Snow Day

Anything can happen on a snow day!!

Okay, this movie isn't perfect, and several of the songs are forgettable, but much of the cast in this is really good and I think they did a better job with the pacing of this than the original. The storyline with the parents handcuffed by the kid was probably the weakest of the side plots, but I think the good aspects of this outshine the weaker ones. Michaela Russel shines with youthful optimism that I think tops that of the girl from the original. I've always loved Mark Webber from the original, but I think Ky Baldwin does a better job of showing the painful awkwardness of the character. Claire's interest in Hal is done better here, through the attachment she has to the whale necklace. The scene is not about his whale snow sculpture but rather his special the necklace is, and not because the dumb jock boyfriend gave it to her.

The achievement of the second snow day is a LOT more believable here than in the original and I liked the change of the crow to an AI robot. It served the story pretty well and probably saved them the trouble of having to rent a real bird for the shoot.

Again, it isn't a perfect movie, but I don't think the target audience will care about that. Not gonna lie, though, how Lane changed out of her skates so quickly for the big finale musical number is beyond me....

Most of these 1 star reviews are coming from adults who were the target age when the first movie came out and are upset that the sequel 20 years later wasn't made with them in mind. Youre in your mid 30s and it's a children's movie about a snow day. Take a breath and calm down. It's everything you would expect from a Nick musical but pretty well made. Some of the musical numbers are pretty good for the caliber of production I was expecting. Was able to watch it with our YouTube TV subscription with only 3 commercials. Not bad at all. If you have school aged children, give it a shot. It's not going to win an Oscar but it's better than most of the mass produced trash on Netflix these days.

Only saw a trailer and already dont want to watch it.

Exact remake and trying with every character and bird to recreate an original. The 2000 movie was funny and original and good. This already seemed awful.

The acting is typical nickelodeon and the writing has no imagination. Why not make a sequel.of the original? Then you had a good start and something to build on.

Why cant they make these young actors act? They all do the same bad acting.

The writing these days is non imaginative.

The directing and producing is always awful with these kind of movies. They are all the same bad quality.

Be original and be better.

This is an unnecessary, annoying and stupid remake of a cute movie. The kids are not cute, the little girl's voice is obnoxious and no one is remotely interesting.

I usually love musicals, so I'm really disappointed.

I saved it on our watchlist because my husband loves the original Snow Day. I thought he'd really enjoy this. Unfortunately, he only could stand 15 minutes of this.

I do not recommend this. Maybe little kids will like it. Maybe.

I'll rewarch the classic Snow Day with Chevy Chase, Jean Smart, John Schneider, Chris Elliott, Mark Webber and Josh Peck. And I'll try to forget that I attempted this horrible mess.

The singing is unbearable, the songs are awful, the acting is so bad, and i just couldn't take it. Snow Day did NOT need a remake, and most certainly did not need to be a musical. The voices of the children were just making my head hurt and it was very cheesy. The movie also kind of felt like a rip off instead of a remake. I really just didn't enjoy it. The choreography was also not my absolute favorite. I would not add this onto my christmas watchlist. I get it is for kids but even my kids did not enjoy it. They did not enjoy the acting or singing, i showed them the original snow day and they liked it much better.
