Reader comments: Jack Frost
AVI GREEN | Sept. 30, 2001
Jack Frost is a stupefyingly awful fantasy that managed to
melt Keaton's career faster than you could say "guitar".
Try suspending your disbelief for a moment and you'll see
just how unbelievable it all is: The family is so behind in
debts, and yet they can afford a cabin on a hilltop, the
music that Keaton's band plays is hopelessly out of date,
as it has been since the early 70's, and the snow...well,
the snow is so fake that you can only wonder why they even
bothered making this hack job in the first place; it's
nothing more than bits of plastic falling down from a
gaffer's bridge up above. And the sentiment is so fake that
I had to cover my eyes in utter embarrassment. The snowman,
who looks like the Pillsbury doughboy on steroids, is so
loathsome in design that I think it best not to say which 2
companies were repsonsible for building it. I will,
however, point out that it shall be remembered, if at all,
for a most memorably awful line: "Well I guess snow dad is
better than no dad." Groan...please, spare us this clunker
for evermore.

i just saw the holiday movie jack frost and it is a very
stupid movie.
who ever thought this was a good idea for a movie must not
have seen this piece of crap film.
the acting is bad, the direction is awful and the special
effects are very chessy.
i can't belive that jim henson's creature shop created the
snowman for this very bady comedy.
the snowman looks creepy and not fun to watch.
as a matter of fact the whole movie is unwatcheable.
jack frost is one of the worst movies of 1998 it really
sucked.
i hated this film.

I loved the movie. I have seen it twice now, once with my
daughter and her friend, and then with my wife. I'm sorry but
I guess I like cheesy and worn out. I laughed and cried, and
secretly wish my own deceased parents come back just once no
matter what form it was. I can hardly wait till I can take my
other kids to see it.
