This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Matt Raymand (a solid and likable performance by Milo Ventimiglia) has trouble finding a good job after graduating from college. Matt decides to spend the winter in Aspen, Colorado with his college buddies. While in Aspen Matt meets and falls in love with the sweet Michelle Casper (an appealing portrayal by Maggie Lawson). This in turn forces Matt to choose between money and a career or following what his heart tells him to do. Writer/director Marvi Banack relates the enjoyably breezy story at a swift pace and maintains an amiable easygoing tone throughout. The engaging main characters display a winningly loose and natural chemistry. The central romance is handled in a smart and straightforward manner without ever degenerating into sappy mush. Moreover, there's a real good-natured sensibility at work in this picture which gives it a substantial dose of sunny charm. It's also acted with considerable zest by a personable cast: Eddie Kaye Thomas as hapless doofus Peter Rothner, Eddie Mills as smooth ladies man Carter Boyd, Justin Ulrich as rowdy party animal Tyler Woods, Rachel Wilson as the brash Kirsten Benston, George Lazenby as friendly old-timer Campbell Grady, and Victor Alfieri as arrogant jerk Vito Ubrissio. The bouncy soundtrack and cool rocking score by Michael Stearns and Christopher Hoag keep things bubbling along. George Mooradian's slick cinematography provides an attractive sparkling look. A pleasant romp.

Surprisingly entertaining movie set in one of the greatest places in America, Aspen, Colorado. Many college kids and post-grads will be able to identify with the characters reluctance to enter the 'real' world. Instead living out many of our fantasies as ski bums and ski instructors surrounded by hot women and good booze.Nice casting overall. Rarely do you have a 'smart' hot lead like "Michelle" who (unlike many actresses in Hollywood films) seems quite real.This is a good date movie. It won't appeal to people expecting a bunch of overt T&A, though it is highly suggestive. It also won't appeal much to people who hate college kids, Colorado mountain yuppies, young professionals and fraternity/sorority types (conversely, it will appeal to those I just mentioned).In short, a good movie worth watching. It's fresh, with interesting new faces, yet still reminiscent of some good 80's romantic comedies.Nice movie. Will see again. Makes me wish I was in Colorado right now...

After watching about half of this I was ready to give up and turn it off, but I endured to the end. This is a movie that tries to be a romantic comedy and fails. The acting is poor---much worse than the acting in 80s T&A movies.There are several attempts at humour that fail miserably and the movie is 100% predictable. Perhaps if you are a teenager this movie will hold some appeal, but for those that have seen many movies, you will know how the film turns out after the first 10 minutes. The rest of your time will be spent in agony waiting for the ending credits to roll.Don't waste your time watching this.

The box for SHEER BLISS (also known as SNOW JOB and WINTER BREAK) reads, "Better than warm apple pie". This is no doubt an attempt to fool the consumer that SHEER BLISS is an AMERICAN PIE-style comedy when in reality, it is anything but. In fact, the only thing this movie has in common with AMERICAN PIE is cast member Eddie Kaye Thomas.SHEER BLISS is the hardest kind of movie to comment on. It's a movie that isn't bad, but not really good either. The movie doesn't seem complete. It appears to be like a very rough cut of what could possibly be a great movie. Nothing really clicks. Everything seems flat and emotionless. The humor forced. The characters one dimensional. In the end, the viewer is left unsure how to feel about the movie since it seems incomplete. *1/2
