Synopsis: Bull Mountain is an Alaskan ski town where snowboarding cowboys rule the slopes. When "The Mayor" Papa Muntz dies, he leaves Rick (Jason London) in charge. His dying words are, "Don't go changing... Bull Mountain is an Alaskan ski town where snowboarding cowboys rule the slopes. When "The Mayor" Papa Muntz dies, he leaves Rick (Jason London) in charge. His dying words are, "Don't go changing Bull Mountain!" So Rick and his buddies Luke (Zach Galifianakis), Anthony (Flex Alexander), and Pigpen (Derek Hamilton) continue to chug beer at the local cantina, cruise the mountain for the best trails, and admire the hottest chicks. Everything's great until John (Lee Majors, "The Bionic Man"), a rich developer from Colorado, rolls into town in his SUV with "SNOWBIZ" plates. He's got his two stepdaughters with him--a voluptuous Swedish blond, Inga (Playboy Playmate of the Year 1997, Victoria Silvstedt), and a cute French brunette, Anna (Caroline Dhavernas). As they turn the town upside down, Rick realizes that it's time for him to make some tough decisions about his future and the future of Bull Mountain. OUT COLD does for snowboarders what CADDYSHACK did for golfers--it pokes fun at the stereotypes surrounding the sport, and makes caricatures of its devotees. The resulting comedy is surprisingly funny. The character of Rick is played with appealing wit, and he and Jenny (A.J. Cook), the token snowboarder jockette, have real chemistry. [More]

Reviews for Out Cold
As if to justify a serious discussion of this comedy before dissing it, some reviewers have pointed out that it evokes Casablanca.
Funnier than Woody Allen's last four movies, more exciting than Tarkovski's The Sacrifice, Out Cold will play best if your first legal beer is still far enough into the future to seem a vision of the promised land.
Basically a low-rent remake of the 1984 low-rent teenage sex comedy Hot Dog ... The Movie.
Even though no one in the film breaks a leg, Out Cold is as lame as it gets.
When Lee Majors can steal every scene he's in, your movie's in trouble.
Doesn't ever quite seem to elevate itself above an '80s 'youth against the establishment' genre film.
I can't imagine why anyone would pay money to see this sorry excuse for a film.
While the presence of pro boarders doing their thing might be a selling point for enthusiasts, the predominantly lame goings-on will leave others snow-bored.
As in the old beach movies, a great deal of screen time is devoted to the astounding exploits of stunt doubles, who here are riding powdered snow rather than waves.
Out Cold isn't the worst movie ever made. It is, however, one of the most pointless.
