Ski School 2 USA, 1995 [David Mitchell] Dean Cameron, Bill Dwyer, William Sasso, Brent Sheppard Comedy / Romance |
Surprisingly humourous Canadian offering showcasing the talents of a whole bunch of people you'll probably never have heard of. Dean Cameron? William Sasso? Bill Dwyer? Nah, thought not. The plot is so hugely unoriginal as to barely warrant a mention and if you don't figure out what's going to happen in 5 seconds then you need to rethink the idea of further schooling. Needless to say this blatant rip-off of a hundred other movies is no detriment to what is, after all, the most important part of the film; the laughs. And there are loads of them. If you can get into the whacked-out style of Dwyer or the deadpan make-every-joke-count Cameron then you'll have a great time. Couple this with some fantastic extreme ski action, beautiful scenery and great songs and you have a film that should have done better than a video release. Shame on you. |
