Snow Day

This appears to be a remake of Snow Day. It was cute however the original is definitely superior. This was more of a musical which was interesting as I love musicals. It was not a total bust however it is definitely something that will either be for you or not. The acting wasn't horrible, however you can tell it wasn't the best. There were parts that were a little awkward bit but cute film to check out if interested!

This is a film featuring a group of kids hopeful for a snow day, and they try to do anything they can to ensure that happens. The story focuses on a set of siblings, and their wish for a snow day.

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.

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.

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.

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....
