In this bittersweet comedy, Michael Keaton gets a second
chance to see his family when he comes back to life as a snowman. Also with Kelly Preston.
SEX/NUDITY 2- Some mild sexual innuendo and a few kisses, some passionate. A
man lies on top of a woman and kisses her. Some humor regarding (snow) balls. We briefly
see a woman in a midriff-bearing shirt, and in one scene, a woman wears a tank top and
tiny shorts (we mostly see her top). A snowman gets hit with two snowballs that stick to
his chest and look like breasts; he briefly feels them.
VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - In one scene, it's suggested that a man has a fatal
car accident -- from his perspective we see a bright light and a guard rail and then we
hear a loud noise. A few snowball fights, during which some kids are hit pretty hard on
the head and torso. Bullies throw giant snowballs with a slingshot and hit a few kids.
During a chase scene, kids on snowboards and sleds lose control and fall into large snow
drifts; one boy slides into a tree with his legs spread. Two kids are sandwiched between a
drift and a huge, rolling snowball. During a hockey game, players are knocked down, pushed
into the wall, etc. A boy dangles from a tree branch over a drop-off; he starts falling
after the branch breaks. A snowman is hit and dragged by a snow plow, then pushed into a
snow drift. A kid threatens to melt a snowman with a hair dryer. A snowman's head and
torso comically fall apart at times. In one scene a snowman skis through two narrow trees
and temporarily loses the sides of his head and body.
PROFANITY 1- A few mild obscenities and one anatomical reference. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Grieving, death of a parent, getting a second chance.
MESSAGE - The movie's stated message is that you never lose a loved one
as long as you keep him or her in your heart; the implied message is that you might get a
second chance to actually see and spend time with a deceased loved one.
