Courtesy of Netflix:
"A holiday ski trip turns into a weekend of screaming matches and bed-hopping when a father (David Rasche) invites his estranged son (George Newbern)--who's joined by five of his yuppie friends - to Utah for Christmas. Stephen Baldwin, Alison Eastwood, Claudia Schiffer and Robert Downey Jr. are among the eclectic cast of characters in this quirky sex comedy from director George Haas."
What Netflix really meant:
"A holiday ski trip turns into a weekend of gratuitous nudity as a group of people you don't care about do things you really don't want to see. Our marketing crew tried to sell this as a raunchy made-for-TV movie, but even Bravo wouldn't buy it, so this is what we ended up with. Be grateful that it's not longer."
Our hero plays marginally humorous ski instructor "Hans". RDJR obviously needed cash for rent, car, food or other unnamed necessities, for which you can use your imagination. Tacking this dead carcass of a film on him is like wearing Payless Shoes with your Chanel outfit. Sad, sad, sad. Honey, I'm so very glad you've got your act together now, because this was painful.
You know how you can be in the gym on the treadmill, and think "hey, I've only got 3 more minutes to go!" So you give it all you got for what feels like at least FIVE minutes, thinking your heart is going to explode - but when you look down at the display, you see that you've still got like 2 1/2 minutes left? That's how I felt while I was watching this. Let me off the treadmill, already.
Rating? How about a 2, for Hans' line about eating a snowball if he tells you to, because it might save your life.
Thank g*d that one's over with.
