Reviews for Jack Frost
With all the realism of a muppet, the snowman tries to deliver the line, 'I love you.' PLEASE!
No story, not enough humor, a silly setup, and a guy in the snowman suit who looks like he didn't make the first cut at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade.
Its sentiment is rote, its truths are culled from a trip down the aisles of a greeting-card shop.
For a movie that should mainly appeal to the 5-to-9 set, Jack Frost often aspires to odd glimmers of adulthood, or at least, teenhood.
One of those dumb, corny concoctions that attempts to be a heartwarming family film, but is too muddled in its own cliches and predictability to be the least bit touching.
