Out Cold (2001)

The Worst Film Ever

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Out Cold is a little-known comedy gem from 2001 that has somehow managed to find its way on my list of movies that I watch on a semi-regular basis.The film is set in the fictional ski town of Bull Mountain, Alaska, a place which manages to maintain its unpretentious, laid-back small town atmosphere despite being located in an area famous for its great skiing and snowboarding. The plot focuses on a group of young twenty-something local residents who enjoy snowboarding, getting drunk, getting high, and playing practical jokes on each other. Leading this group of likable misfits is a man named Rick Rambis (played by Jason London), who is unable to form a relationship with attractive snowboarding instructor Jenny (played by A.J. Cook) because he is still pining over a girl he met during a drunken binge in Cancun, Mexico.When wealthy businessman John Majors (played by veteran actor Lee Majors) steps in with the intent of buying Bull Mountain and turning it into an Aspen-like "espresso and tofu" resort that caters to rich yuppies, the residents of Bull Mountain begin to fear that they will all be fired and forced to leave town. Adding to the turmoil is the arrival of Majors' two daughters: Inga, (played by former Playboy Playmate of the Year Victoria Silvstedt) a gorgeous blonde bombshell, and Anna (played by Caroline Dhavernas), Rick's old flame from his Cancun vacation.What follows is a slobs versus snobs comedy in the tradition of "Caddyshack" and "Animal House" as the locals try to stop their town from being taken over by Majors and his cronies. The film also directly parodies Casablanca in several parts, with Rick finding himself in a situation similar to Humphrey Bogart's most famous character from his most famous film.The acting or script will never win any awards, but the film does provide enough humor to make it worth a rental. It also features some truly impressive snowboarding footage performed by some of the top snowboarders in the world. I also feel the need to mention David Koechner, who provides a hilarious performance as Stumpy, a hard-drinking, tall-tale telling local who is probably insane.One complaint I have about the movie is that it feels like several scenes were edited or removed entirely so that it would be given a PG-13 rating rather than an R rating. Hopefully someday an unrated DVD will be released.I give this film a 7 out of 10. It's not a classic comedy, but it's entertaining enough to be worth a rental.

i am not the kind of person that enjoys the "produced to make people laugh because of the stupidity of... just about everything that concerns me" kind of movies, but... this movie was hilarious! i laughed my pants off through the whole thing. the script isn't great, the characters aren't analysed to a psychological level, the actors aren't world-renowned, but i'm freaking lovin' it... don't actually know why. it's something about the whole "feel" surrounding the movie, about the fact that they aren't trying to produce something that will turn the world round, but most of all - about the dialogue. i don't know... did i mention that it was hilarious? it's been some time since i laughed so hard. it just makes you want to watch it again and again and again... and i can't wait to finish writing this review, so that i can watch it once more. man, i love this movie. the only reason i didn't give it an A+ is because i'm very protective of that grade. but, honestly, this movie deserves it.

This is an excellent movie. There is some seriously awesome snowboarding that has been captured in this movie. Out Cold is a guy humor movie so if thats what you'll like then you'll love the movie...The main storyline revolves around a guy named Rick who works at a small time resort in Alaska called Bull Mountain. A high and mighty business owner comes in to take over the mountain and turn it into another million dollar resort. The story details the trials that come with the take-over and the groups rebellion. This movie presents a pretty accurate account of college life and that which comes after it.Watch it and you'll be hooked forever!

Seriously this movie is great, brilliant, stupid humour, it is a muck around movie, to sit around with a bunch of mates and have a great laugh, that is all you will get.the car spinning scene is a crack-up! you have to watch it to believe it! Anna is a gorgeous little girl that any man would love to hook up with at Pedro El'Hornys.Lee Majors plays a great role as the baddie, but was really good. I have fond memories of this movie, because I was on my honeymoon in Jamaica with a seriously bad fever, and this came on the TV and it cheered me up great! I saw it 5 times.Pig pen and Luke are great together as odd couple brothers and Lance the "gay" guy and the black dude fits in perfect, cant snowboard, but is there for fun!
