New York Post Lou Lumenick
Makes the most of its wintry settings and never insults the audience's intelligence -- no mean feat for a family film. It's a real crowd-pleaser.
Read Full Review >Baltimore Sun Chris Kaltenbach
In this day of overstuffed action flicks and dumbed-down "comedies," (Snow Day) is kinda refreshing.
Read Full Review >Chicago Tribune Lou Carlozo
Succeeds in bringing the best attributes of Nickelodeon TV to the big screen.
Read Full Review >Portland Oregonian Bob Thomas
The humor is on the level of flatulence by a chubby boy.
Read Full Review >LA Weekly Nicole Campos
Fortunately, everything comes together splendidly in the last act, and the kids and grown-ups are all first-rate.
Read Full Review >Seattle Post-Intelligencer William Arnold
It's an original and rather clever premise, but first-time director Chris Koch doesn't do anything with it.
Read Full Review >Film.com Tom Keogh
Not a waste of time, but not quite in control of its destination.
Read Full Review >Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert
An uninspired assembly of characters and story lines that interrupt one another.
Read Full Review >USA Today Susan Wloszczyna
Unless you have a craving to watch a sluggish Ski-Doo race or want to admire Chase dressed as a hula dancer, consider this the cinematic equivalent of yellow snow.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Jack Mathews
Chevy Chase looks tired, Pam Grier looks embarrassed, and pop star Iggy Pop gives a performance that -- if you can believe it -- is even sillier than his name.
Read Full Review >TNT RoughCut Graham Verdon
Wear your boots to this one, but because of the crap, not the snow.
Los Angeles Times Robin Rauzi
Isn't for teens, it's for the kids who aspire to be teens.
Read Full Review >Village Voice Lael Loewenstein
A family film that's about as fluffy as fresh powder.
Read Full Review >San Francisco Chronicle Peter Stack
Chase is so dull in this film, he looks as if he's sleepwalking.
Read Full Review >Chicago Reader Lisa Alspector
This grasping comedy targets kids of all ages but will please no one as it exploits exhausted ideas about adolescence.
Read Full Review >Washington Post Desson Thomson
There's little here to offend anyone, and even less here to excite anyone.
Read Full Review >The New York Times A. O. Scott
Fails both as arrested-development farce and as teen-age romantic comedy.
Read Full Review >Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman
Even Snow Day's winter wonderland looks fake.

[Anonymous] gave it a 10:
This was a very good movie!
Ryan M. gave it a 0:
It tries so hard to be funny that the plan backfires in the process.
Cole L. gave it a 1:
A cheesy movie with bad laughs and just down right not funny acting. At the end I got up and said, "I just wasted 89 minutes of my life to just sit in front of the screen and rot."
