Having seen Schuyler Fisk as little tomboy Kristy in "The Baby-sitters' Club" five years ago, I knew Schuyler was talented. (Especially by such poor acting by the rest of the BSC cast in comparison) Even though I had my doubts about "Snow Day", I waited until it came out on DVD so I could rent it. The story involving the little kids was kind of cheesy (that is being kind) but since I'm a teenager, I won't come down too hard. The Hal / Lane story was pretty cute though. Even though it's been done, it was refreshing to see the two friends that were falling for each other in the movie really weren't super models. "Snow Day" could have easily pulled a "She's All That" trick. (The "outcasts" could be on the cover of "Seventeen" in a heartbeat) But you won't find that here. Schuyler Fisk and Mark Webber both shine without looking gorgeous or being a heartthrob. They just looked like regular kids. I wish we would find that in more films.
Since then, I've looked out for Mark Webber too. We'll see Schuyler and Mark both in the future. All in all, "Snow Day" wasn't total fluff. It's not as bad as the trailers make it seem. And if you don't like the story, at least you can end the movie listening to Schuyler's song "It's Not Her" on the closing credits. (I now officially have that song stuck in my head) The verdict: I give this a 6 out of 10.
