* NightmareFuel:
** The car accident scene is pretty disturbing, although the accident itself is not actually shown. As Jack drives his car down an icy road late at night, he gradually loses more of his vision due to the winter storm while ominous music plays. Then the windshield wipers stop working, and just as Jack gets them working again, he loses control of the car and the screen cuts to black just as a loud crash is heard.
** Charlie being backed towards and falling off a cliff by Rory and his gang, as they show NoSympathy that a younger boy is about to be seriously injured or even killed over a snowball fight, not helped by the lack of actual adult supervision in the area. It's a good thing that Jack was around to save him from impending doom.
** Snow-Jack's hot day.
* OneSceneWonder: The chained-up {{Franchise/Superman}} with {{Franchise/Batman}}'s head.
* RetroactiveRecognition:
** Creator/MarkAddy plays one of Jack's bandmates, and he's best known for ''Series/GameOfThrones'' (although he was better known in his native UK as a character actor).
** Mika Boorem as Charlie's friend Natalie. She'd be more recognisable for ''Film/BlueCrush'', ''{{Film/Sleepover}}'' and ''Series/DawsonsCreek''.
* SpecialEffectsFailure:
** The blend between the puppet snowman and the CGI snowman is... less than seamless.
** Even taken on their own, neither method is particularly convincing. The puppet looks incredibly stiff and lifeless with a terrifying-looking face that moves in a jerky manner and a body that moves like a slug. While the CGI model looks like something from ''before'' ''Film/JurassicPark'' with poor lighting and barely visible texture work. This is especially odd as this movie uses both Creator/JimHensonsCreatureShop and Creator/IndustrialLightAndMagic for its effects.
* TearJerker:
** Also qualifies as NarmCharm, Charlie building a snowman by himself, set to Music/FleetwoodMac's "Landslide".
** The look on his face as he looks at the snowman that resembles his father.
** The first time we see Charlie one year on from the accident, he's trying desperately to shovel snow out of the drive to help his mother get in. Then he notices the "Jack Frost Band" label on the shovel, snaps from the unfairness of the situation, and starts shoveling furiously just as his mother arrives home. He then breaks down crying, and Gabby can only do her best to comfort him.
--->"It's okay, it's okay. I miss him too."
** The argument between Snow-Jack and Charlie when he tells him that not only does he need to sort his life around, but he also now has to be the man of the house. [[spoiler:And this is two days before Jack leaves for good]]. It's telling that Jack knows not only that his abilities (as a snowman) are limited, but he won't be around forever.
* UnintentionalUncannyValley: The snowman. Some would argue he actually looks creepier than the ''Film/{{Jack Frost|1997}}'' film that ''was'' a horror movie.
-->'''Creator/RogerEbert:''' To see the snowman is to dislike the snowman. It doesn't look like a snowman, anyway. It looks like a cheap snowman suit. When it moves, it doesn't glide — it walks, but without feet, like it's creeping on its torso. It has anorexic tree limbs for arms, which spin through 360 degrees when it's throwing snowballs. It has a big, wide mouth that moves as if masticating Gummi Bears. And it's this kid's dad."
