Turkey

Snow Day

(Paramount)

The premise of Chris Koch's alleged comedy is, as one tyke puts it, "Anything can happen on a snow day!" For example, Mark Webber, a kid with little charm or talent, can play the romantic lead, squiring a pouty hottie who parades around in bikinis and puts Annette Funicello to shame. Or Chevy Chase can have his career debased by playing a meteorologist whose career is debased when he's forced to deliver the weather wearing a grass skirt. Or Chris Elliott as the villainous Snowplowman can see all the best lines go to his sidekick, a squawking bird. As for the requisite fart jokes, they're provided here by the requisite fat boy who's the butt of everyone's humor, and they get a laugh no matter how inane or gratuitous.
