"Copper Mountain" is a truly horrible film with nothing to recommend it. Perhaps some might want to see it so they can see just how bad Jim Carrey can be or perhaps if you (like me) want to see as many of the Bottom 100 on IMDb films as you can.The film begins with two obnoxious guys, Jackson (Alan Thicke) and Bobby (Carrey) heading to a ski lodge. Jackson thinks that he's the greatest skier around and is quick to tell everyone. Bobby is an obnoxious loser who THINKS that because he's awkward with women, then it's okay to sexually harass them with his boorish behavior. For instance, one time he tries to pick up two women by doing a very broad Steve Martin impersonation and jumping into the hot tub with them. And, later, he walks into the women's steam room and once again the same ladies see him and run. He's about as likable as Ebola...on top of colon cancer! So, you have a fat-head and a pig who spends the entire movie doing mostly bad imitations of celebrities. Now that's a recipe for a fun movie. On top of that, the film has very little in the way of plot and lots and lots and lots of singing. It looks pretty obvious that the film was never originally completed and it only runs about 59 minutes and also has titles that appear to have been done by someone who had no idea how to do titles for a film. Why was it eventually released? Because Jim Carrey became famous. Otherwise, this 100% unfunny and untalented film snippet never would have seen the light of day.

The first movie Jim Carrey ever made, and the biggest surprise found herein is that the man actually got(or had) a career after it. The story revolves around two friends in the mountains, one of them there for a woman. They also go skiing. Yup, it's essentially Dumb & Dumber(yes, I realize that that came out more than a decade later, release dates are not the point), only, you know, not funny... at all. The cinematography is dull. The editing is lazy. To paraphrase Mystery Science Theater 3000: "This movie establishes the *heck* out of its location!" Had all of the shots of the area been taken out of the film, the running time might drop a noticeable percentage, although the same could be said for the music performances, but at least the music was reasonably good(really the only thing I can think of to say anything positive about). Technically speaking, this is just ugly. Film quality is poor and sound is no better. The humor is just not funny. Carrey spends much of the time doing impressions, but he's more embarrassing than entertaining to watch. The film keeps throwing celebrities at you, I guess to make up for, well, having nothing else to offer. The pacing is nonexistent. The running time is one hour, and this still manages to be a trial to sit through. What tiny iota of actual, bona-fide plot there is manages to be powerfully derivative, unoriginal and bland. Dialog is carelessly used for exposition, and there is done less than nothing to hide this fact. In the end, the whole thing just comes off as a long commercial for Club Med. The good news about this movie? It ends. I recommend this to, heck, I don't know, people who hate Carrey and want to see him at what could be argued to be his worst. 1/10

This is most likely a Club Med infomercial. On the other hand it could be the left over plot less footage of some privately funded movie that sort of drizzled out as the film crew ran out of booze. I was also thinking it could have been a one day project, thought up during one of Chris Farley's coke binges. This movie also holds strong evidence that Jason Lee will get old, invent a time machine, travel back to 1983, go to Club Med while they're filming Copper Mountain, and start singing soul music.I love Jim Carrey, and it's the only reason I bought this movie, but he's only got like 15 minutes of footage. I think the movie was really about Alan Thike. Sort of a "Growing Pains" portfolio piece.

There's no way around it, this is a very bad movie, the plot is virtually absent, the dialog is nothing great and the film quality is as if they filmed it with an everyday camcorder (from 1983). So, don't start watching this film expecting a well-written hilarious Jim Carrey film, as you will be quite disappointed.The only people that will have any interest in watching this film are the die-hard Jim Carrey fans (such as myself)...or I guess Alan Thicke fans. Other than that, there is really no need to see this film. Although, it is only 60 minutes, so it's a rather short film to watch.If you still feel the urge to watch this film, just keep in mind that this is Jim Carrey's first lead, and pretty much his first film all together, so don't expect anything great. Thanks for reading.
