Summary: It's Not Tootsie, but...
Review: I'm 30 years old. If I want funny, I go to Woody Allen. But, this film surprised me. It's not Tootsie, but if you're a parent, you're not looking for a night at the Oscars. You're looking for a fun family flick that can for once lay off the football-in-the-crotch jokes and less overt adult references we assume the kids don't catch. (I for one give the little lads a little more credit.) The movie's simple, creative, even smart, dealing with the challenges and pain of early adolescence in an honest but responsible way. Both Chevy Chase and Chris Elliot take it down a notch for an even, sure-footed film.

Summary: Unsettling
Review: I'm still in high school, but from what I know about parents, any adult will find themselves having nightmares, especially if these kids are anything close to real kids that age. Let's sum up some things that would make a mother scream,Child runs out in snow wearing only underwear and blue paint, electrical televisions in a snow hut, children operating heavy machinary (ie snowmobile chases and snowplow driving). Oh, and how about the french kissing in a Nickelodeon movie.. Not really what I expected.:There is more emphahis on the relationships of the teens, and less of the ... kids. So have at it, see if you like it. I mean, eating french fries with ketchup off a kid laying in the middle of the road is an original idea if I ever saw one

Summary: But please remember the pro and con of Snow Day
Review: If you are wondering what the pro and con of a Snow Day are. Then here they are. The pro is you get a day off from school. The con is that you will have to go back 2 to school at the end of the year to make up for the Snow Day(s). But suppose if you worked a job (other than being a teacher or other staff member at a school), I'm not sure on how it would be worked if they had to close for a snow day to. In Snow Day there are kids, teenagers and adults who are rivals for what they want. The kids want to enjoy the snow day, but their rival is the evial snowplowman (Chris Elliot). There's a high school student named Hal (Mark Webber) who has now a new girlfreind that seems to don't know that he lives. And he has to go up against her ex-boyfriend (David Paetkau) to win her. While his dad Tom Brandson (Chevy Chase) who wants to wear pants while he does the wheather but his boss (Pam Grier) that tells him to get the rating of his rival and she will let him wear pants on the air. My thoughts on Snow Day are, that if you like movies with people going up against rivals and enjoyed Snow Day, I reccomend you to watch Max Keeble's Big Move. Watching Chevy Chase playing a whatherman who wears costumes on air reminds me of Max Keeble's dad. Because Max's dad had to wear costumes to work at times. My Suggestions: Parents if your kids want to watch a film, I reccomend you to know what the rating is. And toi watch the film ahead of time and decide to let your kids watch a film that doesn't have a G rating (like this). Snow Day is a good movie to watch if you like movies in which characters go up against thier "rivals" to get what they want like this and Max Keeble's Big Move. Or if you have a kid that like Nicolden's films I also reccomend you to let your kids watch this. Or this is a good movie to watch, if you are a fan of a actor or actress that is in this film. So if it is any of the above reasons, I strongly reccomed you to watch this movie. Even if it is not a snow day.

Summary: Insulting
Review: Is this what we've come to accept as a good picture? Have we swallowed Hollywood's drivel so faithfully that they can pawn this off on us as a decent effort? As my caption suggests, I was literally insulted by the "plots" on this film. The premise is great. I lived for snow days when I was young. And it was the premise that got me out to see it. Well, that and Chevy Chase. But Chase hasn't done a watchable film since "Christmas Vacation". I keep hoping he'll break whatever slump he's in, and this movie WAS better than his other recent efforts. But the weakness of "Snowday" is not in the acting. I mean, the acting is not stellar by any standard, but you don't really expect it to be in this kind of film. You just want to be entertained. However, in order to entertain, a film - ANY film, including low-ball comedies like this - must have 1) a discernible protagonist, 2) a shred of believability, and 3) likeable characters. "Snowday" is lacking in the above categories. The "protagonist" is an adolescent boy who only wants to date the most popular girl in school. In doing so he shuns his adorable little sister and his best friends. He pursues the popular girl, and against the odds, she falls for him and even makes the move to kiss him. Sound good? Here are a few problems. First, this popular girl is an absolute sweetheart. She's been mistreated and ignored by a jerk boyfriend for too long. You feel bad for her. You really like her. As a result, you WANT them to end up together. But of course, they don't. After the kiss, in a moment of clarity, our hero realizes that he is in love with his quite unattractive, redheaded lifelong pal. The writers made the fatal flaw in this plot line of making us LIKE the popular girl. She had no flaws and you feel bad for her, so as a result you're actually MAD at the hero when he rejects her. Also, there are many storylines that just aren't woven together well. We're not sure who the main character is supposed to be (it doesn't seem to be the narrator - the adolescent older brother - since his story is in the background). The problem is that they did not focus enough on the "fun" aspect of this film, the snow day itself. They spent too much time on this kid trying to get this popular girl (whom he then rejects) and that had NOTHING to do with a snow day, other than the mantra he kept repeating, "Anything can happen on a snow day..." It could have been any day of the week. I suppose kids will like it, but even kids should have the basic elements of a good story presented to them.

Summary: Are we having fun yet?
Review: Most storys intended for kids usually have some kind of general moral idea to them. This movie is no different. So I'll make this easy for you. Instead of seeing the movie and showing it to your kids, I'll just give you some moral leasons you can teach them without even watching this cheese movie. Stealing. That's right kids! Steal is fun and benifial! Steal a Snowmobile from a bully to escape! Steal a plow truck and drive through a city! THese things are fun and theres nothing wrong with them. Nothing will happen to you either! Oh, I forgot, steal peoples pets too! Lets say you want a car to stop for you. Don't call out, simply lay in the road and wait for them to stop on a nice snow packed road! Are we having fun yet? Well make sure after you steal a plow truck to naturaly get your friends to tie up the driver! Want to change a song at an ice skating rink? No problem! Decieve the owner into leaving for a second then lock him out of his own business! then your are free to change the music to what ever you want! Problem solved! Need to tell something to someone? Simple wait for a news person to have an accident and then get infront of the camera and you can talk away! this is great! Hey kids, don't like your principal at school? wait till he is not looking and throw snow balls at him for a whole day! want to watch tv in your snow fort? Go for it! electricity is fun! I could probably say more. I geuss if you really want your kids to fully benifit from this movie, you'll have to rent it and give them a full example of all the great things to do on a snow day. or you could rent clock work orange at let them watch that! it's fun for the whole family!

Summary: By far the worst movie ever made.
Review: Snow day appauled me. It physically hurt me to watch this movie. What made this movie so bad?? EVERYTHING. All this movie consists of is the assault of a harmless snowplow man and weather reporter. I never even wanted to see this movie, but the fact that Chevy Chase was in it duped me into watching it.
