Some of these creative missteps of Keaton's could've worked with a bit of tinkering. There's probably a stronger supernatural horror film out there for him to star in, First Daughter had at least a little potential, RoboCop could be saved with a more interesting sequel. Jack Frost, however, never stood a chance. It's a miracle it ever got made. Maybe miracle isn't the right word. Miracle implies a good thing happened at the end. Travesty, maybe? Tragedy? Absolute nadir of the career of everyone involved? Jack Frost is a film about a deadbeat dad in a crummy rock band who gets a second chance at being a good parent to his son after he dies in a car crash. And then gets resurrected as a snow man. Why? Who knows? Maybe it was all some elaborate prank to trick parents into renting their kids the identically-named film about a killer snowman and traumatising a whole generation. Like a snowman puppet with Michael Keaton's voice isn't any more nightmare-inducing...
