Info

When an entire town in upstate New York is closed down by an unexpected snowfall, a "snow day" begins when a group of elementary school kids, led by Natalie Brandston, try to ensure that the schools stay closed by stopping a mechanical snowplow driver by trying to hijack his plow truck. Meanwhile, Natalie's big brother Hal is using this day to try to win the affections of Claire Bonner, the most popular girl in his high school, while Hal and Natalie's father Tom, a TV meteorologist, faces off against a rival meteorologist for weather coverage of the day's events.

Snow Day Audience Reviews

Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.
Hottoceame The Age of Commercialism
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Sam-953-169285 I could have enjoyed this movie much more if it did not depend on the premise that the snow plow guy is the enemy. The idea is that the snow plow guy takes away snow days by clearing the roads of snow, so he is the enemy. Coincidentally, he is not a nice guy. In real life, most cities have more than one person driving snow plows, right? And not all of them are jerks. So it was difficult for me to get into the idea of the kids doing dirty tricks on the snow plow guy.The romance in the story is too simple. There is not enough depth, it is more like a cliché romance. The writers try to complete the romance by making the boyfriend a big jerk and I think that was overdone. It made the comedy ugly.
dtrent1 I'll give this movie a 6 because half of it was entertaining. Parts of this movie were very funny. The little boy was very funny and the snowplowman was an interesting and amusing character. Chevy Chase was funny as a weather man, but the weather man war was kind of lame. They could have had a better and more entertaining battle. The teen love story just ate up too much time and seemed artificial. The snowmobile chase was a poor attempt to insert some action to keep the viewer awake. I would guess children would like this. It's silly fun. There are no explosions, nobody count, no nudity (but Claire is hot), and no foul language. All the essential ingredients that make bad movies popular are missing.
RechRo I am ashamed to admit I went to see this in the theater when it first came out. My uncle, cousin and I were the only ones in there. The guy in charge of the projector actually turned it off. It was so embarrassing. Calling this a "kid's movie" doesn't excuse it for being a bad movie. The acting is just, unbearable. I would burn all the copies and the negatives. This should have gone straight to video, or perhaps only shown on the Disney channel. Unless you have kids that can appreciate effortless, unfunny movies, or you yourself are a masochist who enjoys torture, then don't watch this. If you are a Chris Elliot fan, rent Something About Mary instead. Unless, of course, if you have kids.
emasterslake Back in 2000 I heard about this movie and wanted to see it, since back then I wanted to see every Nickeleon Movie made.The plot looked funny with some humorous stuff.Only the results didn't come out well.The only thing wrong with this film is it has more romance scenes between 2 teens and less comedy.Has some parts that seem funny but aren't.Can't say it's too enjoyable or entertaining. It's one of them films that are only good seeing once then put back on the self for a long long time.So those who want to see this flick, just don't expect this to be the greatest movie ever. I mean if I were given a choice between this or Good Burger, i'd choose Good Burger cause it had a better plot and funnier stuff.my rate for this one 3/10.
