This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

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

"Copper Mountain" is a truly horrible film with nothing to recommend it. Perhaps some might want to see it so they can see just how bad Jim Carrey can be or perhaps if you (like me) want to see as many of the Bottom 100 on IMDb films as you can.The film begins with two obnoxious guys, Jackson (Alan Thicke) and Bobby (Carrey) heading to a ski lodge. Jackson thinks that he's the greatest skier around and is quick to tell everyone. Bobby is an obnoxious loser who THINKS that because he's awkward with women, then it's okay to sexually harass them with his boorish behavior. For instance, one time he tries to pick up two women by doing a very broad Steve Martin impersonation and jumping into the hot tub with them. And, later, he walks into the women's steam room and once again the same ladies see him and run. He's about as likable as Ebola...on top of colon cancer! So, you have a fat-head and a pig who spends the entire movie doing mostly bad imitations of celebrities. Now that's a recipe for a fun movie. On top of that, the film has very little in the way of plot and lots and lots and lots of singing. It looks pretty obvious that the film was never originally completed and it only runs about 59 minutes and also has titles that appear to have been done by someone who had no idea how to do titles for a film. Why was it eventually released? Because Jim Carrey became famous. Otherwise, this 100% unfunny and untalented film snippet never would have seen the light of day.

So, where do I begin? Copper Mountain. Jim Carrey, Alan Thicke, this should have been good. It wasn't. This movie is an example on how to do everything wrong. I've watched the "classic" bad films, Plan 9 From Outer Space (1959) the Beast of Yucca Flats (1960) you name it. These films succeed because they keep bringing me back as a viewer. I know the people involved in making them cared, they wanted to make something great, and they failed. With Copper Mountain. The makers were clearly lazy, and did not care. The film revolves around two friends, they are played by Alan Thicke and Jim Carrey. Normally I would include the names of the characters, but they really don't matter. You won't remember them anyways. The friends are headed on a vacation to a Club Med resort in the mountains. Carrey's character does not associate well with the opposite sex (By not associate well, I mean is a total embarrassing socially inept moron) and Thicke's character is a want to be cool guy who comes across as a pompous ass. The two take on Copper Mountain and learn a little bit about themselves and life [...]Okay, I'll level with you. They don't learn anything. This entire movie is filled with lame plot points about Carrey's attempts to flirt with women, and Thicke's lame (very mean) jokes towards people he feels superior to (which in this movie, is basically the entire world). Aside from this, Copper Mountain is filled half with lame plot, and half with watching people play music at the film resort. This is what kills the film. I can deal with a socially inept main character, or maybe even a pompous one. But, the fact that half the film is really just music videos is what kills it. This is where the director gets lazy. As a film maker myself, I can understand how it goes. You have a demand from a film company, and they want a film of a certain length. So, to fill the time you leave entire musical performances in the film that have nothing to do with the plot. This works for making the film longer, but it kills the film in every conceivable way. Foremost, the film no longer is about your characters. The viewer gets lost in watching the music. Most film goers, want to find out what ends up happening to the main characters, even if it is a bad film. In Copper Mountain, the viewer gets too distracted by the prolonged music videos. I lost track of why I cared about Carrey's character, and why I hated Thicke's (even though I was supposed to like his character). What is boils down to is that I forgot why I even watched this. I like terrible low budget films. I watched this because it was a terrible low budget film. At the end of the day, I was really just watching some lame 1980s music videos, mixed in with some poorly written characters. Lame music videos and lame characters can fit into a world of their own. Mix them together so that the viewers forgets why they cared about either, and you have an epic failure. That's what Copper Mountain is. An Epic failure. I don't recommend it to my worst enemy, neither should you.

Yer, here's a spoiler for you. It's in my pants after this movie infected my body and i Sharted out a huge pile of what can now be called copper mountain. I have seen this movie six times. Its like being called in to see your mates really dirty excrement in the toilet bowl. Its so disgustingly bad but you just have to see it and stare and wonder how such a steaming pile was allowed to exit someones a hole like I'm sure copper mountain did.58 minutes of pure vomit cereal. Try and work out what the f%ck the joke is in the locker room. "He said his name was hot shot and that he drove a truck and i said good luck" WHAT THE F%CK!!!!!!!!!!!! At least the soundtrack was good.............NOT!!!!!!!!! Half the movie was poor live covers by F%ck knows who. Some old dude and a hag and a seedy looking porn star. The best song came from Carrey with a killer rendition of Mr Bojangles.Jim Carrey also let out some gut grumblers in this one. Watch out for the hot tub scene. Jacq Custeuax happy feet!!! Deserved an Oscar.Buy this movie and vote. It deserves to be in the worst movies of all time. Right up there at number one
