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.

63
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
A light-as-powder family comedy.

63
Baltimore Sun
Chris Kaltenbach
In this day of overstuffed action flicks and dumbed-down "comedies," (Snow Day) is kinda refreshing.

63
Chicago Tribune
Lou Carlozo
Succeeds in bringing the best attributes of Nickelodeon TV to the big screen.

58
Portland Oregonian
Bob Thomas
The humor is on the level of flatulence by a chubby boy.

50
Charlotte Observer
Lawrence Toppman
Offers an amusing break to the undemanding.

50
LA Weekly
Nicole Campos
Fortunately, everything comes together splendidly in the last act, and the kids and grown-ups are all first-rate.

50
TV Guide
Steve Simels
Mildly amusing and as obvious as it is good-natured.

42
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.

40
Film.com
Tom Keogh
Not a waste of time, but not quite in control of its destination.

38
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
An uninspired assembly of characters and story lines that interrupt one another.

38
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.

38
Boston Globe
Jay Carr
Takes a vacation from quality.

38
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.

30
TNT RoughCut
Graham Verdon
Wear your boots to this one, but because of the crap, not the snow.
30
Los Angeles Times
Robin Rauzi
Isn't for teens, it's for the kids who aspire to be teens.

30
Village Voice
Lael Loewenstein
A family film that's about as fluffy as fresh powder.

25
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Stack
Chase is so dull in this film, he looks as if he's sleepwalking.

20
Chicago Reader
Lisa Alspector
This grasping comedy targets kids of all ages but will please no one as it exploits exhausted ideas about adolescence.

20
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
There's little here to offend anyone, and even less here to excite anyone.

20
The New York Times
A. O. Scott
Fails both as arrested-development farce and as teen-age romantic comedy.

Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
Even Snow Day's winter wonderland looks fake.
