Stuck at home with Randy, she eventually takes her mind off work and lets loose with her son in the snow.

His best friend Lane expresses disbelief at his plan, reasoning to him that love is about finding someone you can stand to be around for more than ten minutes at a time, but she agrees to accompany him on his mission.

Hal tries everything from reaching out to Claire live on his dad's news station and facing off with Chuck in a snowmobile chase.

When Hal shows no signs of giving up, he ropes Lane into attracting Claire to a snow art of a sperm whale where he finds out that she actually likes zebras.

The site's critical consensus reads, "Weak assembly of characters and story lines made this movie forgettable and silly.

[6] In a comparison to 1983's A Christmas Story, Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times called Snow Day "an uninspired assembly of characters and story lines that interrupt one another until the battle against Snowplow Man takes over just when we're hoping he will disappear from the movie and set free the teenage romance trapped inside it.

"[7] Aside from the film itself, Ebert also wrote, "What a thoughtless place is Hollywood, and what talent it must feel free to waste", in reference to Pam Grier being given another "lousy role" after her "wonderful performance" in Jackie Brown (1997).

Reimagined as a musical, it stars Ky Baldwin, Jerry Trainor, Laura Bell Bundy, Rob Huebel, Michaela Russell, Shelby Simmons, and Fabi Aguirre.
