brake a film.It is more pleasing to watch something that is well thought out including all details) On the whole my family and friends loved this film and hope there are more out there. Thanks

Our family just finished watching this movie tonight. We wanted to spend the Thanksgiving weekend together and went to find an appropriate movie for all of us. Our first pick was "Christmas with the Kranks", but they were sold out at our local video store. I had never heard of "Blizzard" but the G rating as opposed to everything else available PG13, hooked me in. There are 4 children, ages 5-10 in our home and mom and dad make 6. I think it was a great film for the family and would recommend it to anyone wanting to get into the Christmas spirit. It was the kind of movie that made everyone "feel good" on the inside after watching it. I think all our kids thoroughly enjoyed it, and it wasn't beneath our 10yr old (daughter) who said "I'm glad you picked this movie mom." Great "family movie night" film! The importance of good quality films in the society we live in has been overlooked for too long and I am all for the reintroduction of character-building stories like what we saw tonight. The 2 story lines going on at the same time reminded me of "The Princess Bride", which is one of our family's favorites. I liked the fact that there was reality that even good wholesome characters make mistakes sometimes and that it is not the end of the world; there is forgiveness and second chances. It teaches our kids that we don't live in a perfect world and there are disappointments and we must learn to deal with them and grow from there. I'm glad the movie we wanted, wasn't available or we may never have seen this.
