ShangLuda Admirable film.
Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Destroyer Wod Most of the time i don't agree with IMDb users rating. We don't have the same rating i guess, personally a 6 for me is a boring movie with few redeeming quality when a 8 is a good movie but thats it. To go under 6 the movie need to really be horrible. And here we got it... I do love brainless comedy American Pie style, and when reading the back cover it says American Pie meat Animal House. I never saw animal house, but i can say that this have nothing to do with American Pie. Sure AP had some over the top sequence, but overall the story was fun, the gag made you laugh a lot and you could feel for the characters.Here all i was saying when watching this was "WTF is that?" its so stupid its not even funny. Its almost like watching a Scary Movie except in that case you know what you sign on, here you think you will just get a funny teen over the top comedy, but there is so far you can go "over the top" if i can say so...The only redeeming quality of this would be some nice snowboarding tricks(but there is not very much of them) and a few boobies of playmate girls. But like somebody said before, rent a porn movie and you will get way more nudity and even a better story.I said it a couple times, but having all characters be a total bad caricature is not gonna work, you can have 1 or 2 sure, but they need to have something special, it worked in harold and kumar, but this was well input. Anyway ill finish on this, glad i didn't paid much for this and save yourself a few bucks, buy a coffee, a muffin or whatever, you will spend your money a better way...
maniacdave And damn if I didn't have a good time. Filled with some wickedly bad acting inter-spliced with some wickedly bad hardcore shots, that's all this movie really is; a $2.99 porno. Except those hardcore shots are on boards not broads.Plus the fight scene in the bar kicked ass!Oh and the floaters in the hot tub. Now I know someone will go a be like,"the fight scene was better in (insert any movie with a budget consisting of more than beer)" or "there were better jugs in Super Sex Sluts 49 & 3/4 (also had a budget, gotta pay the porn stars something). But seeing as I picked this movie up for the change in my pocket at the time, I wasn't expecting any Oscar winning performances. Hell I wasn't expecting acting much less some big mountains...
jberghem When you start watching Frostbite you get the feeling it's going to be a great commercial comedy like American Pie or the Girl Next Door, but this feeling is out the window as soon as the characters are introduced. The acting quality is that of an adult film but then without (very) explicit scenes. The script is badly written and the delivery of it is even worse. You get the impression they filmed the first dress rehearsal of the film and never bothered to take any time for Take-2. There is no rhythm in the dialog, at all!! like – "eh… oh my line." There are some beautiful ladies in this film and also some misplaced Hip-Hop music-video style nudity, (bimbo's in a Jacuzzi) but it would have been better had they just skipped the dialog. In fact the best acting is brought by Traci Lords which is quite surprising considering her "acting" background. My compliments Traci! You should do more movies where you keep your clothes on! The one thing that possibly redeems this film is the snowboarding scenes. They are of magnificent quality and are accompanied by some great music. It's almost like you switched the channel to an extreme sports program. The editing and cutting of these scenes are off the top shelf. Conclusion: If you want to see pure unadulterated snowboarding of the highest caliber and discuss the radical moves with your friend during the dialog scenes which build the non-existent plot of the movie, I'd say rent the DVD. But if you want to see some acting talent, then go see your kids' high school drama play. All in all it's better to spend the money on something else.
thesociety The movie starts out with its most intelligent joke, and goes downhill from there (pun intended). After that there's lots of potty humor and sexual situations. The beautiful women were the best part of the movie. Swear-word puns are not meant to be central idea jokes, but they try it here. The battle between the two groups in the local town (richies and poories) is an old tried and true setup, so how could it go wrong? Well, there is no reason to envy the "richies" nor any reason to feel sorry for the poories, so we can forget the central plot. The situational humor is all toilet or sexual aimed at teenagers, but only garners giggles, no true belly-laughs.The only thing that salvages the comedy for this movie is the character humor, with the blind man providing some rehashed, but seldom used setups, and the black bar owner providing the formulaic "street" or "hood" humor. OK, forget the jokes, there has to be some killer snowboarding shots since this was a commercial enterprise. Unfortunately, there was only 4 seconds of backdrop action that might be inspiring. The rest was all "B" grade tricks or worse. The big moment, where the main character rides "the goat", a man-killer ski run, did provide one shot where a small avalanche eats the stuntman. This was the best of the boarding in this movie. Any serious snowboarding fan will be disappointed with the quality of the stunts in the movie. As for the technical aspects of the movie, the soundtrack was average, which surprises, as those snowboarding documentaries are regularly filled with quality tunes. You can catch a lot of editing mistakes and even though it was shot on a ski mountain, the majority of "scenery" shots failed to convey any sense of true size. Overall, it MIGHT be worth watching if you have managed to turn your brain completely off and you like silicon breasts. Even then, you wont remember a thing from this one two days later. Snowboarding is still waiting for it's definitive comedy, you'd do better to watch a snowboarding documentary for sure.
