1) A incredible documentary for Champlin fans!   [Rating: 3 out of 5]
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".

2) Copper Mountain   [Rating: 1 out of 5]
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.

3) I will give you this movie.   [Rating: 1 out of 5]
This movie is terrible. Do not buy it. Really, I'm not exaggerating. I will give you this movie free of charge. You'll have to send me a SASAE, but other than that, it's yours for the asking. After you watch it, we can go for drinks and talk about how truly terrible it is. Perhaps a pact to slit our wrists or trepan our skulls will follow, which is more fun than watching it to be sure.

4) This is called turning a buck   [Rating: 1 out of 5]
This film is not really a film at all. It's extended footage of a concert with Rita Coolidge and a few other people singing at some resort in Colorado. There is a loose story taking place around the concert about Alan Thicke wanting to be a professional skier and Jim Carrey wanting to learn how to pick up girls. Ultimately, though, the plot makes no sense. The entire film is around an hour long and about 40 minutes of that is concert footage. The rest is a watered down meaningless plot. The film and sound quality are terrible to boot. Jim Carrey is the main character, and it's interesting to see him as a young man working the schtick he would later become famous for, but it's not worth the price of this DVD, unless you are a hardcore Jim Carrey fan. There's not that much good material here. Also, the DVD doesn't have any special features, or even a menu, even though it advertises as much on the box. The movie just plays as soon as you put the DVD in. This film is simply a production company that made a pointless terrible film with an unknown actor named Jim Carrey cashing in and making some money off the fact that he is now famous. But this movie has no redeeming qualities. Don't buy it.

5) Reviewer: Big Zach! NOT A KIDS REVIEW!   [Rating: 4 out of 5]
This is not as bad as some people say it is. Yes I do agree that some of it might be stupid and cheesy and Jim Carrey is only in there for 15 minutes in it. But it is still good because of those 15 minutes of the film. I am a die hard Jim Carrey fan and this is definetly a Jim Carrey classic. He does lots and lots of things and imitations from his act and did it in this movie. I just dont understand why the picture is so bad it was only 1980! It looks like a movie from the 40's!. Another thing htat I do not like is all the singing its pretty stupis. But anyway not hilarious but overall a good movie.
