Snow Day (2000)

Rating: 20%
Well now that it's Winter/Christmas time again, I decided to watch a film that I went to see in theaters with my siblings and aunt and uncle when I was a kid. I particularly remember this one because of how it had all these TV spots that were played all the time whenever my siblings and I watched our Saturday cartoons back then. So here's my review for Snow Day.

Plot: Hal is a high schooler who dreams of winning the heart of the popular girl from school, Bonnie who has recently broken up with her boyfriend Chad, while his best friend Lane is in love with him. Meanwhile, his sister Natalie is wishing for a snow day despite the fact that it looks like it won't happen. But then their father Tom, who is a meteorologist in rival with the popular meteorologist  from the other news station, discovers that it's going to snow overnight. Sure enough, it snows very hard with all schools closed and everyone is out to enjoy their day off. But they all face problems throughout their snow day as the rival meteorologist takes the credit for discovering the snow, every guy along with Hal tries to win Bonnie's heart, and the evil Snowplow man tries to ruin Natalie and her friends' snow day.

Yeah. This is a movie that was meant just for kids. It has a number of cliches, the characters are unoriginal, and the acting - most notably from the teenage characters - was weak and the jokes you are most likely to enjoy if you're a kid...maybe not even then. At best, you might like some of the cute moments it has on how it's structured to kids like with how Natalie and her friends have that igloo with the tv and all that, and with their little war against the snowplow man, but at the end of the day, this is a very goofy yet bad film that was meant for kids and is much more enjoyable if your a kid or a kid at heart in some aspect that works with you watching this film.
