Review of Jack Frost (1998) by Brinn O — 08 Dec 2015
As a kid I probably would of gave this movie a three star rating because Back then, I liked anything with Michael Keaton in it. Now, I look at this movie as a missed opportunity. They could of made this movie a really funny family comedy.
Obviously the director intended some drama. But my question is Why. From the trailer it's advertised like it's a comedic family film of sorts. And believe me it's not. It's depressing, sentimental, and slightly pretentious.
Although, there are some to funny moments provided by Keaton, but surely not enough. This movie needed a funny tone from the start. Like having Keaton die in a humorous way on screen, and then maybe having him come back in the end.
Because when you watch a trailer for a movie, with a talking snowman sledding down a hill, you expect it to be pretty much just a comedy. and have transitions like that. What i'm really trying to say is; Find a balance.
This movie doesn't know what genre it is.
