This family film had far too long a backstory to get through before the main event, which would certainly be off-putting to younger viewers. They might relate to the bullying which could be more of a horror film rather than fun family entertainment. There’s also some serious snowball fights and the kids that take part in them know their stuff. It’s a shame that Charlie didn’t pursue a romantic interest. Keaton’s acting seems as he’s trying too hard when he’s on-screen. The film does have a huge soundtrack which reflects the band but this takes the focus away from the plot which could explain why it appeals to adults more than children. It’s also quite real towards family life. The snowman itself is quite creative, though its eyebrows give it a mean look and chubby appearance. The conclusion isn’t convincing either; although I suppose it does provide a coping mechanism to those who have lost a family member.
