Reviews
"So treacly and fake it makes you feel like you're trapped in a winter-wonderland paperweight."—Owen Gleiberman, writer for Entertainment TonightEntertainment Weekly: Jack Frost Review by Owen Gleiberman (December 18, 1999)
"It's a bad film, yes, but that's not the real problem. "Jack Frost" could have been co-directed by Orson Welles and Steven Spielberg and still be unwatchable, because of that damned snowman."—Roger EbertSun Times: Jack Frost Review by Roger Ebert (December 11, 1998)
"Although it faces tough sledding in a crowded market of family-friendly features, "Jack Frost" is a slickly packaged and engagingly sentimental fantasy-comedy that stands out as one of the season's most pleasant surprises."—Joe Leydon, writer for Variety magazineVariety.com: Jack Frost Review by Joe Leydon (December 7, 1998)
