There is nothing good nor remotely redeeming or endearing about this pile of po0py. Sadly, I spent 99 cents (cdn) on it (about 10 cents US).
A quick check of the director David Mitchell's other films shows that they are all of the same outstanding caliber . . .
The worst part is that I watched this piece of po0py twice. I fell asleep about 10 minutes in, and when I woke up to the ending Rita Coolidge LIVE! segment, I thought "geeze, must have missed the good stuff." Turns out the ending credits are the good stuff.
It doesn't even count as ski porn.
Basically, this was a p!$$-poor winter-vacation for Canadian "celebrities" that was probably funded by the Canadian tax payers in the form of tax-write-offs and credits.
SPOILER WARNING: Here's the summary of this 60 minutes of po0py: 0-10 minutes: Opening credits, done on home computer, over beauty shots of Colorado, with the worst theme song I've ever heard, with singing out of key, etc. She couldn't keep a note if her life depended on it. Some minor banter between the driver (Thicke) and passenger (Carey) about the latter's inability to pick up women.
11-15: Informercial bit. Check in at Club Med. More banter. Check out ski bunnies. Talk to some french ski pro who speaks glowingly of Club Med, and their peculiar take on resorts. Frenchie talks through his resume and trophy list.
16-30: Jim Carrey does Sammy Davis Junior impression on an open microphone, and finds that the band is p!$$ed off at him. Band is moments later impressed by his abilities, and decides to play a tune. Actually it becomes 10 tunes. Not much dialogue.
31-37: Thicke meets up with some guy who looks like George Hamilton and they take off in helicopter. Not much dialogue. Some big mountain skiing ensues. Only good part of film, other than opening and closing credits.
38-50: Back to music video of unknown band, interspersed with some ski competition that Thicke loses. Can't remember details. Was sleeping.
51-55: Jim Carey goes for beginner ski lessons and chases ski bunny onto double-black diamond run. Makes it thru trees without killing self (too bad). People at base are impressed at his prowess. Breaks groin at bottom of hill, and meets two ski bunnies who take sympathy on him.
56-60: End roll over Rita Coolidge at Club Med "Bar" . . . Ronnie Hawkins plays himself as backup to Rita Coolidge.
