    Dumb and Dumbest

    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.

    Cop-out Mountain

    First off, this is NOT a recommendation. If you're a big and I mean BIG Jim Carrey fan (like me) then I'd say get this admixture of cut and paste movie making.

    I was all hyped up to see this movie but when I actually saw it, what a letdown! But I did really like Jim's short moments as he impersonated different celebrities. Otherwise, I thought that I was witnessing a rough (and I do mean rough) new budding director's talents.

    Overall, do not expect acting but rather a focus on Club Med, solo artists, and a great interpretation of Sammy Davis Jr. by Jim. But by all means, if you're a BIG Jim Carrey fan, get this first film with Jim in his first starring role.

    Wow

    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.

    This movie sucked.

    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.

    Horrible!

    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.

      Michelle: Everybody feels like a loser once in a while.

      Bobby Todd: That's easy for you to say, you live a fascinating life; fast pace, great people, life on the road!

      Michelle: It's okay, I guess...

      Bobby Todd: Sure beats Grimsby, I'll tell ya! Back there you're considered worldly if ya buy your lunch at work instead of brown-bagging it!

      Michelle: Aw, it can't be *that* bad?

      Bobby Todd: Sometimes, we get really wild and drive to Buffalo for chicken-wings!
