There's probably too much back story used to give the exposition to the dramatic story of a bullied kid whose father dies and comes back as a snowman. Sounds fine, right? Well, I should mention that it takes half of the film's running time for this to happen, and when it does, it's rolling like a giant snowball flying down the slopes of a slippery mountain. Then, the fun begins and it never lets up.
I really didn't need much background to get the story going. Like similar fantasies like this, little background was needed other than a chance to see a live action Michael Keaton as opposed to the voice coming out of the moving mouth of the snowman. The fact that his real name is Jack Frost is his real name is a nice twist. Try to remain patient through the dull first half, and you will find yourself enjoying the funny and moving second half.
