“Every one counts”
Here’s what the distributor says about their film: “SNOWMEN is a humorous and heartfelt coming-of-age story about three unlikely heroes and the winter that changed their lives forever. After a surprising discovery in the snow catapults three small-town boys into the spotlight, the best friends hatch a plan to be remembered forever by setting a Guinness World Records® title. Along the way, the trio battles schoolyard bullies, unites their community and discovers that—while fame may be fleeting—true friendship lasts forever. The film stars Bobby Coleman (‘Last Song’), Ray Liotta (‘Wild Hogs’), Bobb'e J. Thompson (‘Role Models’), Josh Flitter (‘Ace Ventura Jr.’) and Christopher Lloyd (‘Back to the Future’).
Convinced that he only has weeks to live, 10-year-old Billy Kirkfield enlists his misfit friends in a scheme to ensure that he will be remembered in the record books forever. Together Billy and his friends pursue immortalizing fame in a series of schemes and stunts that eventually threaten their very lives. Along his journey of self-discovery the boys conquer neighborhood bullies, unite a community, and discover that the only lasting legacy is friendship.”

Also, language was offensive to us. We had to fast forward through many scenes, due to intense fist fights and mean behavior between children. We won’t watch again, and our copy goes in the trash. So sad… this could have been really cute.
