The Reason Why

comedy

Although I held a grudge against nickelodeon (see my review for "space cases"), I decided to see this movie because of the plot: school getting cancelled on a snow day, and for-O.K. I'll admit it-Chevy Chase. Chevy Chase had a great role as the weather man whering those outfits for the weather channel due to lack of viewers, and I liked the Snow Plow guy.
