January 30, 2012I loved Jack Frost as a kid. Now I just see it as satisfactory childrens christmas entertainment. Although uninspired it did however bring a smile to my face despite there being other, better christmas films.

December 22, 2010this movie was surprisingly good, i thought it was greatly boring during the first half an hour but after he turned into a snowman the film just became fantastic and the ending is one of the few moments to get me teary eyed in a film

Joe Leydon, Variety
A slickly packaged and engagingly sentimental fantasy-comedy that stands out as one of the season's most pleasant surprises! Full Review

Jack Frost oozes the kind of fake warmth that gives family films a bad name.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Now we have proof: It's possible for the Jim Henson folks and Industrial Light and Magic to put their heads together and come up with the most repulsive single creature in the history of special effects! Full Review

Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle
Its sentiment is rote, its truths are culled from a trip down the aisles of a greeting-card shop. Full Review

It's just cheerful and bogus enough to keep children reasonably entertained. Full Review
