Amazon.co.uk Review
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

5.0 out of 5 stars The best absolute rubbish I have ever seen!, 6 Nov 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Jack Frost [VHS] [1999] (VHS Tape)
OK. I just don't know where to start. Ignore the picture on the front because the evil, murdering baddy is about as ferocious as pappa smurf.

The best most awful action scenes (just wait for the scene with the Christmas tree lights and the hair dryers). Beware the sinister white mitten. Listen carefully for the voice in the background after the sled decapitation.

Excellent, well worth a look, the funniest unintentional film I have ever seen!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Christmas Magic re-done by the Capra name, 17 Jun 2001
When Frank Capra directed It's a Wonderful Life a classic was made and whilst Jack Frost may not be up to this standard a 3rd generation Capra directs a very enjoyable Christmas fare.Michael Keaton and Kelly Preston shine in this warm hearted tale about young boy whose father is too occupied with hittng the big time rock and roll stage rather than spend time with his kid.However this all changes when the film takes a rather unusual twist(if not totally unbelievable). Nevertheless,the storyline has a warm Dickens type feelgood factor and an underlying message for ignoring father's.The sound effects pan around the room testing all speakers and in time this will be a film played over the festive season.Enjoyable and entertaining harmless family fun.
