And now, here's Jack Frost. No, not that one. The other one.
This is the one directed by Troy Miller and released a year after the other one. Truly an impossible mistake to make. Honestly, with as creepy as the snowman's face in this movie looks, it's hard for the uninitiated to tell at a glance.
Jack Frost is a pretty boring movie, stretched out too thin over a 1 hour 40 minute runtime and with numerous odd pacing decisions that continually bring us down from whatever fun or comedic moments there might be. Those are fewer than the movie would like anyway, as the writing isn't as clever or funny as it clearly thinks it is.
We were somewhat impressed by the snowman puppet, but not by the writing or any of the characters in particular. I have a feeling I will have mostly forgotten this movie by the time the year is out, except for the one nice moment it has, the final goodbye.
4/10
