Jack Frost (1998)
Manage episode 454295409 series 3435525
It’s THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR! That means Christmas holiday fare all month long and Angela picked for us a notorious wintery family film that definitely “cooled off” Michael Keaton’s career at the time. He eventually came back from the brutal box office blow which is impressive enough considering how trashed this movie is. We watched, for the very first time, Troy Miller’s 1998 film “JACK FROST” starring Michael Keaton, Kelly Preston & Henry Rollins. Not to be confused with two horror movies and a Rankin/Bass special. Dad’s who travel around Colorado playing the stankiest white blues are often well meaning, but absent, fathers. God punishes Jack Frost (yes that is his name and he fronts “The Jack Frost Band”) for changing his mind from a gig to go back home to his son for Christmas. Jack dies but cut to one year later and his son, Charlie Frost, gussies up a snowman and toots a magical harmonica that pulls Jack Frosts soul from Hell and into a snowman. Sure, it’s freaky when your dad is a snowman but don’t worry because we’re just getting started with the turnt up hijinks and “bazooka Joe” level comedy. Is this movie as bad as they say? Do you like your blues with a little extra stank? Well step up and watch this bizarre film and have your pathetic life changed forever.
