      Todd V Such a classic. A lot more nudity than i remembered. Some good lines. Could not be made today. Not quite PC but that's the beauty of it. Kiss my azz right in ze center!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/24 Full Review Audience Member A sports sex comedy that tests the sporting limits How much of a hot dog can you be when it comes to skiing? A group of teens compete in a national championship in California resort against the European Circuit A newcomer named Harker joins the ranks but can they win? Considering the European sponsors are running the competition certain skiers are cut from making it The skiing scenes are beautifully shot, love this 1980s soundtrack, and the sport itself is handled almost like a ballet The competitors take this very seriously Of course there's sex and nudity as you'd expect The final ski showdown is my favorite portion too since they raise the stakes so much with everyone involved It's no surprise this has gained a cult following since its release 40 years ago and earned a place in the ski culture For sports fans it does its job well Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/14/24 Full Review Chuck C If you are a skier this is an absolute must-see. Hurry up and check it out before it gets banned. Its sophomoric humor is loathed nowadays but any Gen Xer will appreciate its over-the-top crude sex jokes and raunchiness. The skiing while dated is still fun to watch. The hidden co-star of the whole movie is Squaw-oh wait-can't say that anymore-Palisades Tahoe. Enjoy it while you can. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/24/23 Full Review Audience Member This is cliche sounding but it's basically "Caddyshack" on Skis. Terrific 80's comedy that's aged like fine wine and i put it right up there with Animal House, Porky's and Caddyshack as among the best of the 80's. Young and energetic cast, great ski action, great music and soundtrack, lots of partying, drinking, mild drug use, and T and A. How can you go wrong?! Best watched with some friends and a fridge full of beer (preferably Coors heavy.) If you like 80's pop culture, skiing, sports movies, comedy, or "raunchy" comedies, you MUST see this movie. It's one of my favorites of all time! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member A national cinematic treasure. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Good plot but way to much unnessicary sex scenes. If there were less sex or better sex, it would be better. The sex is only showing boobs. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/03/20 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
