Snow: The Movie

Me and the boys love this movie, brings back good fun old time memories of falls creek. As we were lucky enough to have a copy of this movie ,we still get together and watch it each year before we head up to the Victorian alps for a ski. Understandably you need to have a good sense of humor to appreciate this movie and a few drinks will also help, but at the end of the day its a old time Aussie movie about two Aussie mates heading up to the snow to have some fun, cause some trouble, and yes try and pick up chicks. This movie won't win any awards ,well good ones anyway, but if you can appreciate and remember the early 80s ski scene in Australia and you were lucky enough to have good crazy mates to live through it with you will probably enjoy this movie and have a laugh.

An excellent, funny view of skiing in Australia. Especially wicked are the caricatures of the various types of people which may be found on the snow fields of Australia.

Anyone who enjoys skiing will enjoy this movie. The fun of getting on (and *staying* on) the t-bar for the first time. Trying to get off the chair lift for the first time. The arrogant Europeans, especially the Germans, as they look down upon the locals. The BS merchants who just stay down the bottom and then "talk a good game" in the bar later on.

Some excellent comedy from David Argue and the, sadly, late Lance Curtis!

As Molly used to say, "Do yourselves a favour!"

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.

Last week my local video store shut down, and being a fan of both skiing and 'bad' comedies as many of them have been labelled (esp old and new school SNL films) & from the cover this film looked distracting if not cinematically brilliant. What followed was almost 40 minutes (I gave up after that point) of the worst, least amusing, waste of film that I have ever sat through. The filming was pathetic, the script was perhaps the worst and least coherent I've ever witnessed and even if you love these films, this crosses the line between funny bad and stomach turning, heart wrenchingly, uncomfortable on your favourite couch bad. In one word PATHETIC. leave this film, burn this film, aviod this film forever.

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.
