Average Rating: 2.9/10

Consensus: A party movie that substitutes surfs for snow, Out Cold will leave viewers just that with its gross-out humor and sophomoric plot.

Runtime: 90 mins

Genre: Comedies

Theatrical Release: Nov 21, 2001 Wide

Box Office: $13,850,403

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!" So Rick and his buddies Luke... 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]

As if to justify a serious discussion of this comedy before dissing it, some reviewers have pointed out that it evokes Casablanca.

Although its main plot is a disposable low-rent ripoff and its leading players generally bland and undistinguished, there are some truly amusing supporting characters.

In failing in every base it tries to cover, there's no point in seeing Out Cold, for such preferable alternatives exist.

Out Cold is basically Porky’s in the snow, and it’s a pale imitation at that. You can’t go into this movie expecting anything innovative.

Its only redeeming value is the killer snowboarding scenes.

Out Cold is essentially a spineless, unfunny Animal House. The pretence of plot is distracting and insulting.

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.

The result is so derivative, they should've called it Eskimo Pie.

Basically a low-rent remake of the 1984 low-rent teenage sex comedy Hot Dog ... The Movie.

I would mention that Out Cold boasts some pretty impressive snowboarding sequences, but so do most TV commercials.

What can you say about a movie that includes its outtake bloopers reel before the closing credits?

If you've made a movie in which former TV star Lee Majors ... is the funniest person present, then you have surely made a movie that sucks a lot.

Even though no one in the film breaks a leg, Out Cold is as lame as it gets.

The best that can be said of Out Cold is that it is generally more lame than obnoxious.

Funnier than it has any right to be and it's generally enjoyable.
