Jack Frost

(Warner)

Michael Keaton is Jack Frost, a struggling musician who's been neglecting his familial duties in order to make it in the biz -- until he dies in a car crash. When he returns from the beyond as a chunk of packed snow, he wants to make it up to his son, Charlie (Joseph Cross), by helping him beat the bullies in a snowball fight, teaching him tricky hockey shots, and other dad-like duties. Despite relentless cliché and corn, Troy Miller's film will probably keep kids occupied -- there's a snowboarding scene with catchy music, a couple of snowball fights, and Michael Keaton coming to terms with his snowman status. But though Charlie's snowball-fight rival suggests that "a snow dad is better than no dad," a therapist might differ.
