To me, this movie is perfection.

One of my all time favorites.

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

I remember seeing this when it first came to video. Even at a young age, I knew something was wrong. The story it told was bizarre. It tries to balance teen-romantic comedy with Home Alone style kiddie hijinks. Those really don't go together. I can see how you can thread together multiple plots and characters during a single day (It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World did it perfectly so many years ago), but these filmmakers, and ESPECIALLY Nickelodeon weren't prepared to make something like that work. Chris Elliot's Snowplow Man is also such a hateful character. This was during the time when Chris Elliot was somehow in every comedy movie, because for some reason, everyone thought he was hilarious in There's Something About Mary (that would be half-right). Also, I don't dig Chevy Chase comedy. Not one bit. Snow Day is a conundrum.

When a town in New York is closed down by an unexpected snowfall, a "snow day" begins when a group of school kids, led by Natalie Brandston, try to ensure that the schools stay closed by stopping a snowplow driver by trying to hijack his truck. Natalie's big brother Hal is using this day to try to win the affections of Claire Bonner, the most popular girl in his high school, while Hal and Natalie's father Tom, a TV meteorologist, faces off against a rival meteorologist for weather coverage of the day's events......The only reason I even contemplated watching this was for Chase, just to see if there was still a little of the magic he gave us in the eighties, and early nineties. Well I can put your curiosity to rest, there is very little, but when he's on screen, the film is at its strongest.The rest of the film is your typical teen comedy. Boy trying to get girl, girls ex boyfriend trying to bully the entire town, and some sort of fantasy sub plot involving action figures, and Chris Elliott.Oh and of course, the guy who fancies the good looking girl, has a best friend, who is a girl, who is in love with him.Oh pray, I wonder how it will all turn out?.It isn't terrible.

Back in 2000 I heard about this movie and wanted to see it, since back then I wanted to see every Nickeleon Movie made.The plot looked funny with some humorous stuff.Only the results didn't come out well.The only thing wrong with this film is it has more romance scenes between 2 teens and less comedy.Has some parts that seem funny but aren't.Can't say it's too enjoyable or entertaining. It's one of them films that are only good seeing once then put back on the self for a long long time.So those who want to see this flick, just don't expect this to be the greatest movie ever. I mean if I were given a choice between this or Good Burger, i'd choose Good Burger cause it had a better plot and funnier stuff.my rate for this one 3/10.

Tom Brandston (Chevy Chase) is the weather man of a television, fighting for recognition of his skill and knowledge. His son Hal Brandston (Mark Webber) has a crush on Claire Bonner (Emmanuelle Chriqui) and does not pay attention on the affection of his friend Lane Leonard (Schuyler Fisk). His sister Natalie Brandston (Zena Grey) wants to stop Roger the Snowplowman (Chris Elliot), the terror of the children. Tom's wife is a workaholic businesswoman, who leaves her family in second plane, giving more attention to her job. The story takes place along a snow day in Syracuse. This movie is very silly, and maybe children may have some fun. My vote is four.Title (Brazil): `Quebrando o Gelo' (Breaking the Ice')
