I found this on Netflix streaming movies. I actually wanted to see what Brooke Shields is doing in movies lately, she plays the wife and mother in a super rich family that vacations in the Austrian Alps.
The story is about Felicity Jones (mid-20s) playing 19-yr-old Kim, an English girl who works at a fast food place. She had been an avid and good skateboarder as a teen but after a car wreck which injured her and killed her mum she has not been the same.
Looking for better work she is declined at an interview (not 'posh' enough) but as she prepares to leave is snapped up, seems someone just canceled and they needed someone, anyone.
So the main of the story is in Austrian ski country with this English girl certainly a fish out of water with no idea what to do on the snow. But a chance encounter with a boy on a snowboard gets her attention, and ultimately she is training for the big money prize to be offered in an upcoming snowboard competition.
This movie is made or broken on Jones' acting and she carries it well. Her character of Kim is interesting and fun, she not only gets into the snowboarding competition but she also gets into the competition for the hand of the rich son of the Chalet family.
A nicely entertaining movie.
