Copper Mountain

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
