Critic Reviews

Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
A surprisingly effective debut effort from writer-director Robert Kirbyson.
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
The kids are charming and the supporting cast lift this comedy from above its direct-to-video ambitions.
Mike Scott, Times-Picayune
A sweet but wholly artificial bit of family entertainment.
Russ Breimeier, Christianity Today
Funny, engaging, thought-provoking, meaningful, and one of the best family movies I've seen in a long time.
John Beifuss, Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
A pleasant surprise: a sometimes offbeat if ultimately reassuring kids' film that compares favorably to the 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid' adaptations.
Diego Costa, Slant Magazine
Here the yardstick for measuring existential accomplishment is to beat someone at something in the most spectacular way possible.
Justin Strout, Orlando Weekly
Snowmen gets more tolerable as it reaches its life-and-death conclusion, but getting there is like watching a school play when none of your kids are in it.
