Review of Snow Day (2000) by Calum B — 15 Nov 2012

Snow Day felt like the fake chrismas trees you see in the stores. Going into it, I didn't have huge expectations. After seeing the previews on TV, I knew it was from Nickalodean and it felt very "Pete & Pete"ish. I was a fan of the Pete & Pete show for some strange reason.

The biggest problem of the movie is the large cast of supporting characters, too many probably for a two-hour movie, let alone this one that clocks at 90 minutes including end titles.

Chevy Chase has been in what can nicely be called more than his share of bad movies, but at least he knows how to deliver a laugh when he's given one. I wish there was more of him in this film.

Chris Elliott, as funny as he is, could not save the snow plow character. I don't think anyone could, and with the exception of the plot involving the snowplow man, the film may have been better.

And may-be it's just me, but I'm really getting sick of the whole best friend is obviously in love with main character, but main character is blind and believes he loves the popular girl story. It's been told too many times...
