WHAT A MOVIE!

This film is great, so don't think for a second that this wouldn't put steam in your stride cause it will. It will get you smiling more than the Joker did in 'Batman'. Jack frost... well I don't really remember why he is a snowman but its beautiful. Rent this movie and you'll never be sorry. Of course the funniest part of the movie is the sex scene. When ol' sain't jack is banging some bit of crumpet with his carrot nose, kills her in the process and says:'looks like christmas came a little early this year' unfortunately it looks as the producers missed a trick when 'The Ice man cometh' would have been funnier still. Later in the scene having a post-sex smoke. See it as well as AIRBORNE, what another great movie, Steve Guttenberg does Bruce Willis. Love that Joker!
