So Dad comes back as a snowman. Not just any snowman but a foul mouthed, tiresome snowman. If the premise isn't ridiculous enough, it is designed to pull at our heartstrings. But I never could get over Michael Keaton's boorish performance. He has become one of our best actors, but there was a time when he was making pure junk and this, to me, was one of the lowest of the low. I really can't believe that there is so little imagination in Hollywood sometimes. There are budgets to do this kind of stuff, but if a quality idea comes along, forget it. Always go for the lowest common denominator. There are few films where I wish I had my money back. This is one of them.

I can't believe this film flopped at the box office. This movie is so great!!! I saw it when it originally came out in 1998 and when it finally came out on VCR, I watched this movie over and over and over and over and over and over again. It came on the Disney Channel last night and I freaked. I adored the film when I was a child, but now that I am older I appreciate the message and I cried twice. It is so adoring. A little boy is devastated by the loss of his father and he gets a few last days with him as a snow man. Both Charlie and Gabby get to say goodbye to Jack and really tell each other I love you and I am always with you. How can you not like this movie?! Some people say the acting is flat, but it's so real and raw to see a completely normal family and normal kids. I think it's great. And some think the dad coming back as a snowman is lame, but it's great how he gets to see his father again no matter what form he takes. "Snowdad is better than no dad." That is awesome. I highly recommend this movie for adults and children during the holidays and during the middle of the year. It is really GREAT!!!!

there was no snowmen injured in this movie he is the coolest dad in the world and lets go to prove this in this under rated tear jerker from h1998 at 1hr 37mins I gave it 7/10 Michael Keaton wrote songs for the film as well as singing with the band jack frost at the shiver festival so he is rock and role who gets his chance of a lifetime to prove ice guys finish first in this fantasy adventure with frosty and blizzard special effects he realizes as he chases his dream he is missing family time with his wife (Kelly Preston) his son Charlie but as he goes on the road to get his dream he turns back and life changes on mountain road a yr later a magical harmonica resurrects a snowman from Charlie. Charlie cant believe a live snowman is alive as Charlie is a ice hockey player his father nearly taught him the j shot but as father and son embark on a riotous snow fight to beat the bullies a snowboard cruising quest show but as the snow melts its time to go h high up to the cabin after a night of fun as rings his wife for a chat this film is magical for Xmas

I just saw Nostlagia Critic review this movie.Like NC I will give him right that it was an alright movie.A man dies in a car accident, and comes back to visit his Family as a snowman.Some of the highlights are the snowman joining a snowball clash.At last the snowman must be taken up to the Mountains where he must say his goodbye to the Family.It's not any major Winter Holiday Classic, but worth a Watch anyway.The snowman is well made, and the locations are wonderful.There are thrills, drama and some laughs on the way.If you love drama and comedies from the 1990's go Watch this.So try your luck in Blockbuster or a flea market to find this movie.8/10
