SnoopyStyle On Whistler Mountain, Dave Marshak (Dean Cameron) leads a group of misfits including his best friends Fitz Fitzgerald and the sleepy Ed Young in the Section 8 ski school. They face the All Star Ski School led by Reid Janssens in the Annual Spring Pageant. Dave has an eye for his girlfriend Lori. John Roland is the new kid on the slopes. It's a world of pranks and sexual escapades.It wants to be Animal House on skis. Dean Cameron has a certain charm. It doesn't rise up to that level. It's not even close. There are boobs. There are jokes. It has a sense of innocent fun. It's a very lightweight sex comedy.
Vic_max This is movie is probably generation-specific; I'll bet you could appreciate it much more if you saw it in it's day. Seeing it today, it comes across as innocent and light-hearted rather than laugh-out-loud funny. It's geared towards the slacker mentality of the early 90s: partying, goofing off and women.In the movie, there are basically two ski school groups who are at odds with each other: rich/elitist/serious skiers and slacker/party-focused lunatics. They use the Whistler Pageant competition to determine which group should remain at the resort and which should go.The film is clearly geared to high-school males. There's beer, nudity and lots of girls (none of which have any real speaking roles). There are a few colorful ski scenes which are interspersed throughout the movie, but the it mainly takes place indoors than on the slope.It may appeal to you if you're looking for a light-hearted teen-party movie (and moreso if you like ski themes). Otherwise, there's no point in seeing it.
queenb80 I never saw Ski school because I was looking for Citizen Cane on the slopes. I saw it because Dean Cameron was in it and that was enough reason for me. I wasn't disappointed at all. It's about this ski team (Section 8) of misfits who basically ski very well but also love to play practical jokes on the uptight ski team. They get threatened with being thrown off the slopes and must retaliate. The best thing about this movie (other than the multi-talented team of Dean Cameron and Stuart Fratkin) is that most of the script was written by them. The movie plays like a bunch of guys goofing around (Helium theater is my favorite). in short, this film kicks a**.
wim hiemstra It's a great movie for everyone who likes comedy. Two groups battle against each other both on and of the mountain. Reid Janssens, one of the leaders of a ski-class (section 1) takes skiing real serious and is sometimes an ego-maniac when it comes to teaching how to ski. The other leader (section 8) is Dave Marshak. The only thing he teaches to his class is partying and that ski-school is not learning how to ski. Reid wants to be King of the Mountain and is willing to take any risk to get rid of Dave. Dave on the other hand is setting up scenes to make section 1 like a couple of fools. The beautiful surroundings and, of course, the pretty women make this movie complete. I bought the video on sale and saw it more then 15 times, I guess. But it's still a great movie!
