Jerry Ciccoritti: Last News

“Gladiator II” is — and was Netflix’s most-watched movie of the week.But, bah humbug, the actual film directed by Jerry Ciccoritti is nowhere near as fun or steamy as its cheeky premise would suggest. No bow-chika-wow-wow here. Or much humor either.

Netflix has ushered in the festive season with another Christmas-themed romantic comedy.Directed by Jerry Ciccoritti, Hot Frosty follows Kathy (Lacey Chabert) who, while dealing with the death of her husband, magically brings a handsome snowman to life.The titular Hot Frosty is played by Dustin Milligan, who previously starred in 90210 and Schitt’s Creek. Other cast members in the film include Craig Robinson, Joe Lo Truglio, Katy Mixon Greer, Lauren Holly, Chrishell Stause, and Sherry Miller.Hot Frosty was released November 13, 2024 on Netflix worldwide.The film’s score is by Ari Posner, whose previous credits include Canadian productions like Flashpoint, Anne With An E, and 2022 romantic comedy The End Of Sex.As you might expect, a selection of festive hits are featured in the film, along with tracks by Coldplay and Roy Orbison.You can check out the full list of songs in the film below.‘Jingle Bell Rock’ – Bobby Helms‘Make It Feel Like Christmas’ – Simon Tellier and Victoria Hills‘The Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy’ – Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (EDM version)‘Motor City Santa’ – David Westlake and Nicholas Dover‘Toccata and Fugue in D Minor’ – Johann Sebastian Bach‘Wonderful Time Of Year’ – Jeremy Lister‘Oh, Pretty Woman’ – Roy Orbison‘We Always Had Christmas’ – Madisyn Gifford‘If I Could Touch The Sky’ – Jesse Legallais‘Like A Holiday’ – FaSho‘Jingle Bells’ – Dennis van Aarssen and Jazz Gents‘feelslikeimfallinginlove’ – Coldplay feat.

Courtney Howard Shaking up holiday traditions in irreverently welcome ways, director Jerry Ciccoritti and writer Russell Hainline’s “Hot Frosty” redesigns the look and feel of the familiar snow-made showcase. Their story, centered on a wishful widow who magically transforms a snowman into a hunky rube, balances its sillier aspects with a touching sense of sincerity. They do away with the cartoonish character’s corncob pipe, coal eyes and rotund body, replacing these features with beefy biceps, chiseled bone structure and sculpted abs.

In the new trailer for Netflix’s holiday rom-com “Hot Frosty,” Christmas movie queen Lacey Chabert stars as a widow named Kathy, who magically brings a sexy snowman (“Schitt’s Creek” alum Dustin Milligan) to life. Through his naïveté, the snowman helps Kathy to laugh, feel and love again, as the two fall for each other just in time for the holidays … and before he melts.
