  Copper Mountain: A Club Med Experience Average Rating: 1.5 Total Reviews: 14 More Information This is not a comedy.. It's not even a movie  On: 2007-11-22This supposed comedy is only 60 minutes long. And thats the one good thing about it. Much of the time consists of concerts with various artists I havent heard of. The rest is a series of unfunny scenes with no plot. Its not worth wasting your time or money on, even if youre a die-hard Jim Carrey fan. Even he isnt funny in this one. I bet Jim Carrey wants this one back... On: 2007-11-09I watched this movie after my brother - a condo owner at Copper Mountain - bought the DVD for a whopping one dollar, 50 cents. All I can say is... my brother got robbed on this purchase. The bad plot is only equaized by bad sound editing and really bad performances by a young Alan Thicke and Jim Carrey. Funny thing is that I would at least expect it to be a good ad for Club Med since it appears this was sort of an early version of an infomercial. It doesnt even do a good job at that or showcasing Copper Mountain for that matter. Its bad plot, bad movie, bad infomercial, bad, bad, bad. Interesting side note: The (at the time) super-deluxe Club Med at Copper now serves a different purpose... Its used for employee housing. I guess that goes to show how far luxury lodging has come since this movie was made. A incredible documentary for Champlin fans!  On: 2007-03-10Ok, this movie is not a real movie but a promotional advertisement for the Club Med. Bad script, bad acting, bad everything EXCEPT if youre 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 "were not alone". Copper Mountain On: 2007-02-18This was Jim Carreys 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 doesnt amount to anything more than Carreys character Bobby Todd cant 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 Thickes 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 theres no need to watch the film, unless you dont believe me. I will give you this movie. On: 2007-01-14This movie is terrible. Do not buy it. Really, Im not exaggerating. I will give you this movie free of charge. Youll have to send me a SASAE, but other than that, its 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. I will give you this movie. On: 2007-01-13This movie is terrible. Do not buy it.

This is called turning a buck by: zachfree On: 2007-01-05 This film is not really a film at all. Its 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 its interesting to see him as a young man working the schtick he would later become famous for, but its not worth the price of this DVD, unless you are a hardcore Jim Carrey fan. Theres not that much good material here. Also, the DVD doesnt 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. Dont buy it. Reviewer: Big Zach! NOT A KIDS REVIEW!  by: Anonymous On: 2005-08-22 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 40s!. Another thing htat I do not like is all the singing its pretty stupis. But anyway not hilarious but overall a good movie. Are you kidding me? On: 2005-03-06The only thing worse than seeing this movie is the fact that it plays automatically all over again when its over. This is a glorified music video of horrible music. Jim Carey should not be on the cover of this movie either, as he is in about 15 to 20% of the whole thing. They should have had whoever the musical artist was. I honestly dont even know the plot of this movie, and Im not kidding. I laughed so hard out loud ... when I had to read the back of the DVD case to remember what it was supposed to be about. The sound? They interlaced two songs (one in your right speaker, one in your left) that dont even match. If you want an idea for a good movie, read the back of this DVD case, and follow that plot, as the director sure steered clear of it. Alan Thicke ... I thought I knew ye! Oh, and I gave it one star only because I couldnt find the "Give me my money back" option. ***EDIT*** Its currently selling at $.16 in the used section. That says something right there. Its almost tempting to buy to give to people. I go to a university out in OKC, and weve passed it around the dorm telling everyone "Its the best movie ever! Its SO funny!" blah blah blah ... then, they get mad after they lose an hour of their life, but have no problem passing it around to others and doing the same to them! Don't Bother On: 2005-01-08This movie is awful. Sound and audio are terrible. Jim Carrey should be embarrassed.The only thing that could help this movie is to turn it off. Only for Jim On: 2004-12-15The film has a realy bad picture & sound this thing made watching the movie and Im bored, This star only for Jim Carrey not fot the movie. YYYYYYEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!  by: korn20 On: 2004-11-29 This movie is so freakin COOOOOLLL!!! Check it out, I grew up 6 miles away from where this was filmed, and it really did take place at Club Med in Copper Mountain, Colorado! They even drive through the Eisenhower Memorial Tunnel on their way there!!! My roommate owns a condo in Copper like right next to the Club Med and you can totally check out the exterior of his building in this amazing film!!! For all you Colorado ski buffs you need to check this out because its so bad its amazing. Mr. Bojangles is the man! Idiotic, boring, nonsensical waste of time On: 2004-08-07The acting was stiff and vapid, the filming was grainy and amateurish, the story was non-existent. A good Rx for insomnia, this forgettable piece of rubbish has only one redeeming quality: Seeing young Jim Carey trying to make the most of a boring script and insipid role. A Glorified Commercial On: 2004-07-06This thankfully brief title cannot even be called a movie; it is a glorified ad for the ski slopes and entertainment at Club Med. It is only worth a viewing if you REALLY have to see a young Jim Carrey doing good impersonations of Steve Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. singing Mr. Bo Jangles. And if you want to see what Get Smarts Hymie the Robot has been up to! Otherwise, you would have to be a fan of skiing championships or the musical performers (see other reviewers comments for musicians names; I forget who they are) that dominate this overlong commercial. DO NOT BUY THIS!!!!!!!!! by: Anonymous On: 2004-06-01 This is the worst movie ever. Jim was only 21 years old when he made this movie and there is ABSOLUTELY nothing funny about it! 95% of this 60 minute movie is Rita Coolidge, Ronnie Hawkins, And Bill Champlin singing and a bunch of skiers skiing. Take my word for it Copper Mountain(A.K.A Club Med.) is eeeexxxxttttrrreeeemmmeeellllyyyy BAD! If you want to see a funny Jim movie watch Bruce Almighty, Ace Ventura or Liar Liar instead. Even Jim himself has said this movie was a big mistake. |
