Reception

The film received mixed reviews from critics. John Serba of Decider gave the film a negative review, saying that "None of this slapdash also-ran cheapo crud is for anyone older than 10 or younger than nine and seven-eighths" and that "If a blizzard cancels school, have the kids watch something else."[10] Joly Herman of Common Sense Media gave the film a 3/5, saying that "Viewers might wonder whether the theme of having a snow day is deserving of a full-length musical movie, but as soon as that thought enters the head, a fun dance number distracts, and some clever songs can elicit a smile."[11]
