I rented this film based on the trailers that I have seen. I thought this film might be a cute family film. Not. This film lacks the genuine warmth similar films of this genre have. I could not feel anything for this kid or his mother. The director fails to capture the audience and make us feel something. The kids father dies and I just didn't care. When he came back as a snowman, the son is more flabbergasted than happy. This film needed a major rewrite before production began. I wouldn't waste my time again.
