Movie Reviews of Snowball Express
Movie Review: Great Family Fun
Summary: 4 Stars
This Disney classic is a great adventure for the whole family.
Dean Jones stars as Johnny Baxter, a New York accountant with a rotten boss. When a lawyer shows up at his office to tell him about a Colorado hotel he has inherited from a long lost uncle, he unceremoniously quits his job on the spot. His wife is less enamored with the idea, particularly after they arrive at the rundown property.
Baxter and his family set out to fix up the place and turn it into a ski lodge. There are plenty of wacky antics along the way. It is really a fun time.
There are several well known actors from other roles in this show including Harry Morgan, George Lindsey, and Dick Van Patten.
This is one of the better Disney movies and is good for all ages.
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
