A year after dying in a car accident, a man (Michael Keaton) is reincarnated as a snowman and given a chance to be a better father than he was when alive.
Quick Review: In a way, I feel sorry for director Troy Miller. With the basic concept, it was next to impossible for him to deliver a good film. Perhaps if this project had been given to Tim Burton to turn it into a weird, gothic, pop-culture fable, it might have worked. The fx snowman is halfway to goth-land already (he’s far too creepy to play a straight hero). But no twist saved Jack Frost. Instead Miller gives us jokes about melting and snowball fights and unbelievable snowman-son chats. Jack returns from the dead and all his son can talk about is his hockey team. How about “Gosh dad, what is it like being dead? Are you OK?” If someone escapes death in the form of a snowman, then that momentous event is going to trump scoring a goal for conversation.
