Snow: The Movie

I saw this movie in 1984. My mates and I absolutely love it. The only problem is we cant find a copy of it in Australia anymore. If anyone reads this and knows where I can find a copy of it please let me know. What is surprising is the number of good actors in the movie. Forget that it looks like it was made with a hand held video camera. Two blokes win a weekend away to the snow, car hire and glove box full of cash included. They are typical Australian characters. Probably help you are already pretty drunk before actually watching the movie. If you are not too fussy about quality, script, visuals etc then grab a copy. then when you are done send it to me.

I first watched this film when I was quite young, and have to say that it remains one of my all time favourite comedies. It's expected to be said that if you like ski-ing, and would like to watch a film about ski-ing then this is well worth watching. Don't listen to anyone bad mouthing this film, you have to watch and appreciate it.

Typical Australian humour.

I can't believe eight writers worked on this s**t. Stick to acting Mr Argue, cause this bombed out attempt of comedy, that only offers a few laughs, less than tasteless comics in their moment of standup, goes nowhere. You know why-because there's no frickin' story. Argue who works on the ice rink, wins a car in a competition, so him and his dimwitted mate head to the snow. They make real a**es of themselves out there on the alps and inside the hotel lodge, as with these two hotties, not even acting, speaking as though, they're in reality, where you'd much rather be in, than this film. Thank god, at least we have Peter Moon, his presence, the best moments of this mess, as a sleazy manager, running the motel, trying to score with our hotties, and I guess you can imagine how that works out. The best thing about this, is it's beaty song at the end of the film, as well as it's end, 73 minutes too late, as it so happens. This crap, makes '84's Hot Dog-the movie, look superior.

Whoops! They fell down on their skis again! Whoops! They fell down on their skis again! Whoops! They fell down on their skis again! Whoops! They fell down on their skis again!

Oh, look! A poster with a monkey holding skis! Hilarious!

A bar with a talent show with a pudgy host and two sing the song "I Like Tits." A wet t-shirt contest??

I don't know anyone except the cast and crew that would give this movie the 10/10 reviews. It's NOT a satire on ski culture. It's just a lot of bad sex jokes and falling down.

Two Aussies go skiing: hi-jinx ensues.

They fall over in the snow. Repeatedly. They walk in on naked women. Repeatedly. They have unkempt scruffy hair, which they forget to brush. Repeatedly. You feel like reaching into the screen. And killing both these losers. Sadly, you'll only touch glass.Please believe me, I tried :( They have a friend with a horrible put on Scottish accent. Who wears a skirt rather than a kilt. There's horrible music. Throughout. It's labelled as a comedy. But it's never funny. It pretends to be part of the 'Nerds' series of films. This is a lie. It even falls short of those 'lofty' goals. I watched it through regular use of the FF button. Seeing it at regular speed would have damaged my brain irreparably. You want to take the chance, be my guess. I won't visit you in hospital. Except to nick your grapes. And point. And laugh.

P.S Sorry for the terrible quality of this review. Though it matches the terrible quality of the movie under discussion. So quite apt, wouldn't you say? Toodle-pip!! 1/10
