It makes sense to base your film on one of childhood's most beloved institutions, the snow day, when Mother Nature intercedes on children's behalf to tear a day of leisure from the jaws of academic drudgery. Title aside, however, Snow Day is painfully short of inspiration, evoking less the euphoria of its title event than the depressing reality of business as usual. Chevy Chase and Chris Elliott are among the adult stars sacrificing their dignity for easy paychecks in this kiddie-targeted romp about a snow day and its effect on Chase's bland suburban family. His teenage son (Mark Webber) uses the day to pursue his high school's unattainable teen queen, predictably oblivious to his smart, attractive, and available female best friend. Chase's daughter, meanwhile, wages a brave struggle of her own with the town's notorious, snaggletoothed snowplow driver (Elliott, wasted yet again in a nothing role), while her father tries to win a ratings war with an obnoxious competitor. None of the film's three plots pack a dramatic or comedic punch, with the pining-teen love triangle coming across as particularly rote and by-the-numbers. Genial and inoffensive (as long as you aren't taken aback by the occasional gag revolving around urine or flatulence), but not much more, Snow Day is for undiscriminating kids and no one else.
