This movie has bad acting, poor dialogue, and the plot isn't worthy of the attention, unlike a couple of pranks and jokes. The highlight of the movie is a prank that was already shown in a commercial- in other words, there's no reason to see it.But most people don't seem to realize the parallels this movie has with Casablanca- two former lovers meet years later in a bar (after which, the main character says, "Of all the bars in Alaska, why did she come to this one?", much like the line of dialogue spoken by the main character in Casablanca); the female was already in a relationship when they met, which was in a different country from their current location; the female character departs with her actual partner in a plain after the main character tells her to go. All of this doesn't make the movie "more intelligent", rather it makes me wonder why someone would tarnish the plot of a classic movie by adding hillbillies and snowboarding.

This film came highly recommended to me, and now I have to question everything this friend of mine says in the future. This movie most closely resembles "Wet Hot American Summer", except that it's at a snowboard resort in Alaska, rather than some summer camp. It is equivalent in so many ways, but most importantly, in the fact that neither is all that funny, and the story is boring.I sat through the end of this thinking it had to get better. Oh, it did. Well, it tried. For about three minutes before the credits rolled, they showed some bloopers. It's snowboarding, so there were bound to be a few wipeouts. These would have been better on America's Funniest Videos with a voice-over, background music and sound effects. Yes, even Bob Saget voice-over! This is rated PG-13, but I think a PG would have been fair. No cussing, NO NUDITY (even though plenty of situations called for it), no drugs, and did I mention a boring story? Don't get it for the kids, but DEFINITELY don't get it for the grownups.Save yourself time and trouble and skip this. It presently gets a 5.4 from IMDb.com and there is a reason. See the "If you like this we also recommend" Rat Race movie. THAT's comedy. Van Wilder is funny. Porky's, Eurotrip, and Office Space. I could go on.Walt D in LV 12-12-05

This movie is HORRIBLE and you should love it.From a cursory glance, this movie looks like a retread of what larger names (Adam Sandler, Chris Farley) have done and failed at, but this movie is different. THIS MOVIE IS FUNNY. It is pure unclean fun and what it lacks in a "message" it more than makes up for with sharp humor.While people may take issue with the subject matter (drugs, dick and fart jokes, boobies), the story and dialogue are exceptional. This isn't Les Miserables (or even South Park: Bigger Longer Uncut, taking jabs at society) but it is smart and witty and you'll find jokes on the third trip that you didn't see before. Give it a try--it's definitely worth your time.8 out 10: Rated Excellent for Casablanca references, the scene on the mechanical bull, and just being absolutely fun.

When talk about this movie you might think it is just another Jason London movie that you barely heard about and is doubted weather to watch it or not; after all he is not very much of a extreme type of guys to be playing this role. Anyway, he did! And tell the truth the movie ain't that bad.It is about the group of friends try to save their beautiful town from taking over by the rich tycoon.Not very original story but movie did offer more on pretty funny casting that turn out to be good (Caroline look great); some of the scenes are funny and smile worthy and even to laughable at time.Recommendation: Definitely worth a watch Rating: 7/10 (Grade: C+)Please Rate My Review After Reading (YES/No), Thanks!
