Teenagers, social differences, a competition, romance, few real seductive scenes and the expected end. A Disney film with all the familiar ingredients. And, sure, with young actors giving a not realistic but nice portrait of a special age. So, simplistic but far to be boring. Or bad.
Typical Disney movie trying to bank and promote an upcoming child star. As with all Disney stuff this is meant for the rich people out there. You have the nice clothes and settings. The movie was alright for what is it and again being a Disney movie after all. I have to say the production value appears to be above average though.
I didn't even get through the movie as every scene with Dove shows off her bright red and puffy lips. Now I find some people like this and I guess it is done to sexualize her but did we have to make it so big? If you google her and look at the photos she doesn't have the puffy lips. The problem with this is, of course, whenever she talks it appears unnatural. To me, it is gross. The close up gives me shivers. Reminds me of that one girl in the Transformers movie that had such a bad pair of puffy lips I cringed everything she was on screen.

Meet Kayla, an accomplished snowboarder who was kicked out of her team and forced to train with Will, a former champion snowboarder who is working as a coach after a video of him became a hit on the internet and ended his career.
If all preppy had parents like that, however, the payboys badboys usually have parents like Nick's, extremely permissive, arrogant, biased and ambitious (reminded me of the Nelsinho Piquet accident fraud)... good heart that redeems itself, the former injured athlete who overcomes himself, leads a team and trusts in his talent, and in the end everyone learns a beautiful lesson in respect, forgiveness and perseverance...

This is a movie about snowboarding. It was really good. The movie was a fun watch. The plot, characters, characters development, storyline was great. The romance is there was good too. I would recommend anyone watch this. This movie would make a great movie for a family to watch too.
The movie is a topical Disney. It just adds sport, that doesn't make the movie bad but it very predictable. You see everything coming from the beginning, if your looking for something new and different then it only meets half the requirements. Once again though the movie is very good and the snowboarding is also good.

[Pia and Linz rush over to help Kayla. They find her passed out on the bed and staring into space]
Pia: [nervous] Kayla, step away from the light!
Kayla: [talking crazy] It's like snow. Like the finest, fluffiest powder on a winter's day. One minute, it's there, and then, poof, my whole life just... melted.
