This movie is nothing more than a pile of unconnected and hideously awful musical numbers with small bits of badly-written dialogue and no plot whatsoever. It really is a boring watch, particularly with Jim Carrey playing a howlingly unfunny straight character and, let's face it, playing straight characters is hardly how he earned his fame. The only possibly endearing quality of this mindless waste of film is simply that it was Carrey's first leading role, and with this as his starting block, it's incredible that he got where he is today. If you have a yearning desire to see this movie, I would first advise seeing the world's most eminent psychologist.

You just might lose any respect that you have for Jim Carrey if you watch this bomb, a movie that was REALLY stretched out just to make it to a sixty minute running time. At least half of the film is nothing more than footage of various musical artists singing their songs, and much of the rest is nothing but skiing footage. Sure, you can see a bit of a young Carrey showing off his ability to do different voices, but here it is woefully out-of-place and pointless. Even at only one hour, I still wouldn't recommend that you take the time to watch this snoozer.

Jim Carrey doing average-to-poor impersonations and Ronnie Hawkins performing entire songs on stage just to stretch this incompetent travesty of a "movie" to a sixty minute running time. They should have just done it as a video sketch and left it at that. There is only enough plot here for about three minutes of predictable screen time. What is the point of this movie? Why does the band let some guy walk up on stage and impersonate Sammy Davis Jr for five whole minutes, and provide him with back-up music? Why is Ronnie Hawkins performing for nobody? What was Alan Thicke thinking when he agreed to do this? Obviously they didn't pay him much since the entire budget of this film was obviously about three hundred dollars. At least Jim Carrey has the excuse of this being his first film so he didn't need to care how stupid it made him look...... at least not at the time. I'm sure he regrets it now though. One out of ten.

This film was little more than a vehicle for Club Med and Rowdy Ronnie Hawkins. If you actually go thru the movie and time it, The musical numbers get more air time than Carrey or Thicke. Odds are this is something the two of them try to leave off their resumes. I will say Carrey is humorous in most of his appearances, displaying a dead on imitation of Steve Martin in one scene. My interpretation was the director realized that the story was only 20 minutes long and had to insert 40 minutes of concert to ensure it could at least possibly pass as a made for TV Movie.I got this as an Xmas gift, only saw it recently, and am going to trade it in ASAP. It's the thought that counts, but....yeah......

I bought this movie and I AM going to complain about the six dollars I spent on it. I expected a bad movie, with a young Jim Carrey and Allen Thicke in an unknown movie, how could I not. But this was horrible. It wasn't a movie at all. It was just a promotional video for club med. The sound was awful, they turned Carrey into the least funny person on the planet (and I think he's hilarious)...it was worse than Rubberface!!! (Which goes on my worst ten short films ever made). Don't see it, whatever you do. It's too bad to even make fun of. I'm glad Carrey got famous or else he might still be doing this stuff. At least he didn't do Son of the Mask though.

well i'm glad to know that i'm not the only one who got ripped off by wal-mart. hehe

anyhow i was at good old wally world tonight and saw this movie. The name caught my eye cause I actually get a season pass to copper mountain every year. So i was like i wonder if this was filmed their. So i read the box and thought it can't be that bad. I couldn't be more wrong. The only upside to the movie was the beginning and seeing places that I drive by every week during the ski season, and trying to figure out where they were on the mountain. Thats about the most props that i can give the movie.

As for the movie itself, well i have always wanted to see a movie that was about 15 minutes long and the rest of it is watching some musical acts that i have never liked.

If you need to punish your children force them to watch this movie. That would be punishment enough for just about anything they have done wrong.

Also one last note, don't let this movie affect the possibility of any trip to copper mountain, its quite an excellent ski resort.

Wow is all i can say. This movie was so bad it's something to be marveled at. I've just been looking at the voting statistics for old Crappy Mountain and can not say how proud I am to be the one female under 18 to have given it a vote of 1. I'm only distressed at the one male under 18 who gave it a vote of 10 (what in carnations!!??) making the average for under 18's a crazy 5.5

This movie is highly recommended as you can't help feeling privileged to have witnessed the worse movie of all time.

