Mark Webber, Schuyler Fisk, Chevy Chase

Anything can happen on a snow day. So it's too bad the winter's been unseasonably warm, and there's nothing that Chevy Chase--weatherman and father of three--can do about it. But what if it miraculo...( read more  read more... )usly snowed enough to close the school? Perhaps the oldest son would have a chance to date the most popular girl in school, his sister might have more time to play with him, their mother would act more like a mom and less like a workaholic, and Chase might even be given the chance to be a respected meteorologist who didn't have to wear stupid costumes on the TV news. When the snow does fall, these dreams slowly transform into reality, of course. There are no big surprises in Snow Day, and children will enjoy its genial jokes and good-natured slapstick. Adults may get a kick out of Iggy Pop's portrayal of an ice rink manager who plays nothing but wonderfully unpopular Al Martino songs. Chris Elliott (Get a Life) also has a small role as "the creepy guy with a plow" who, because he plows the streets, is the enemy of snow day lovers everywhere. Ultimately, Snow Day is predicable family fluff. --Andy Spletzer

    Damn funny.
  • July 4, 2007
    A light-hearted and low-budget comedy. It's filler for the kids, I suppose. There's nothing too memorable in this thing.

    Pointless in a way only family comedies are, this is just a loose collection of weak jokes based around a day. With snow in it. At least it's not as bad (or creepy) as Jack Frost.
