I wouldn't imagine it being much fun being the rhythm section of The Jack Frost Band - and not just because your founder is a dead snowman. Additionally, there are no speaking parts, no solos and not even much rhythm. But they are the ones who got off easy.
After dying in a car-crash, Jack Frost (Michael Keaton) is reincarnated as a snowman, so to reconcile with his son. He saves him from a perilous snowball fight, but their newfound happiness is threatened when dad starts to melt. Yes. The premise is so idiotic, it's a wonder anybody had the know-how to write the title, let alone a whole script.
JACK FROST is all about bad mechanics. The plot is derivative and contrived. You can see why the Frost Band are hot property (no pun intended). Anybody who can get rock crowds to dig Christmas jingles have definite mainstream potential.
After the human J.F dies, a new, altogether uglier side to the film emerges. The snowman looks evil and sinister, but blood is thicker than water. The kid tells a bully, with pride `he is my father' and we're in bad movie heaven. Has Michael Keaton lost touch with reality? Yes, much like Kelly Preston, who accepts a call from her dead husband with aplomb. Much like Mark (THE FULL MONTY) Addy, who cried when he saw the finished product - apparently because it hit a chord, not because it hurt.
