Awful canadian poor production where the simple appareance of the still unknown super-star Jim Carrey who had some unfunny imitations,the entire movie is a crap mixing country music & pop with Rita Coolidge,all live...some beauty girls who Carrey try out a date without success,some gags and a boring ski contest where have a former champion and nothing more interesting!!!Resume:First watch: 2018 / How many: 1 / Source: DVD / Rating: 2.5

Best friends Bobby Todd (Jim Carrey) and Jackson Reach (Alan Thicke) from small town Grimsby come to a ski resort. Bobby is not a skier and has dreams of performing on stage. Ronnie Hawkins and his friends are doing an outdoor performance. Jackson is looking to enter into the big race. He has to compete for the last spot.This is before either star gets their big break. The production looks pretty weak as a TV movie. Carrey gets to pull out some impressions. Thicke's character is an arrogant jerk. Ronnie Hawkins and his friends perform a few songs. The plot is a mess of unengaging characters. This is a movie to listen to some great old songs and see a young Carrey trying out some stuff. Otherwise, it's a bad movie.

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.

In short, avoid this like the plague unless you're a glutton for pain and misery. This is the one of the worst films I've ever seen, and I've seen "Manos: The Hands of Fate." It's the antithesis of good cinema. You know it's a dud when you see the film crew in the reflections of the actors' sunglasses and hear two different songs clashing simultaneously over a skiing montage for several minutes.You might enjoy it if you like hicks with huge aviators singing lousy renditions of classic songs or stock video footage of amateur skiers slogging down the slopes. Jim Carrey's character is a clumsy oaf who does impulse celebrity impressions, one of which was a pretty good Steve Martin, the rest of which were pathetically unfunny and instantly forgettable, like the entire film.Skip this one.
