Critics Consensus

Weak assembly of characters and story lines made this movie forgettable and silly.

The whole film seems pretty plastic, as if written by a computer.

Casting any movie for kids with both Elliott and Chevy Chase is the cinematic equivalent of child abuse.

This was not fun. I didn't like any of the characters, the storylines were absurd, and this movie was very creepy when it came towards the Claire character.

This could have easily been a 20 minute episode of some random Nickelodeon show. Completely pointless and lacking any kind of charm or interesting characters.

The beginning was cute, but around the 30 minute mark it became too silly to keep watching.

Critics got this one wrong. "Snow Day" is a fun family romp. When the schools close it's up to Hal Brandston (Mark Webber) and his little sister Natalie to thwart the villainous snowplow man Roger Stubblefield (Chris Elliott), but Hal has his own plans. Believing that anything can happen on a snow day he sets out to win over the most popular girl in school, Claire Bonham. But, his best friend Lane (Schuyler Fisk) is hoping that he will fall for her instead. An ensemble cast featuring Chevy Chase, Jean Smart and Josh Peck are also featured. Originally conceived as a film adaptation of "The Adventures of Pete and Pete", "Snow Day" delivers hijinks, laughs and wholesomeness.

The Branstons have their own personal lives. Natalie and her friends are dealing with Snowplowman, Hal has an ankle bracelet to return to a girl, Tom is competing with Chad Symmons for best meteorologist, and Laura is a busy busy women for meetings.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

I really enjoyed wathcing this movie. It is fun and gave me some laughs. It is absolutely a boiler plate 00's teen movie in terms of story line, but I feel that is partly what I think makes it so good now. I would suggest ignoring the low ratings. Naturally you should not expect a contender to The Godfather, but instead an easy movie, that feels familiar and fun
