Save your money for something good and enjoyable

It is a performances centric movie

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

I love 90s ski movies, they are so funny. I watched tons of them recently, Ski School, Downhill Racer, Aspen Extreme: all of them very much recommended. These days many people opt to watch ski lessons on mobile phones: iSkiSchool.com web site and iPhone apps instead of Ski School the movies, but I still enjoy watching them. The characters are naive in a way, but the whole concept of life in a ski town brings back the atmosphere of fun. I like Ski School because the true life of ski instructors is nothing like pictured in the movie, but it still makes you laugh. That's what counts, I will probably give it another couple of years before I watch it again, but I will watch it!

There are great tragedies of our time. 9/11. Darfur. All of the dozens of blood-drenched conflicts raging globally at any given time. Even... the death of Barbaro.And then there's the fact that this movie rated a sequel. Almost too horrifying to contemplate, but true. "Ski School 2" reunited the cast of this stinker.Why, Lord? Why? Imagine being locked in a tiny closet with a loud, drunken, sweating fat man convinced he's God's gift to comedy, that anything he says is funny. And farts? A laugh riot! If you can picture this ... save your money... you've already been drenched in the full, sticky "Ski School" experience.The lead actors - especially Fratkin and Cameron - are absolutely charmless, almost dementedly unfunny. They're as cheery as polio. But the director of "Ski School" apparently thinks they're the funniest, most endearing rascals this side of "Animal House". The women in this film are there simply to look adoringly at these jackasses and drop their bras. That's it. No personality. Barely able to make intelligible vocal sounds. This is how women are imagined by guys spawned at the bottom of high-school hierarchy - the ones who never got dates and could only imagine what "cool" attractiveness could possibly mean..."Ski School" has no temperature. I can't conceive of seeing the sequel. But then, I don't like to imagine falling into a wood chipper, either.

I never saw Ski school because I was looking for Citizen Cane on the slopes. I saw it because Dean Cameron was in it and that was enough reason for me. I wasn't disappointed at all. It's about this ski team (Section 8) of misfits who basically ski very well but also love to play practical jokes on the uptight ski team. They get threatened with being thrown off the slopes and must retaliate. The best thing about this movie (other than the multi-talented team of Dean Cameron and Stuart Fratkin) is that most of the script was written by them. The movie plays like a bunch of guys goofing around (Helium theater is my favorite). in short, this film kicks a**.

I considered giving this pitiful, soporific comedy a 1, but settled on a 2 for some reason. That shouldn't deter you from running as fast and as far away as you can from Ski School, a bottom of the barrel celebration of immature frat life. Of course, this frat is actually inhabited by a motley assortment of party animals who pretend to ski in their spare time (why they couldn't just stay at home to party is just one of the many unfathomable mysteries of Ski School). Naturally they have a run in with the toney head cheese of the school, who somehow allowed them to attend in the first place, and there's a 'climactic' competition between the two groups at the end of the film. I won't tell you who wins, but (***spoiler alert***) the film's amoral heart is revealed when the party house, led by smirking Dean Cameron, choose to cheat in order to compete. Ski School is a foul-mouthed, misogynistic piece of trash that will appeal to those who thought Animal House was a tad too arty.