The first movie Jim Carrey ever made, and the biggest surprise found herein is that the man actually got(or had) a career after it. The story revolves around two friends in the mountains, one of them there for a woman. They also go skiing. Yup, it's essentially Dumb & Dumber(yes, I realize that that came out more than a decade later, release dates are not the point), only, you know, not funny... at all. The cinematography is dull. The editing is lazy. To paraphrase Mystery Science Theater 3000: "This movie establishes the *heck* out of its location!" Had all of the shots of the area been taken out of the film, the running time might drop a noticeable percentage, although the same could be said for the music performances, but at least the music was reasonably good(really the only thing I can think of to say anything positive about). Technically speaking, this is just ugly. Film quality is poor and sound is no better. The humor is just not funny. Carrey spends much of the time doing impressions, but he's more embarrassing than entertaining to watch. The film keeps throwing celebrities at you, I guess to make up for, well, having nothing else to offer. The pacing is nonexistent. The running time is one hour, and this still manages to be a trial to sit through. What tiny iota of actual, bona-fide plot there is manages to be powerfully derivative, unoriginal and bland. Dialog is carelessly used for exposition, and there is done less than nothing to hide this fact. In the end, the whole thing just comes off as a long commercial for Club Med. The good news about this movie? It ends. I recommend this to, heck, I don't know, people who hate Carrey and want to see him at what could be argued to be his worst. 1/10

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.

I like many other bought this movie at walmart. And although the box hipe's it as the funniest laughter packed move , it is sadly without any saving grace.

I sat through the first 10 minutes thinking o.k. this is the joke ... it will get better.

never did. don't waste your money unless you want frustration !

if I could I'd say its the worst movie ever made and give it a -20 for my pain and suffering. Jim Carey must be sad that first they would hipe such trash , second using his name and reputation.

we all start some where but some times thats better forgotten .

this movie should have be shelved for good.

Wow, what a horrible movie. After watching this, I still wasn't too sure what it was supposed to be about. From what I understood, it looks like the two main characters were supposed to be Bobby Todd and Jackson Reach, played by Jim Carrey and Alan Thicke. Now, these two guys go to some Club Med ski resort. Bobby's there to try and pick up girls, and Alan's there to become the Ski Champion of some contest. So that's basically what the movie's about. Bobby has this problem where he does funny impersonations every time he tries to talk with a girl. The bad part about the film is that they did a bad job of filming Jim Carreys impersonations, and on top of that, they really weren't even that funny.

Now, you noticed I said you're gonna love this if you love that Ronnie Hawkin guy. That's because there are about four full song's in this short 60 minute film. A typical song lasts five minutes, right? So you got 20 minutes of solid music there. I guess the only real plus to this is that this is how it would be if this wasn't a movie and you were at the real event taking place.

Overall, I'd say to stay away from this movie. I think the only reason anyone today even consider's seeing this movie is because Jim Carrey is in it. I know that's why I watched it, even though everyone said to stay away from it. You have to remember, this movie co-stars Carrey and Thicke, so the screen time's split between them, and don't forget all the music that there is. I think you really only get to see Carrey for about 15 minutes total in this film.

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.

This is most likely a Club Med infomercial. On the other hand it could be the left over plot less footage of some privately funded movie that sort of drizzled out as the film crew ran out of booze. I was also thinking it could have been a one day project, thought up during one of Chris Farley's coke binges.

This movie also holds strong evidence that Jason Lee will get old, invent a time machine, travel back to 1983, go to Club Med while they're filming Copper Mountain, and start singing soul music.

I love Jim Carrey, and it's the only reason I bought this movie, but he's only got like 15 minutes of footage. I think the movie was really about Alan Thike. Sort of a "Growing Pains" portfolio piece.

If you go in expecting this to be the worst thing you've ever seen, you will come out happy from the experience. If you going in expecting a lot of a 1983 short film with Alan Thicke and a young Jim Carrey...you're just plain ignorant.

I saw someone complain about spending $5 on it...well, I spent $8 to buy this and am not at all disappointed. I am of course I huge fan of Jim Carrey, to fork up $8 for this. The scene where Jim imitates Sammy Davis Jr. is worth the money alone...and also the singer following him isn't that bad either, heh.

All in all...people are just ignorant if they expect anything less than a sub-par movie.

This is a definite must if you can find it and am a die-hard Jim Carrey fan...or Alan Thicke fan for that matter. Just watch it and enjoy it and don't much such a fuss about it.

This little gem is what I like to call a masterpiece. Jim carreys best work. Actually its extremely difficult to watch all the way through. They fill the empty storyline with live music performances and the bands aren't enjoyable to watch or listen to. boringboringboring. Bad writing bad directing bad everything.There are some good one liners in the mix of complete garbage and there only good because there so bad. I dare you to butter up some popcorn sit your tush down in your recliner and pop this sucker in and watch it beginning to end without fast forwarding. Its almost physically impossible unless you have some medicinal marijuana.
