An Excellent Film !!!

Before you see this movie, 2 things are important to know about thisfilm. 1. It is not a snowboard/skiing documentary, 2. It is not anOscar caliber movie. Some people (the older) expect the Oscar, whileothers (the younger) might think of it as a doc., with focus on tricksand riding. I guess thats why disappointed haters come post here. It'smore a 20ish type comedy set in an Alaska ski town. It has a few scenesof some serious snowboard riding, but that is not the primary focus.It is more about the hilarious undertakings of these lovablecharacters, and the choices they have to make to save themselves andsave their town. This movie would make an awesome date movie, and willhave you cracking up throughout. Their a goofy bunch you'll fall inlove with. This movie will also make you miss the mountains and wannahit the slopes. The best pick me up movie on a crappy day. Don't gorent this film, go buy it!! And don't forget the soundtrack, one of thebest EVER featuring Foo Fighters, Weezer, Jack Johnson and others!

What do You want to know?

This is an Old movie most of the people should have already seen it, But if you have yet to see it, it is really funny and has a little romantic side to it. Decent movie all in all.

Confused juvenile sexual innuendo

This movie was, in short, awful. It consisted entirely of people gettingdrunk, and people (mostly women) getting naked. It was replete withsexualinnuendo and never missed an opportunity to use juvenile humor. To makethings worse, the plot itself wasn't even put together that well. Themovieseemed confused and as if no one really knew entirely where the movie washeaded.

one line summary

This movie is pretty worthless, even as dumb fun. The amount of times theplot so willfully falls prey to predictable cliches almost made me wonderifit was meant to be a subtle satire, and if that was the case then theremaybe some genius at work here, but I'm probably giving it too muchcredit.

Another Boring Comedy

This movie was compared to "Animal House on Ice"......I don't think so, if anyone actually liked this movie they can't be much older than 15. The box office numbers speak the truth. Awful, just plain awful.

Old plot but overall great!

Sure it's the same old plot you see in every ski movie, some rich developers trying to take away the ski resort from the locals, but the characters in this movie are really interesting, some parts are really funny and the music is good too, I highly recommend this movie if you like snowboarding at all, also check out Ski School 2.

Best Movie Ever Made!!

Okay I have to admit when I saw the preview for this movie I was like "Ohthat is WHACK!" but after I saw it I realized that it was one of the bestmovies ever made. Imagine actors you've hardly ever heard mentioned comingin to a movie and making you laugh your butt off. Though the commercialsmake it look dumb, it is amazing! Much more laughs than 'ShallowHal'!

Love it or hate it, I think it's great!

Out Cold is one of my favorite movies. It's not intelligent, the actingisn't anything special and the plot is sub-par. But it's hilarious, andas a snowboarder wildly entertaining. I watch it in the summer when Imiss the season, in the fall when I'm waiting for the season, in thewinter when I'm NOT snowboarding, and in the spring when the season isending. There is so much truth to the movie in some aspects that itjust feels right. The movie is so funny in so many little ways, and ifyou open your mind and are willing to accept it for what it is, I thinkyou'll love it as well. It has a great soundtrack featuring a LOT ofJack Johnson, some Weezer, Sum 41, other stuff, all of which is good.Jason London is great as Rick Rambis, Zach Galifinakis is hilarious asLuke and whoever plays Pigpen does a great job of acting dumber thenyou would think anyone could actually be. You'll either love it or hateit, but if you snowboard or like to have a good time, I think it willbe the former.

Did I ever tell you about the time I invented snowboarding?

