This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Perfect cast and a good story

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

I think it was a much better film. I just wanted a good entertainment and I got that. Though the story is not fresh enough. In fact, it is comparable to the recent sports-biopic, I mean that came much later to this, 'Eddie the Eagle'. Looks even the filmed location was same. Quite similar theme when it comes to the sporting events, but there's a wide gap on how it was played and by whom.From the director of 'All about Steve'. Firstly, it was a sport film and then romance attached to it in the required opening slot. So pretty inspiring to focus on something in our life to reach the heights. There's no shortcuts, it's always a hard work. In the film, that concept was funnily told. Encountering a new world, and discovering new things. It includes friendship, love and dedication in what one believes in.Great cast, except the love interest of Felicity Jones. He wasn't bad, but the chemistry did not work, even in the short span of their romance in the tale. Anyway, the romance parts were too cliché, but neglectable as it has little value. Because there are other reasons to like the film. The stunts are not extraordinary, just simple and realistic. The film will work for most of the people if they're not expecting too much. This is not some chick flick, a better film than that.6.5/10

I might have heard about this British made film during it's cinema release, but I certainly came across it much better once it appeared on DVD, it looked appealing because of the good names in the cast, and it was rated alright by critics, so I watched it. Basically nineteen year old pretty tomboy Kim (Felicity Jones) is a former skateboarding champion, and stuck in a dead end job trying to support her father Bill (Bill Bailey), following the death of her mother in a car accident, but she soon finds a job in catering in the most exclusive chalets in the Alps. Now a chalet girl Kim has to get used to being surrounded by posh, rich people, serving them champagne, but she is also of course surrounded by skiing, she tries to do this herself without any real skill, but then she discovers snowboarding, and having had skateboarding experience, gains good skills, only distracted by flashes of bad past memories while doing so. She sees an opportunity to make the much needed money she and her father need, a big snowboarding end of season competition with a $25,000 prize, but she has to overcome her fears and eliminate these flashes, but also she is distracted by having a crush on her handsome and spoken for boss Jonny (Gossip Girl's Ed Westwick). There are moments when Bill wonders if he is losing her daughter as she is almost too busy to talk to him that much, as she is training and getting close to Jonny a lot of the time, but in the end Kim does her father proud making a great impact at the competition, and of course winning the prize. Also starring St. Trinian's star Tamsin Egerton as Georgie, Ken Duken as Mikki, Bill Nighy as Richard, John Tucker Must Die's Sophia Bush as Chloe, Brooke Shields as Caroline, Nicholas Braun as Nigel, Georgia King as Jules, Miquita Oliver as T4 Presenter, Rick Edwards as T4 Presenter, Tom Goodman-Hill as Les, Angela Curran as Interviewer 1, Jessica Hynes as Interviewer 2 and The Inbetweeners' Alex Macqueen as Macolm. Jones is sweet and ambitious as the young heroine, Egerton and her get good scenes together with their funny friendship, Westwick is the typical good looking guy easy to like, and there is laughable support from Nighy and Shields as the rich guests at the chalet, I agree this won't tug at the heartstrings that much and is a tiny predictable in places, but the sporty material is cool, the love story is nice, and there are moments that will make you laugh enough, a likable romantic story. Worth watching!

This is your typical Rom-com, it has the innocent teenager seeking work and money and then comes the hunky boss. They are immediately attracted and flirty towards each other. She is a pro-skateboarder and has recently lost her mum in a car accident so he feels sorry for her, she teaches him how to snowboard and then they get caught by his self-centred mum the morning after. As usual there is an engagement, he is due to marry the girl of his mums dreams but he realises that Kim is the one. Kim wins the competition and as I predicted at the beginning he then turns up and they live 'happily ever after'. I realised when I turned it on that it would be your usual soppy Rom-com and to be truthful it was, but the Tom-boy/skater idea and the setting really did I for me, so in the end I was wanting to watch it again and again. This isn't for the non-romantic type so I wouldn't recommend it to everyone.

Hi I won't go into detail about the film because it's not fair on others before I watched this film I was upset and mad at someone but when I was watching this film it took my mind of it and some parts made me laugh.I loved chalet girl it was amazing it was funny and romantic I Really hope they make a second one with the same cast otherwise it Won't be the same. And I would recommend this film to anyone. If I had to rank this film I would give it 99.9% because it basically had everything it had romance, comedy, friendships and all sorts. Some people may disagree and say the film is rubbish and stuff but you should take notice of them so what if they don't like the film other people might and instead of listing to other people you should watch it yourself.
