The Hollywood Reporter
A surprisingly effective debut effort from writer-director Robert Kirbyson. - 50
Los Angeles Times
It's a shame the film's first two acts are such a grind since there's actually a decently wrought resolution to it all. But by then, between the youngsters' more-is-less acting (Ray Liotta fares only slightly better as Billy's madcap dad), feeble stabs at humor and overreaching profundity, it's too little, too late. - 50
Variety
Picture narrowly avoids outright bathos, thanks largely to first-rate perfs by its child thesps and by Ray Liotta. But by self-righteously rejecting facile solutions, then employing them anyway in the tradition of "no ending left behind," the result conforms to parents' old-fashioned notions of kid movies rather than demonstrating true kid appeal. - 0
Slant Magazine
I'm not sure what part of Snowmen doesn't scream completely inappropriate, sentimental Manichean drivel.
