It was painfully hilarious to suffer through. I've seen Plan 9 from Outer Space, I've seen Lord Love a Duck. I've probably seen a few surf movies, which genre this one would fit. At any time in the movie everything else is louder than the dialog. One has to wonder if the Arab routine ended on the cutting room floor with everything else. It was clear as soon as they started the filler music (well okay, if you're a Rita Coolidge or Ronnie Hawkins fan, maybe not filler) 2 minutes into the movie, that this plot was not devised by Machiavelli. Not that there are a lot of good ski movies (aside from Warren Miller and Teton Gravity), but Snowball Express is a tour de force compared with this (same comic schtick of having the greenhorn ski down advanced slopes, only in the Snowball Express he supposedly does it backwards). I think this movie could be helped by Woody Allen dubbing it into Japanese.
