Jack Frost is a slickly packaged and engagingly sentimental fantasy-comedy that stands out as one of the season's most pleasant surprises. Pic offers a shrewdly balanced mix of humor, high concept and heart tugging, along with some amusingly impressive special effects.

Jack Frost can't possibly straddle its emotional shifts between morbidity and sheer nonsense. [11 Dec 1998]
Director Troy Miller, making his feature debut, does a decent job with schmaltzy material.
The story of a dead man (Keaton) who comes back to life as a snowman to befriend his troubled son (Cross) is played for laughs and tears despite its very creepy undertones. [11 Dec 1998, p.31]
Jack Frost is so treacly and fake it makes you feel like you’re trapped in a winter-wonderland paperweight.
Be it the use of faux snow that looks like the dog ends of previously owned Q-Tips or the successively worse series of blue-screened visuals, the film is shoddy from frame one.
