What happens

Snow Day is a 2000 American comedy film directed by Chris Koch, written by Will McRobb and Chris Viscardi, and produced by Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies. It was originally conceived as a follow-up to The Adventures of Pete & Pete, but it was eventually rewritten to be independent of the show instead. It stars Chris Elliott, Mark Webber, Jean Smart, and Chevy Chase with supporting roles by Schuyler Fisk, Pam Grier, Zena Grey, Josh Peck, Emmanuelle Chriqui, and David Paetkau. The film premiered on January 29, 2000, and was theatrically released on February 11, 2000. It takes place during the events of a record snow day in upstate New York, depicting various subplots including a group of kids planning to thwart a snowplow driver in an attempt to get a second snow day. This is the first of two films to star both Peck and Grey, the other being Max Keeble's Big Move, released the following year. Snow Day was met with generally negative reviews but was a box office success. The soundtrack single "Another Dumb Blonde", by Hoku, was her only chart hit, peaking at #27 on the Billboard Hot 100. The film was released on home video on October 3, 2000, and re-released on DVD on September 26, 2017. A musical remake was released on December 16, 2022, on Paramount+. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
