Rating- * (1/5)
My friends would kill me if they knew I was giving this movie such a bad review but I refuse to cave to peer pressure (plus they probably won’t read this anyway). If you are wondering why I even bothered to see this movie, it is because my friends wanted to see a movie and nothing, and I mean nothing, else was out. This idiotic movie follows the antics of three or four (I can’t remember) snow bums that spend their days drinking and snowboarding until an evil rich man comes by and decides to develop their precious mountain into a ski resort. The rest of the movie is basically Saved by the Bell: Hawaiian Style except with cursing and drinking. There is one redeeming quality in the whole movie and that is the somewhat charming love story between the main guy and his foreign former love. The love story portion is ripped straight from Casablanca; some of the dialogue is even the same. Normally, this would be alright as a remake but because almost no one that sees this movie will have ever seen Casablanca, it’s really just ripping off a plot line and reusing it on people that you know haven’t seen it. I immediately recognized the plot similarities and turned to my friend saying, “This is Casablanca.” My friend’s response should let you know the mindset of the typical viewer of this movie: “Casa-what?”