Out Cold tries hard to capture the tween audiences without fully using the infamous "raunch" button to be successful. It tries hard to give the audience a graceful combination of physical humor, sexual slap-stick, classic Hollywood references, and X-treme sport clips, but in the end it face plants hard into the cinematic pavement. While I will not be generous to this film, I will begin this review by mentioning how proud I am of Out Cold. Again, this was nowhere near a good film, but as a person that watches films on a consistent basis, I saw Out Cold as a film that tried really hard to be humorous, original, and creative, but just failed miserably. One must give credit to those films that fail while trying, because so many films today just, honestly, fail to try. Unoriginality seems to be a common theme among these tween films, as big boobs, beer drinking, and cliché characters invade the screen more often than humorous dialogue that invades your mind and into modern culture. Out Cold aims towards a general audience that I despise. That audience is one that will pay top dollar for stupid humor that demonstrates no talent and a considerable lack of creativity. Why do we, as audience members, do that? Is it that difficult for us to laugh at intelligent humor? While Out Cold did not begin the trend in Hollywood, it did contribute to it, and thus continuing films like Date Movie, American Wedding, and Dude, Where's My Car to plague our theaters.I think I have spoken enough about my personal belief on why this film was a wart on the back of Hollywood, so let's look at actual reasons why this film tried and failed. I have to get this first one out in the open. Why, painfully I ask this question, did the filmmakers see the quality in combining tween humor, snowboarding, and Casablanca together in one film? The first two matched, but the last was just pure rubbish. Outside of an adult audience, not many children or teens would catch the classic Hollywood film reference, thus completely ruining the remains of a dying film genre. Now, when the audience of Out Cold actually connect Casablanca to Out Cold, they will say lines like "This movie is just like Out Cold". This makes me so angry. If parents would raise their children correctly in film most will say, "Out Cold took quite a bit from Casablanca", instead of the other way around. Casablanca needs to come first. With that said, our biggest pitfall to this film was the characters. Were there any? Great question! I didn't see any. Instead, I saw actors reacting to certain situations. There were no definitions to anyone. Sure, one could argue that there were some "characters" with Pig Pen and Inga, but when I see these moments, I see clichés, not characters. Anyone can play a druggie, stoner, big-breasted woman, town idiot, and so forth, but it is how that actor chooses to redefine that overused character that really sets a film apart from the rest. Nothing of the sort happened here. Jason London was horrid as the title character, and his supposed girlfriend was as bland as Illinois. Jason's friends were obnoxiously unexciting and Lee Majors walked on set, said his lines, and walked off. Again, there was nothing of value. Nobody went beyond the lines on their script, which ultimately hurt the overall viewing experience of this film.If I were to pick one element that kept this film from completely drowning would be the use of David Koechner, of whom I cannot help but laugh at whenever he opens his mouth. He is the prime example of what I was hoping the direction would be for these filmmakers. He was a unique character for Bull Mountain and thus created some of the better lines for the film, if only the rest of the cast would have taken his lead. Yet, I do not blame the cast for it all, the filmmakers (the Malloy brothers) had to make the underlying decision to either make another tween film, or sharpen the humor and aim towards a smarter audience. As you may or may not have noticed, they went with the latter. The entire "King of the Mountain" bit was horrendous, not because of the storyline element, but the fact that everyone's beer was flying, nobody recognized anyone, and only the characters we were familiar with were winners. Just disrespectful to the rest of those that inhabits Bull Mountain. The funniest bit that I think the Malloys were able to pull off were the brotherly pranks pulled when one was too drunk. The first one with the polar bear was not funny (rather juvenile), but the one with the car continues to put a smile on my face. It was this type of humor that I was expecting the entire film, but overall continued to keep falling short. Overall, Out Cold felt like your last pick to be your date for prom. Sure, there were some elements that were decent enough to smile at, but most of the time you were embarrassed to be seen with her in public. I am tired of this tween genre of film, and while I know that due to an increasing decline in intelligence in our theaters we will only continue to see more of this type of movie, I am still tired of it. It is as if most directors are just using the "cut & paste" feature on their editing machines bringing us the same jokes that have been told once with success, but over time, they just become boring. Again, I will say that of most of the films in this genre, Out Cold did try a bit harder to be beyond the mold, but in the end it was nothing spectacular. I don't think I could muster the strength to watch it again.Grade: ** out of *****

Out Cold

This review is from: Out Cold (DVD) Movie was in good condition and I received it pretty fast considering the holiday season.

So stupid that it's funny!

I know that the movie had some gross humor, but for the most part it was agood movie. I wasn't sure what to think when the movie first started, butyou get to know the characters and all of the lines become funny. Not anaward winning performance, but it will make you laugh. For me, thesnowboardscenes were impressive and Jason London(Rick) really fits the part of whoheis supposed to be playing. (He will drive some of us girls crazy.) Somesaythat it is juvenile humor, but all the "juvenile' scenes are ones thatmakeEVERYONE laugh. Some were too bad for me to watch, but other scenes madeupfor it! Those who say that they didn't laugh are not telling the truth.Besides the scenes with the half naked women prancing about, it was a goodmovie.

Outstanding

This was an incredible movie. The plot was enjoyable, the characters were well-developed. The music was truly amazing - don't look for it on the soundtrack though, none of the good ones are on it. ...

Funny Movie

This review is from: Out Cold (DVD) This movie is point-blank hilarious. If you like corny, funny movies, you need to buy it. My husband wanted it for Christmas, so I bought it for him. I watched it and could not stop laughing.

You've got to be kidding

Are you people serious? Is this what passes for comedy in todays sad world? This is by far one of the biggest abortions of a film...no, movie I've ever seen. To call it a film would be a slap in the face to an art form that I have such respect for and if you have any respect for the art of film than you will distance yourself from this dibacle. There's stupid comedies (Dumb and Dumber, Austin Powers) and then there's this. There are not enough adjetives in the english language to describe how bad this movie is. Please avoid this film like the plague and if you want to see a real comedy watch something like "Rushmore".

Far from perfect, but very enjoyable.

