Featured review
Shoestring genius
Any self-respecting fan of cheap flicks is bound to approach Jack Frost 2 with a certain degree of understandable caution. Sequels are always tricky ground in this genre, and when you're dealing with the sequel to possibly the most beloved "Killer-Snowman-Shags-That-Chick-From-American-Pie-To-Death-In-The-Shower" movie ever, (a hotly contested title, for sure, but I stand by my judgement), the stakes are obviously fairly high.
Being able to recapture exactly the same sense of cheesy ineptitude without overdoing it was always going to be a tricky task. Cooney succeeds in fine style, principally by following the established blueprint in an entirely new location. In this case; a tropical island. Natural stalking ground for a snowman.
Early sequences, in which Jack is represented by a puddle of water and a carrot on a piece of thread, might suggest to the casual viewer that the budget for this follow-up will not stretch to the dazzling visual spectacles presented by the original. Don't be fooled.. Cooney knows just what he's doing, and is merely lulling the casual viewer into a false sense of security. He pulls out his trump card in the latter third of the flick. He has bought a home PC animation package, and he knows how to use it.
Well, he doesn't *quite* know how to use it. But he'll have a jolly good go. Hence, inept live action effects are seamlessly blended with inept computer generated effects, and we're all set for a staggeringly poor finale.
Despite the somewhat misleading title, at no point does Jack kill any mutants. Pity. I'm sure he'd have kicked Wolverine's fuzzy backside.
