Perfectly adorable

An action-packed slog

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

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.

Bobby (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.

No 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.

This film was little more than a vehicle for Club Med and Rowdy Ronnie Hawkins. If you actually go thru the movie and time it, The musical numbers get more air time than Carrey or Thicke. Odds are this is something the two of them try to leave off their resumes. I will say Carrey is humorous in most of his appearances, displaying a dead on imitation of Steve Martin in one scene. My interpretation was the director realized that the story was only 20 minutes long and had to insert 40 minutes of concert to ensure it could at least possibly pass as a made for TV Movie.I got this as an Xmas gift, only saw it recently, and am going to trade it in ASAP. It's the thought that counts, but....yeah......

There's no way around it, this is a very bad movie, the plot is virtually absent, the dialog is nothing great and the film quality is as if they filmed it with an everyday camcorder (from 1983). So, don't start watching this film expecting a well-written hilarious Jim Carrey film, as you will be quite disappointed.The only people that will have any interest in watching this film are the die-hard Jim Carrey fans (such as myself)...or I guess Alan Thicke fans. Other than that, there is really no need to see this film. Although, it is only 60 minutes, so it's a rather short film to watch.If you still feel the urge to watch this film, just keep in mind that this is Jim Carrey's first lead, and pretty much his first film all together, so don't expect anything great. Thanks for reading.
