TeenzTen An action-packed slog

Manthast Absolutely amazing

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Hitchcoc So Dad comes back as a snowman. Not just any snowman but a foul mouthed, tiresome snowman. If the premise isn't ridiculous enough, it is designed to pull at our heartstrings. But I never could get over Michael Keaton's boorish performance. He has become one of our best actors, but there was a time when he was making pure junk and this, to me, was one of the lowest of the low. I really can't believe that there is so little imagination in Hollywood sometimes. There are budgets to do this kind of stuff, but if a quality idea comes along, forget it. Always go for the lowest common denominator. There are few films where I wish I had my money back. This is one of them.

Python Hyena Jack Frost (1998): Dir: Troy Miller / Cast: Michael Keaton, Joseph Cross, Kelly Preston, Mark Addy, Henry Rollins: Depressing family film with a character given the title name. What kind of nit-pick bullshit is that? Could they not give him a name of more normal presentation? It just sounds like cruel parenting. The concept fails because the magic harmonica is never explained and just sounds like a dumb plot device. Instead it gets reduced to formula that becomes as much fun as a snow covered rock to the head. Michael Keaton plays Jack Frost, a musician who spends less time with his family. A nasty storm sends his car off the road and he is pronounced dead. His son plays the magic harmonica and the result is a talking snowman. We know that he will attempt to conceal him from his mother, and he will eventually melt giving an ending of all the quality of yellow snow. Director Troy Miller has fun with the visuals but that is pretty much all the film has going for it. Keaton is a likable comic actor but this is far beneath his talent. In flat supporting roles are Joseph Cross as his son. Kelly Preston is cardboard as his wife. Mark Addy has the thankless role as best friend who sticks around after the accident. One could say that he stuck around too long if he had any hint that this sh*t storm would be good. The snowman doesn't melt nearly as fast as the screenplay. Score: 2 / 10

BatDrew Watching this movie for the first time in years and it still makes me tear up! For a Christmas comedy film, it handles the subject of loss very well. It shows how hard it can be to move on especially in the circumstances but then allows the second chance for Jack to be a father and Charlie to spend an extra bit of time with his dad and get a chance to say goodbye.This movie has some good music which sticks with you after it has ended especially Landslide by Fleetwood Mac always makes me think of Charlie out in building the snowman.I looked this movie up as I watched it and was so surprised of the low score it had received across the internet! Think that it deserves higher and would recommend this movie to anyone looking for a good, heartwarming Christmas movie for all the family.

lisafordeay I mean seriously why the 4.9 rating?? I found nothing wrong with this movie. It had a nice story and the cast was great,I always liked Micheal Keaton from his Batman days and I thought he did a terrific job in this movie. The story is about a work-ethic musician named Jack Frost who dies of a car crash one winters night. So his son Charlie plays the harmonic that he gave him and he is magically reincarnated as a snowman. YES A SNOWMAN hilarious right?? So Jack in his new form spends the Christmas with Charlie and they spend some father/son time together.Yes its a bit stupid and silly in a way for having Micheal Keaton being reincarnated as a snowman and he should have been reincarnated as a human instead but still I loved the scenes that his son and himself spend together. John Travolta's wife Kelly Preston from The Last Song plays his wife who has had it with Jack and his band because he never spends the time with them. So why do I like this movie a lot. Well like I said the story was great and everything so why is it considered one of the most saddest movie of all time next to The Lion King and Marley & Me well you just have to watch the ending to find out. So grab those Kleenex Tissues and get your families together the next Christmas Season as you will be needing them.Im giving this movie an 8/10 because well I liked it and I still like this movie up to this very day. I must have seen it 20 times or more and it still makes me cry at the age of 22.
