SNOW DAY has some surprises, including a set of superhero figures
that comes to life (via a little girl's imagination), a droll Iggy
Pop cameo as an Al Martino-obsessed skating rink owner ("Metallica
sucks" he snarls), and the adorable image of an Oshkosh P-series
snowplough as operated by kids barely able to see over the steering
wheel. Cute. There's a touching teen love story, too, and it
ain't even gag-inducing. Amazing. Alas, it's the *rest* of this
Jean Smart/Chevy Chase/Chris Elliott/Pam Grier-starring family film
that's forgettable. Well, that is, unless you're under the age of
adult... Chris Koch directs. (Rated "PG"/85 min.)
Grade: C-
