    Not sure what to make of this movie. Musician dad drives off a cliff one Christmas. A year later, he comes back as a snowman??? So he has until spring to make up for all his absences. So it is sappy, I still watched it.

    A casual comedy starts really sweet and funny and turns out to be a children movie. The kid was actually good.
