A cute but not schmaltzy family film set on one of America's winter days when snow forces the schools to close. As the snow day works its magic, teenager Hal (Mark Webber) searches for love while his kid sister Natalie (Zena Grey) pits Home-Alone-style wits with a demonic snow plough driver (Chris Elliott). Chevy Chase is amusing in a small role as their TV weatherman dad, and a fun running joke has the school head pelted with snowballs. Iggy Pop and Pam Grier have cameos.
