Released in early 1984, this movie is seen as a cult classic for those fans of 1980's raunchy comedies. The film is seemingly divided into two different parts where the first half of the film has the feel of a romantic type comedy showing skin. While once get to the ski resort, those scenes lessen and it becomes a ski/sports film and the true plot kicks in.
The plot is quite generic and nothing exactly clever. Some standout scenes, several of the scenes with a lesser known Shannon Tweed and a typical wet T-shirt bar contest scene. The scenery is great and the skiing looks solid but otherwise boring.
People seem to love this movie and rate it higher than it deserves due to nostalgia. Watching for the first time in 2023 (coming up on its 40th anniversary). It isn't nearly as good. The comedy is generic and nothing laugh out loud funny and the end is entirely too predictable with its happy ending. Solid lead characters but nothing memorable. Without the nudity this film would not be as beloved.
