Now Jack Frost is neither a bad movie or a good movie. It is fine for the family, and it certainly starts off well with a very promising 20 minutes. I also liked the premise of the film, about a musician who dies in a car accident and comes back to life in the form of a snowman to spend time with his neglected son. The soundtrack is great, and the film is nice to look at. The performances are decent from Joseph Cross and Kelly Preston and Michael Keaten while he has been better does well. However, I was not sure what the movie was trying to accomplish. What I mean by that is that it seemed as though it was striving to be a poignant father and son type film and a film full of slapstick comedy. Unfortunately due to the weak script, the film doesn't really succeed at either. The pace is also rather uneven, being slow at times, and the ending is rather schmaltzy. Plus the special effects are in general substandard. All in all, not terrible, but it could have been better. 5/10 Bethany Cox
