 Just plain bad April 9, 2009
Pat McCurry (Wilton, NH United States)
I rented this strictly out of curiosity since I heard it was bad. Guess what? IT IS. The plot here is almost non-existent. Jim Carrey and Alan Thicke, in Before They Were Stars mode, star as two single guys who go to Club Med Copper Mountain for fun and thrills. Jim can't be himself around women and scares them off, and Alan wants to be the world's best skier. That 20 minute plot is wrapped around 40 minutes of music. It is almost makes no sense. The film (all 59 minutes of it) also makes the now-defunct Club Med Copper Mountain look like a pretty boring place. This also reminded me of those specials they used to release in syndication to independent television stations during the 80s. The DVD does not have a start menu, no features, and repeats after it is over (which I guess is to torture the viewer).
This is not a comedy.. It's not even a movie November 22, 2007

This supposed comedy is only 60 minutes long. And that's the one good thing about it. Much of the time consists of concerts with various artists I haven't heard of. The rest is a series of unfunny scenes with no plot. It's not worth wasting your time or money on, even if you're a die-hard Jim Carrey fan. Even he isn't funny in this one.
I bet Jim Carrey wants this one back... November 9, 2007

I watched this movie after my brother - a condo owner at Copper Mountain - bought the DVD for a whopping one dollar, 50 cents. All I can say is... my brother got robbed on this purchase. The bad plot is only equaized by bad sound editing and really bad performances by a young Alan Thicke and Jim Carrey.
Funny thing is that I would at least expect it to be a good ad for Club Med since it appears this was sort of an early version of an infomercial. It doesn't even do a good job at that or showcasing Copper Mountain for that matter. It's bad plot, bad movie, bad infomercial, bad, bad, bad.
Interesting side note: The (at the time) super-deluxe Club Med at Copper now serves a different purpose... It's used for employee housing. I guess that goes to show how far luxury lodging has come since this movie was made.
 A incredible documentary for Champlin fans! March 10, 2007

Ok, this movie is not a real movie but a promotional advertisement for the Club Med. Bad script, bad acting, bad everything EXCEPT if you're like me a big fan of BILL CHAMPLIN, songwriter, musician and singer member of the Band Chicago. In this movie you will enjoy to see him performing 2 entire songs from his album "Runaway" ("Sara" & "Take it uptown") on stage. The movie also features Rita Coolidge performing the Boz Scaggs song "we're not alone".

This was Jim Carrey's first film and suprisingly not his last. Thankfully he found work in films that are actually worth watching. Copper Mountain has to be one of the top ten worst movies I have ever seen. The majority of the movie focuses on that no talent band that plays at the resort. Jim Carrey is listed first on the IMDB cast list, even though he has very few lines. The bottom line of the plot doesn't amount to anything more than Carrey's character Bobby Todd can't be himself around women, flies down a mountain on skis with his arms flailing around, he wipes out and two girls help him up, then all of a sudden he can be himself. And Alan Thicke's character Jackson Reach wants to compete in a skiing competition, and gets beat by an overweight bartender in a race for the final spot in the competition. The bartender Yogi later drops his spot in the race and gives it to Jackson. If you have read this there's no need to watch the film, unless you don't believe me.
