Snow Day

Most of these 1 star reviews are coming from adults who were the target age when the first movie came out and are upset that the sequel 20 years later wasn't made with them in mind. Youre in your mid 30s and it's a children's movie about a snow day. Take a breath and calm down. It's everything you would expect from a Nick musical but pretty well made. Some of the musical numbers are pretty good for the caliber of production I was expecting. Was able to watch it with our YouTube TV subscription with only 3 commercials. Not bad at all. If you have school aged children, give it a shot. It's not going to win an Oscar but it's better than most of the mass produced trash on Netflix these days.

Apparently, Snow Day (2022) is a Nickelodeon remake of Snow Day (2000) that I did not know about until I looked it up. I did not like this movie because it can be annoying, hard to watch at times, and I did not care about what was happening.

The acting in the movie is not good, and the characters in the movie are hard to watch and annoying. There is one character who I found annoying and hard to listen to because of her high voice, and she would do idiotic things along with the other characters.

The song numbers are average, and the dance choreography was unimpressive when they did happen. When a song number would happen, I would be disinterested in it even if it were part of the plot, but they mostly lead to something dumb like taking down a snowplow machine that I did not like.

There was at times bad editing and the dialogue was hard to listen to. There are also random scenes that would happen for no reason and have no connection to the plot, so once the movie ended, I was tired and frustrated along with the credits that looking like no effort was put into it.

I do not recommend watching Snow Day (2022). This movie is just another Nickelodeon Paramount+ streaming movie they did not put effort into making entertaining, which is why I will not remember this movie at all.

The singing is unbearable, the songs are awful, the acting is so bad, and i just couldn't take it. Snow Day did NOT need a remake, and most certainly did not need to be a musical. The voices of the children were just making my head hurt and it was very cheesy. The movie also kind of felt like a rip off instead of a remake. I really just didn't enjoy it. The choreography was also not my absolute favorite. I would not add this onto my christmas watchlist. I get it is for kids but even my kids did not enjoy it. They did not enjoy the acting or singing, i showed them the original snow day and they liked it much better.

This appears to be a remake of Snow Day. It was cute however the original is definitely superior. This was more of a musical which was interesting as I love musicals. It was not a total bust however it is definitely something that will either be for you or not. The acting wasn't horrible, however you can tell it wasn't the best. There were parts that were a little awkward bit but cute film to check out if interested!

This is a film featuring a group of kids hopeful for a snow day, and they try to do anything they can to ensure that happens. The story focuses on a set of siblings, and their wish for a snow day.

So, I saw the Snow Day remake. It was free on Dailymotion. I thought I was going to hate it. I didn't hate it but I didn't love it. It wasn't the worst movie I ever saw however I will say it's just an unnecessary remake.

Here's the thing it is the SAME movie. It is the SAME story with the SAME characters, and they even recreate scenes almost verbatim. For example, the perfect snow angel scene and the whale in the snow scene. They just made it shorter (this film is 1 hour 17 mins; The 2000 film is 1 hour 34 minutes) and turned it into a musical. They also eliminated a lot of the unnecessary characters and subplots and organized it into a more simple, straight forward plot.

In this film Natalie is now the narrator/protagonist. We find out Natalie is a lazy, underachieving student who is always trying to go out of assignments. She soon finds out She has a huge Math test coming up and if She flunks, She'll attend Winter School over the upcoming winter break (it is the equivalent of summer school). That's not really a thing in reality but I'll go with it. So, instead of actually studying, Natalie wants a Snow Day and then to be greedy a second Snow Day just to avoid having to do schoolwork.

I liked that part because Natalie reminds me of Little Pete from THE ADVENTURES OF PETE AND PETE and actually gives her the motivation to want to stop the snow plan man that the original kids didn't really have.

Hal is a LOT less creepy in this movie than He is in the 2000 movie. He is not a stalker. He is just an awkward teenager who wants to impress the girl He likes. Claire loses her bracelet and Hal does find it and decides to chivalrously return the bracelet.

Fabi Aguirre did a good job as Lane and brought her own unique spin to the character. I thought they softened the character of Lane a bit. "2022" Lane starts off the movie as Hal's platonic friend who actually does try to help him woo Claire. It is not until the snow angel scene (which comes in the middle of the film) that Lane suddenly has an epiphany and realizes She likes Hal. Even then Lane is more like "I just want Hal to be happy and if He is happy with Claire then so be it."

"2000" Lane liked Hal from the beginning and does not even hide it. Lane acts flirty towards Hal the entire movie almost to the point where you think Hal is just blind. She also mocks Hal's pursuit of Claire the whole movie. Instead of helping Hal you get to get the feeling Lane is just following him around because She just wants to see him to fail and make a fool of himself. "2000" Lane is like "I want Hal to be with me and if He isn't then the heck of his happiness I hope He makes a fool of himself." The end credits song in the original 2000 film, "It's Not Her" by (Lane, herself) Schuyler Fisk, all but confirms that's exactly that She's doing I thought Fabi Agguire's Lane was almost too nice and sweet.

I also noticed that the two actresses who play Lane and Claire, Fabi Aguirre and Shelby Simmons, kind of look alike. Honestly Simmons is not that much more attractive than Aguirre. The point is you don't have a 17 year old freckled face redhead and a 24 year old brunette with a tan in Winter playing the two roles.

Another observation: Fabi Agguire is only 5 foot while Shelby Simmons is 5'2". Meanwhile, Ky Baldwin (Hal) is like 5'10". What is with Nickelodeon and casting only petite actresses? For comparison, Schuyler Fisk is 5'5", Emmanuelle Chriqui is 5'3", while Mark Webber was 5'11".
