snow day [snou dei] n. :a day off from school due to inclement weather resulting in monster migraines for adults and wild unadulterated joy for kids.
There's nothing cooler than a Snow Day. It's like someone gave you the best birthday present ever -- and it's not even your birthday! A Snow Day means no school, no rules and endless possibilities.
Anything can happen on a Snow Day -- and for Hal and Natalie Brandston, it does.
For 15-year-old Hal, "anything" means the determination to declare his love for the girl of his dreams, high school heartthrob Claire Bonner. Who cares if Claire's beautiful and popular and doesn't even know he exists? So what if Claire's almost-ex-boyfriend, superjock Chuck Wheeler, is his competition? Snow Day magic is a powerful thing. And with Hal's pals Bill and Lane to cheer him on, this day is destined to change his life forever. Though maybe not exactly as he planned...
While Hal's out attempting to win Claire's heart, his 10-year-old sister Natalie is driven to action by the object of her own desire: the legendary Second Snow Day. The stuff of miracles, the Second Snow Day represents the ultimate triumph of kids over the dull day-to-day adult world. Second Snow Days are so rare that no one Natalie knows has ever experienced one. Why?
The dreaded Snowplowman, who crushes kids' hopes with the chains on his tires. But this year, Natalie's gonna change all that. And nothing can stand in her way -- not even Snowplowman!
When the sun sets on this spectacular Snow Day will Hal be found cuddling with Claire? Will Natalie have succeeded in her quest for the coveted Second Snow Day? Will parents everywhere pray for a heat wave? We're certainly not going to tell you! Find out for yourself when you catch Snow Day, the season's coolest comedy!

Reviews for Snow Day
In its attempt to recreate the elation a blizzard brings to children, "Snowday" slips and slides all over itself.
For those with the misfortune to see the inept new comedy Snow Day, the pleasant feelings associated with the title phrase may well be eradicated forever.
It's all but impossible to resist a movie in which a teenager sees something startling and is moved to exclaim, 'Man, oh man of La Mancha!'
Most of the material in the movie is so familiar it makes your teeth itch.
Unless you have a craving to watch a sluggish Ski-Doo race or want to admire Chase dressed as a hula dancer, consider this the cinematic equivalent of yellow snow.
Given the choice of seeing this movie again or eating the yellow snow . . . pass the catsup.
Chase's fans are likely to be appalled by the movie in store for them.
