Robert W. Anyone who reads my reviews knows that I'm a sucker for the 'teen chick flicks.' There was a time when I thought Amanda Bynes was an incredibly talented comedienne. I mention her because this film felt like an old school, fun times, Amanda Bynes comedy. In my books, that is a compliment. Chalet Girl is funny, cute, sweet, and even has some edge. It isn't your typical teen romance because the characters are early twenties or very late teens so its sort of a borderline adult comedy but still holds so much of the slapstick fun and romance of a great teen comedy. Add in some great characters a touch of a sports movie and it was simply fun. Is it Academy Award material? No, of course not, but it is completely entertaining and that makes a difference.Felicity Jones is outstanding. First of all, I think I just might have a crush on her. But besides that she is fun, and cute and full of spirit. She does terrific physical comedy and her wit and sarcasm is perfect for the role. Ed Westwick plays her love interest and does a good job. Its a far cry from his Gossip Girl character and that's a good thing for him. He doesn't get a lot of character development but enough to make him likable and have good chemistry with Jones. The supporting cast is really terrific. Tamsin Egerton as Jones' best friend, but starts out as her rival. Two very small but terrific roles by Bill Nighy and Brooke Shields, and a fun and quirky performance by Bill Bailey as Jones' father. The cast is terrific together and you will truly enjoy each character.I like when a comedy like this which is sort of light and fluffy can be smart too. I thought the dialogue was clever and fun and the film is easy to follow and the pacing is perfect. I think the film is a little intense or perhaps adult for the younger teenage crowd but anyone who is a fan of romantic comedies can rest easy in this one. Director Phil Traill comes from years of Television and he directs with a certain style that would be formulaic to television but somehow for this movie it works. I'm sure many will disagree with me but if you like something light and fun, Chalet Girl was truly terrific!! 9/10

alexandratopcool Personally I've been waiting for a really long time to listen to a movie that has my passion in it(snowboarding). There are plenty of dancing, fighting, baseball, soccer, hockey movies but never snowboarding. This is a movie that shows the determination she had to start a whole new sport and perform in it, yes the character use to do skateboarding but snowboarding has different basics! I think this movie was impressive the character was able to learn snowboarding in 4 months and be really good at it which is really rare! Plus I listen to One Tree Hill (Sophia Bush)and Gossip Girl (Ed Westwick)regularly so the movie already seemed a lot more interesting. I would recommend this movie to all the winter fans because at one point in the movie we see fresh powder. Of course this movie is not made for people who do not know the sensation of snowboarding they don't know why she always goes back to the hill to practice. :P

cheeky-jackie Hi I won't go into detail about the film because it's not fair on others before I watched this film I was upset and mad at someone but when I was watching this film it took my mind of it and some parts made me laugh.I loved chalet girl it was amazing it was funny and romantic I Really hope they make a second one with the same cast otherwise it Won't be the same. And I would recommend this film to anyone. If I had to rank this film I would give it 99.9% because it basically had everything it had romance, comedy, friendships and all sorts. Some people may disagree and say the film is rubbish and stuff but you should take notice of them so what if they don't like the film other people might and instead of listing to other people you should watch it yourself.

nwsts I won't go into detail because it doesn't deserve it. I write this review only to warn off folks getting the mistaken impression that this is a winsome movie....it is not. I'm not sure what's going on with the high praise, for example, Rottentomatoes currently ranks this movie with 84%. Odd for something so highly unoriginal and unfunny. Worse still, it has a straight-to-video look that adds to the lightweight feel. I was bored to death waiting for something interesting to happen. All of that said, it is certainly a passable, albeit boring, film to watch and I can only presume that this quality is what is generating the passing marks being given out by RT critics and IMDb users. My suggestion would be for a romantic comedy with a British flair try Bridget Jones Diary or The Holiday.
