Review of Snow Day

Snow Day (2000)
7/10
Seen it many times and it's a mini classic

Snow Day is on TV at least once a year usually around late November or early December, and I try to watch it each time. It's a good movie and I think it's a bit underrated. There are 3 sub plots throughout, each one is entertaining in its own right but my favourite by far is Hal's crush on Claire even tho his best friend, Lane, is the one who really likes him. Both girls are super cute and Hal is likeable so it comes together nicely.

It's worth pointing out the star studded cameos in this movie. We have Chevy Chase as a weatherman reporter, Iggy Pop who runs the ice rink, and Chris Elliot as the plow man, who is the movies main villain. It's unusual to see these three guys in a film like this but they're funny and it works out ok.

One last thing. The movie poster is very misleading. We have a kid raising his hand in the air on the cover and then all our main characters in the background. You could arguably take Claire off the cover and replace her with the little sisters' friend or friends, who have big roles in the movie, and the kid raising his hand in the air is Hal's friend, who is hardly in the movie at all and his name I can't ever remember, should not be on the main cover of this poster. Also not sure why Chevy Chase's head is buried in the snow like he's a bad guy or something, it's also misleading. End of my rant lol.
