I could have enjoyed this movie much more if it did not depend on the premise that the snow plow guy is the enemy. The idea is that the snow plow guy takes away snow days by clearing the roads of snow, so he is the enemy. Coincidentally, he is not a nice guy. In real life, most cities have more than one person driving snow plows, right? And not all of them are jerks. So it was difficult for me to get into the idea of the kids doing dirty tricks on the snow plow guy.The romance in the story is too simple. There is not enough depth, it is more like a cliché romance. The writers try to complete the romance by making the boyfriend a big jerk and I think that was overdone. It made the comedy ugly.

This film is definitely aimed at young children but being a young at heart adult, I really enjoyed it too. Chevy chase is a true icon and though he only had a small part, it was a pleasure to watch another magnificent performance. I never had a snow day so I can only imagine how much fun I would've had but these kids sure had a good adventure. A wonderful family film that can be enjoyed by all ages. The film is about a boy who is looking for true love and maybe he didn't have to look too far. A young girl who will try anything to get that extra snow day and a meteorologist who just wants the like light he so much deserves. Quality

I am ashamed to admit I went to see this in the theater when it first came out. My uncle, cousin and I were the only ones in there. The guy in charge of the projector actually turned it off. It was so embarrassing. Calling this a "kid's movie" doesn't excuse it for being a bad movie. The acting is just, unbearable. I would burn all the copies and the negatives. This should have gone straight to video, or perhaps only shown on the Disney channel. Unless you have kids that can appreciate effortless, unfunny movies, or you yourself are a masochist who enjoys torture, then don't watch this. If you are a Chris Elliot fan, rent Something About Mary instead. Unless, of course, if you have kids.

In my opinion snow day is the greatest movie of all time. It is the story of a group of oppressed youth in upper state New York who band together to stop the evil snowplow man, who is robbing them of their second snow day. Led by a brave young girl they stage a revolution not unlike the French or Russian revolution. Snow plowman is beaten, tied to a stop sign and left to die. This film was a touching and inspirational story of the power of everyone, and what happens if we work together to make the world a better place. Those who find it a stupid children's movie need to look past the mundane parts with the boy and look to the deeper meaning of the story. I hope everyone can follow Natalie's lead and eliminate the snowplow men in our own lives. We don't have to take it!
