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.
