Luckily it was half price day at the thrift shop, so instead of $2 they only charged me $1.That said, I just can't pass up a ski movie no matter how bad. My dream is to run into Jim Carey and ask him all about this piece of work
... View MoreLong before Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994), The Mask (1994), Dumb and Dumber (1994), Batman Forever (1995), The Cable Guy (1996), Liar Liar (1997), and The Truman Show (1998) came a little known movie called Copper Mountain which was released in 1983. It's interesting to note that this movie only resurfaced following Jim Carrey's meteoric rise to fame following the box office success of Ace Ventura: Pet Detective in 1994. Jim Carrey was box office gold and audiences came in droves to check out his own brand of rubber faced, energetic slapstick comedy.Copper Mountain was one of Jim Carrey's early movies which showcased his own brand of comedy that audiences came to love. Unfortunately, Copper Mountain is one of the worst movies ever. To describe it as terrible is not doing it any justice. The humour is lame, the entire movie is of poor quality, and the entire plot is pure nonsense. The finished product resembled a home movie done on the cheap.The movie was so unbearable, I couldn't even finish the movie. In fact, when we hired this out on video at the time, we stopped this movie to re-watch Titanic instead.Any copies of Copper Mountain on video and DVD are as scarce as hen's teeth, and you may have better luck finding it on YouTube. Whether you are a Jim Carrey fan or not, avoid this movie at all costs. It's painfully atrocious. It's probably for the best if this movie disappears from our existence and becomes extinct.1/10.
... View MoreAwfulThis movie is a 1hour long "live" Concert film with bands I've never heard of. It has no point, no nothing. Carrey travels with a friend to this Ski event and thats about it.. he does a bit of what, he later on has been known for, weird faces and humor.. but in this movie without the humor. Special appearance by Jean Claude Killy, whom I've never heard of before, but this movie changes that.. They show him in front of a helicopter and gives you his entire Resume. Won this, did that etc..Well.. To sum it up... don't get me wrong, I'm a big carrey fan, but this movie ain't worth it for even the biggest fans.Regards Jan (DK)
... View MoreIn short, avoid this like the plague unless you're a glutton for pain and misery. This is the one of the worst films I've ever seen, and I've seen "Manos: The Hands of Fate." It's the antithesis of good cinema. You know it's a dud when you see the film crew in the reflections of the actors' sunglasses and hear two different songs clashing simultaneously over a skiing montage for several minutes.You might enjoy it if you like hicks with huge aviators singing lousy renditions of classic songs or stock video footage of amateur skiers slogging down the slopes. Jim Carrey's character is a clumsy oaf who does impulse celebrity impressions, one of which was a pretty good Steve Martin, the rest of which were pathetically unfunny and instantly forgettable, like the entire film.Skip this one.
