Snow Day

A year ago in Syracuse, Natalie Brandston is an excited little girl that it's a snow day. A year later, Natalie is desperate for a snow day but the weather is not cooperating. Her older brother Hal pines for the unattainable Claire. Lane is his best friend. When the snow actually comes, Natalie plans to take down Snow Plow Man to ensure a second snow day.

This is little kids in a Nickelodeon musical remake. I don't like Hal and that's half the movie. I don't really like Natalie either and that's the other half. Making it a musical is at least doing something different than the original movie.

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.

Snow Day is more of a retelling than a remake IMO. It is very light hearted and right in line with other Nickelodeon productions. Sure it's absolutely aimed at a younger audience where the 2000 version that is commonly being used as it's litmus test had a bit more adult oriented humor, with actors that were known for adult humor.

I watched Snow Day with my family and really enjoyed the story. Sure, life is way more involved when you are an adult but when you were a kid, a Snow Day was an unplanned "Get out of jail free" card when routine and responsibility got tossed out the window. Who better to enjoy a story based on that than the generation who still hopes for them every winter. (Or by your inner child remembering trading books and tests for a big hill and a sled!)

I thought the casting was great, the acting was fun, and the musicals that were peppered throughout the movie were right in theme. Except for the fact that now I am overly critical of pancakes for some reason, the only thing I got from this movie was a smile.

Take off your adulting hat before watching and enjoy this with the family.

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.

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.
