The Grand Master
Long before Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994), The Mask (1994), Dumb and Dumber (1994), Batman Forever (1995), The Cable Guy (1996), Liar Liar (1997), and The Truman Show (1998) came a little known movie called Copper Mountain which was released in 1983. It's interesting to note that this movie only resurfaced following Jim Carrey's meteoric rise to fame following the box office success of Ace Ventura: Pet Detective in 1994. Jim Carrey was box office gold and audiences came in droves to check out his own brand of rubber faced, energetic slapstick comedy.Copper Mountain was one of Jim Carrey's early movies which showcased his own brand of comedy that audiences came to love. Unfortunately, Copper Mountain is one of the worst movies ever. To describe it as terrible is not doing it any justice. The humour is lame, the entire movie is of poor quality, and the entire plot is pure nonsense. The finished product resembled a home movie done on the cheap.The movie was so unbearable, I couldn't even finish the movie. In fact, when we hired this out on video at the time, we stopped this movie to re-watch Titanic instead.Any copies of Copper Mountain on video and DVD are as scarce as hen's teeth, and you may have better luck finding it on YouTube. Whether you are a Jim Carrey fan or not, avoid this movie at all costs. It's painfully atrocious. It's probably for the best if this movie disappears from our existence and becomes extinct.1/10.

No matter how crap you think this film is - it launched Copper Mountain into a world renowned ski resort. Before this flick it was a single village family crap-hole. Now it's a 3 going on four village resort that gives Aspen, Vail, & Breckenridge fierce competition. If you go to Copper it's fun to watch this movie afterwards to see the changes. Make sure you check out nearby Leadville truly one of the best kept secrets in America. You can see Leadville on the sign at the end of the opening credits. Go to the Silver Dollar Saloon & Quincy's. Doc Holliday hung out in Leadville & it hasn't changed much since.Nonetheless this is a piece of history. The ski industry has changed so much - it went from cheesy to prestigious. This film happeneed right before the industry boomed.

This film was little more than a vehicle for Club Med and Rowdy Ronnie Hawkins. If you actually go thru the movie and time it, The musical numbers get more air time than Carrey or Thicke. Odds are this is something the two of them try to leave off their resumes. I will say Carrey is humorous in most of his appearances, displaying a dead on imitation of Steve Martin in one scene. My interpretation was the director realized that the story was only 20 minutes long and had to insert 40 minutes of concert to ensure it could at least possibly pass as a made for TV Movie.I got this as an Xmas gift, only saw it recently, and am going to trade it in ASAP. It's the thought that counts, but....yeah......
