Geez, give this movie a break

Good-natured fun about the adventures of weatherman Chase and his family during unexpected snow day in upstate New York. We've seen all the subplots somewhere before, and many of them are over-played, but I thought this movie was a pleasant diversion just the same. The child actors are fine throughout, and Chris Elliott does an amusing turn as the hated SnowPlow Man.
