Whatever you do, don't confuse this Jack Frost with the 1997 comedic horror flick of the same name (its tagline: "He's chillin ... and killin'"). This family film stars Michael Keaton as Jack Frost, an aspiring musician, loving husband and occasionally absent father. Frost's life is unexpectedly cut short by a car accident and a year after his death he comes back as--you guessed it--a snowman, to help his family heal (Kelly Preston and Joseph Cross as wife and son Gabby and Charlie, respectively). The sudden death may affect sensitive younger viewers but by the time... Frost returns the movie is more light-hearted and the film's message is a worthy one. There's an underlying theme that supports independence, and Gabby isn't saddled with a new dude by the film's end. There's also a good rapport developed between father and son, and especially mother and son. If an audience can take that huge leap of faith to accept the premise (as youthful audiences will no doubt be able to do), this is entertaining family fare. --N F Mendoza [show more]

Aspiring rock singer Jack Frost (Michael Keaton) has been struggling for years to make it big, often missing out on time with wife Gabby (Kelly Preston) and son Charlie (Joseph Cross) along the way. While driving to a music mogul's party one wintry evening, Jack realizes that his family is more important than his career, and turns his car around - only to plunge to his death when he swerves off the road in a blizzard! One year on, an angry and depressed Charlie is still mourning for his father. Deciding to make a snowman in the garden (one of the few activities Jack always found time for), Charlie gives it his dad's old scarf - only for the snowman to come to life as a reincarnated Jack. Determined to compensate for the mistakes he made in his lifetime, the new, snow-based Jack sets out to be the kind of father Charlie always wanted.
Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play. Michael Keaton is a rock'n roll dad who gets one last chance to fine-tune his life, and prove that ice guys finish first, in this wild fantasy-adventure frosted with a blizzard of special effects. On the verge of making it big, long-struggling musician Jack Frost (Keaton) realizes he's missing something vital: time with his wife (Kelly Preston) and young son Charlie (Joseph Cross). But before Jack can make up for lost time, he swerves off an icy mountain road. Then, one cold winter's night, Jack magically returns... as a snowman! He embarks on a riotous, snowball-chucking, snowboard-cruising quest to show Charlie that when it comes to being totally cool, there's no dad... like a snowdad.
