Movie Reviews of Snowball Express
Movie Review: A Disney classic
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie was always the go-to video on sick days. We had a VHS copy in the 1980's that had been taped directly from HBO. Excited to find it on DVD, I bought this as a nostalgia piece from one of my brothers. It's silly, no doubt - New York family led by bumbling dreamer patriarch Dean Jones - inherits a money pit of a ski lodge in Wyoming....and hijinks ensue! Hey - it's not for everyone but as a kid, I loved the slapstick elements and overall feel-good Disney-ness of it.
Summary of Snowball Express
Johnny Baxter (Dean Jones), a New York accountant, inherits a hotel in the Rocky Mountains, quits his job, and moves his family out West to beautiful Colorado. The Rockies never seemed rockier as the Baxters find their "estate" in a state of total dilapidation.When New York accountant Johnny Baxter (Dean Jones) learns he has inherited a Colorado hotel, he promptly quits his thankless job, packs up his dubious family, and heads west. Since this is a Disney comedy, the inn's only customers turn out to be nonpaying raccoons and its decorating motif is strictly cobweb. To make matters worse, the local banker not only refuses Baxter a loan, but tries to buy out the desperate newcomer with a lowball figure. But with the help of an eccentric squatter (M*A*S*H's Harry Morgan), a local snowmobile dude, and an avalanche, the city slickers eventually prevail. Jones' slapstick style is showcased in ski and snowmobile scenes featuring vintage 1972 special effects that are nevertheless hysterical to kids. With a G rating, this is safe, relatively entertaining family fare. (Ages 5 and older) --Kimberly Heinrichs
