Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Luckily it was half price day at the thrift shop, so instead of $2 they only charged me $1.That said, I just can't pass up a ski movie no matter how bad. My dream is to run into Jim Carey and ask him all about this piece of work
View MoreThis is absolute crap. This movie serves 2x purposes. One, to remind you that if you shot yourself with heroin, drink a bottle of scotch and allow someone to break a cricket bat over your head, you will still manage to write, produce and direct a better film than this. The 2nd purpose, should you have guests over and you wish them to leave immediately, put on this film. Trust me it works, my brain managed to exit my skull and hasn't returned since. I am not sure what the purpose of this film was, to serve as an advert for Club Med, a platform for Alan Thickie and Jim Carey, was it a live performance of a band, with the very occasional random scene thrown in?! I don't know and really don't care, this film is bad bad bad!
View MoreBobby (Jim Carrey) and Jackson (Alan Thicke) have headed to Canada's Copper Mountain Club Fed. Jackson is going to compete in a skiing event while Bobby just wants to get "more comfortable" romancing women. Naturally, Bobby's quest for a romantic vacation has some setbacks. When he launches himself into a hot tub with two nice looking women, they are not amused. Jackson offers support but he has to concentrate on the skiing contest. While these two lads are trying to reach their goals, the club's country singers, including Rita Coolidge, put on an "extended" show. Will Bobby get a girl? Will Jackson win the contest? Will anyone care, due to the limited time spent on their adventures? This film is a cop out, thank goodness I only paid $1.00! Someone must have said, hey let's film a country music concert and put in a few scenes with a couple of actors and call it a movie! Well, its not. That said, Carrey, in one of his first roles, does a funny imitation of Sammy Davis Jr. and tries to make the most of his very limited on screen time. So do Thicke and Dick Gautier. But, its a no go, as most of the flick is devoted to the singers doing their thing, which is nice but not what this viewer wanted. There is very little plot or direction, although the scenery is pretty lovely. In short, climb no mountains or pay no big bucks to watch this near-turkey. If you pay more than 100 little copper coins, you've overspent.
View MoreNo matter how crap you think this film is - it launched Copper Mountain into a world renowned ski resort. Before this flick it was a single village family crap-hole. Now it's a 3 going on four village resort that gives Aspen, Vail, & Breckenridge fierce competition. If you go to Copper it's fun to watch this movie afterwards to see the changes. Make sure you check out nearby Leadville truly one of the best kept secrets in America. You can see Leadville on the sign at the end of the opening credits. Go to the Silver Dollar Saloon & Quincy's. Doc Holliday hung out in Leadville & it hasn't changed much since.Nonetheless this is a piece of history. The ski industry has changed so much - it went from cheesy to prestigious. This film happeneed right before the industry boomed.
