Storyline
Jack Frost is a singer who's on the road most of the time so he can't spend a lot of time with his son Charlie, although they love each other very much. When Jack dies in a car accident, Charlie becomes a very sad young man, until... Jack returns as a snowman! Now they can do all the things they've missed when Jack was human, but what will people think when they see Charlie talking to a snowman and what will happen when the weather gets warmer?

Jack Frost was a great movie. How could any of you give it a 1? it deserves a definate 10! The story is about a father and a son who are extremaly close. Jack Frost(Keaton) dies in a car accident and comes back as a snow-man because his son, Charlie(Cross) plays a magic harmonica. They have a great time catching up on things. As you know snow-men cannot live forever, eventually Jack has to leave but is never forgotten. It's a great family film, the actors are terrific. Joseph Cross is a major hottie!! Enjoy the show, what's a movie without a little magic? Also check out for the soundtrack, great music! 10/10
