Lots of women with plenty of breast shots, with and without clothes. It shares many of the attributes of so many trashy R-rated films: 1: The nudity is at the beginning and the middle, and the "plot" (such as it is) comes together at the end. 2: You never see more than a PG-rated shot of the leading lady. I'm not complaining, but that seems to be the case a LOT. Is there some unwritten law about that? I suppose it's the only way they can get any self-respecting actress to do the movie. Part of Star Status is not having to show your breasts. 3: There's a wet-T-shirt contest scene. Standard issue. 4: The plot is thin and predictable, everybody is always horny, and Good triumphs over Evil in the end. Two noteworthy points. 1) If you're a real fan of the Dr. Pepper guy (also of An American Werewolf in London -- I forget his name), he costars and is the only decent performer in the show (pun intended). 2) The skiing, I'm told by a skier, is terriffic. She says enduring the trash was made up by the skiing. Lots of fancy stuff, including ski ballet, which I had never seen, but which looks interesting and difficult. In short, if you're not outright offended by nudity and thin writing, and you like skiing at all, and you just want to kill 1.5 hours and $3.50 (in these parts), go for it. Not a real high recommendation, though. ---- -- Allan Pratt ...decvax!ihnp4!inuxc!iuvax!apratt
