Beautiful scenery in Canada, incredibly hot love scenes in the unrated version (make sure you get the unrated version if you're a guy), and a fun, twisted plot, make this a sensational evening's entertainment. Corey Haim is the epitome of "cool" in this film, making any young guy wish they were him. He has a great job as a resort activities director in the snow, a really nice girlfriend, and the boiling hot Nicole Eggert on the side. It's not Citizen Kane, nor meant to be. It's just good, strong, primal fun.

Was this a perfect film? No, not many are, but there were too many good elements to count it out as easily as some have. Everyone comments about the style of dress and hair not fitting the period, and I'll agree to some extent, but as someone who was around during that time, I can tell you that the style of the early 80s was not as dramatically different from now as that during the heart of the 70s. I would have liked to see some older style cars in the background, and more people with over the ears hairstyles, but they were professionals and had to look the part of people going to pro jobs.

Do ivy league people speak that way in real life? I'll bet some do, but I don't really care, because I don't always want real life in a movie. I loved their wit, sarcasm, and wordsmithing skills, and thought Eigeman and Keeslar delivered their lines brilliantly. The plot was weak and loose, if existent at all, but I enjoyed it as a window on some quirky peoples lives,regardless of whether it went anywhere. I am sooo glad it wasnt another cliched disco movie about sex and dancing. Overall a fun character study worth seeing twice to catch nuances, as Des would say.
