Snow Day - Cincinnati. Some people love snow, others hate it. Except for skiers, who are a breed unto themselves, the fans are typically kids and the foes are adults. The same can be said for Snow Day, a Nickelodeon feature about a day in Syracuse, N.Y., when youngsters wake up to a foot of snow and a free day from school. For experienced viewers, Snow Day is a silly, bland, predictable exercise in comedy, and certainly not saved by the mercifully brief antics of guest star Chevy Chase, as a frustrated TV weatherman who s forced to give his forecasts in stupid costumes.
Kids are free to put down their books and grab their gloves, sleds or skates.
They even can hide behind bushes and pelt the neighborhood school principal with snowballs. She s determined to help create a second snow day by pestering the local snowplow man so much he won t be able to clear the streets. A teen-ager can also view a snow day as bonus social time perhaps a chance to finally strike a romantic spark with that classmate he s been admiring from afar. She s played in the most appealing performance of the film by Schuyler Fisk, daughter of Sissy Spacek. The supporting characters in Snow Day include the prerequisite fat kid, various nerds and jocks, and other stock students.