If you've read any of the other comments for this movie, then you'veprobably realized that this movie is far from perfect. It's easily one ofthe dumbest movies I've ever seen. But unlike the "critics" and a majorityof the other people who have commented on this movie, I think that's agoodthing.I like stupid movies. Dumb & Dumber, Dude Where's My Car, Naked Gun 331/3,BASEketball, A Night At The Roxbury, Tommy Boy, Big Daddy, and Mallratsareexamples of irreverent comedies that have received an IMDB rating of 8 orhigher from me. I've recently added Out Cold to that list. If you enjoyedany of the above-mentioned films, then you'll probably like this one too.The story is pretty simple; Anthony lives in a small Alaskan town andspendsmost of his time snowboarding with his friends on the neighboringmountain.A big city businessman comes to town, buys the mountain, and quickly turnsthe town into a ski resort. His daughter is actually Anthony's long lostgirlfriend, so Anthony must choose between winning her back and getting asecure job at the new resort, or keeping the traditions of the mountain(freedom and fun) alive with his friends.Of course, the plot isn't important. What is important are the humor andthecharacters. Personally, I thought this was a very funny film. It isn't asfunny as many of the movies I listed above, but it's better than manyothercomedies I've seen (BLACK KNIGHT, ME MYSELF & IRENE, and BILLY MADISON forexample). I was laughing fairly consistently throughout the entire film.Once or twice there was a joke that fell flat, but overall it delivered.Thecharacters were very fun too. Anthony's friends include a pothead, a crazyguy, a cool ex-girlfriend, an in-the-closet gay man, andmore.I don't snowboard or watch snowboarding on TV, but I've been playing SSXonmy PS2 a lot lately. If you want to see this movie because you want to seeboarding action, then you should probably find something else. The filmstarts off with two really cool snowboarding sequences and from there it'spretty much snowboard free until near the end. In-between we get theabove-mentioned plot and several funny gags, many reminiscent of AmericanPie.Parents should be warned. This film is rated PG-13, but it's pretty closetoan R. Almost all of the jokes are Sex/Drug related and this film containsasurprising amount of nudity. The nudity consists of women taking theirtopsoff, and we can clearly see their breasts, but their nipples are blockedfrom view. There is also a shot of a man's butt and a lot of scenescontaina statue of this bare-assed man.8/10

I saw this movie with my good friend Gary, and he "warned" me that thiswasgoing to be a stupid "Gary" movie. we both knew what to expect but therewas plenty to laugh out loud about. most of the plot waspredictable.the snow boarding scenes were very impressive.so if you like "juvenile" humor & snowboarding, go havefun.

The Six Million Dollar Man Vs. Victoria Silvstedt

OK, I'm a sucker for this type of film. I know it's something we have allseen a million times, but, darn it - we NEED this type of movie.Yeah, yeah, yeah…the story line's predictable: idyllic local winter skihaven (Bull Mountain) is under threat by a big-business tycoon's (LeeMajors) plans for turning it into a high rollers' resort town. And, yeah,yeah, yeah…the subplot is equally original: boy loses girl, boy wants girlback, girl has fiancé, boy must go through trials and tribulations to wingirl back, etcetera, etcetera, ad nauseum. Add a few crass scenarios, abig-breasted beauty (Victoria Silvstedt), beer and you've got yourselfanother boring teen-sex comedy. Right? Not so fast, partner.Out Cold joins the ranks of other great teen comedies (Animal House, BetterOff Dead, Caddyshack, and the hundreds of others) in its magical ability tostop time – if just for a moment. Like its predecessors, Out Cold capturesthat youthful time when friends surround us, we are having the time of ourlives and the party never seems like it is going to end. Those are our`rites of passage' years - generally, between the ages of 16-25 - nine veryshort years.Out Cold takes place in the fictional tiny-town of Bull Mountain, Colorado -elevation 10,000 feet – a winter wonderland of snow, skiing andsnowboarding. A place where there's always fluffy powder to plow through anda hilarious friend is at every corner you turn. There's always the local pubto chill in after a hard day of playing – the characters in these movies allhave jobs but no one seems to work. Loneliness is not an option. That's whatmakes this movie (these movies) great. Out Cold isn't just about gross-out gags with guys running around trying toget laid, it's about the escapism that these films offer. Even if you'venever experienced the perfect winter or summer vacation – even if you'venever gone to that ivy-league school where no student has homework – even ifyou've only dreamt about spending time at exotic locales with fun in thesun/snow – this is the reason why we NEED this type of movie. If only forninety minutes, these movies offer a fantasy or nice remembrances of timesgone by (or, to come.) For all of you naysayers out there who pooh-pooh this film on the account ofits wonderfully juvenile content, I say, `Go see Harry Potter, you bombasticmoralist and leave me alone!'

Somewhat Enjoyable

It kind of reminded me of an 80's movie without the nudity and language.This movie really could of been better with an R rating. Why have aPlayboyplaymate in a movie and not show her assets? I'm kind of perplexed.It'snot like it was a children's movie. Why make it PG13?
