SKI PATROL (Theatrical Release USA 1990)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.5|5.0 Starsììì

Ski Patrol—comical film styled for the 'beach party movie' mindset—works on the level of the beach party movies developed for teenagers during the 1960s. This movie uses light romance and comedy tossed together in a straightforward, predictable storyline. Low key, easy-on-the-mind watch has its own place in entertainment. For an adult, this movie stands as it is. It’s a quick time filler and move on to 'new and better things' watch.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?

No. It has its place in the entertainment industry, but that place does not work at the higher entertainment level for time and money spent. It organizes itself to obtain a few chuckles at the more frivolous level.
