Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)
"Jack Frost" is the kind of movie that makes you want to take the temperature, if not feel for the pulse, of the filmmakers. What possessed anyone to think this was a plausible idea for a ...read the complete Jack Frost movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

The Bad Movie Report
I imagine the heartaches of being a parent are many. Wondering when and if to discipline, concerns about your child’s safety, what will become of them, and sitting through innumerable live action children’s films. Sure there are gems to be found ...read the complete Jack Frost movie review at The Bad Movie Report
Foster on Film - Christmas
In a way, I feel sorry for director Troy Miller. With the basic concept, it was next to impossible for him to deliver a good film. Perhaps if this project had been given to Tim Burton to turn it into a weird, gothic, pop-culture fable, it might have ...read the complete Jack Frost movie review at Foster on Film - Christmas
Austin Chronicle (Marc Savlov)

Jack Frost (Michael Keaton: Jackie Brown) has a pretty good reason ...read the complete Jack Frost movie review at The Flick Filosopher (MaryAnn Johanson)

It will no doubt appeal to eight-year-olds, but anyone older than that can pretty much be prepared to get to know their watchface very well. ...read the complete Jack Frost movie review at Needcoffee.com (Widgett Walls)
Mr. Cranky
"Jack Frost" is the sort of warty, cartilaginous mutation you would getif you stuffed "Ghost," "Frosty the Snowman" and maybe a couple sheets of LSD into the same transmogrifier. A dad named Jack Frost (Michael Keaton), who doesn't pay enough ...read the complete Jack Frost movie review at Mr. Cranky
