New York PostLou Lumenick
Makes the most of its wintry settings and never insults the audience's intelligence -- no mean feat for a family film. It's a real crowd-pleaser. Read full review

Baltimore SunChris Kaltenbach
In this day of overstuffed action flicks and dumbed-down "comedies," (Snow Day) is kinda refreshing. Read full review

Philadelphia InquirerCarrie Rickey
A light-as-powder family comedy. Read full review

L.A. WeeklyNicole Campos
Fortunately, everything comes together splendidly in the last act, and the kids and grown-ups are all first-rate. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineSteve Simels
Mildly amusing and as obvious as it is good-natured. Read full review

Seattle Post-IntelligencerWilliam Arnold
It's an original and rather clever premise, but first-time director Chris Koch doesn't do anything with it. Read full review

Takes a vacation from quality. Read full review

New York Daily NewsJack Mathews
Chevy Chase looks tired, Pam Grier looks embarrassed, and pop star Iggy Pop gives a performance that -- if you can believe it -- is even sillier than his name. Read full review

Chicago Sun-TimesRoger Ebert
An uninspired assembly of characters and story lines that interrupt one another. Read full review

USA TodaySusan Wloszczyna
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. Read full review

TNT RoughCutGraham Verdon
Wear your boots to this one, but because of the crap, not the snow.

Village VoiceLael Loewenstein
A family film that's about as fluffy as fresh powder. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesRobin Rauzi
Isn't for teens, it's for the kids who aspire to be teens. Read full review

San Francisco ChroniclePeter Stack
Chase is so dull in this film, he looks as if he's sleepwalking. Read full review

Chicago ReaderLisa Alspector
This grasping comedy targets kids of all ages but will please no one as it exploits exhausted ideas about adolescence. Read full review

Washington PostDesson Thomson
There's little here to offend anyone, and even less here to excite anyone. Read full review

The New York TimesA. O. Scott
Fails both as arrested-development farce and as teen-age romantic comedy. Read full review
