Review: Honestly I bought this book becase it's about snowboarding. I wasn't expecting a great comedy (and didn't get it as a matter of fact). The actors are far from excellent and the humor leaves much to be desired, but I have to say that the snowboarding sequences are really good. Camera angles are great and I will end up watching this tape over and over just for that. If you are looking for a comedy get something else, but if you want to look at cool snowboarding filming this video is very cheap and will satisfy you.

Summary: Excellent!!!!!
Review: I am a snowboarder and I love snowboarding movies. I also like funny movies too, which is why I love this movie. At first I thought it would be very boring, but I was wrong. After I first saw it I rented it about 15 times (no joke) and I decided to buy it. It is a great movie, and all my snowboarding pals love it, but I do suggest renting it before you buy it.

Summary: Not even a good bad movie!
Review: I bought this video to take on a snowboarding trip with some friends. I fully expected it to be bad, but I thought it would be the kind of bad movie where you can still have a good time making fun of how bad it is, like on "Mystery Science Theatre 3000."I was wrong. The thing about all those MST3K movies is, they take themselves seriously, so mocking them is worthwhile. This movie doesn't take itself seriously -- it actually has the gall to think it's funny. But it is not. Now, when I say this movie is not funny, I don't mean it appeals only to certain sensibilities and tastes; I mean it is just empirically NOT FUNNY. The dialogue is stilted, the characters are idiots reading their lines, the snowboarding is lame, and the jokes, such as they are, misfire. Example: Varney, applying for a job with ski patrol, is told he will have to "wear two hats," working as both a PR man and also a safety consultant. He replies that he has lots of hats, and demonstrates by putting a sombrero on his head. Ha, ha. Maybe someone like Jim Carrey could breathe life into jokes this moronic, but Varney can't. After the hat joke (which came only about 15 minutes into the movie) I had had enough, and rewound the tape. My VCR ate it. Normally, that would have angered me, but in this case, I think the VCR was just trying to help.

Summary: Completely biased
Review: I think this movie is the funniest film since 'Truimph of the Will'. Snowboard Academy has it all: teen heartthrob Corey Haim, saucy euro-wench Bridget Neilson, the multi-faceted Jim Varney and the unstoppable juggernaut of SCTV, Joe Flaherty. But the real find of this stunning film is the amazing and over the top performance by newcomer James Salisko. This man is a powerhouse of entertainment. What sly wit , what eloquence, what a brilliant and original character he has created. Such a bold and brave portrayal of the usually hackneyed stereotype of the 'fat bartender'left this viewer agape in disbeleif. We've seen a bold new force on the horizon . And it's name is James......

Review: If you're a Corey Haim fan you might enjoy this movie, if you're not, don't bother. This movie has terrible jokes and even more terrible acting. Corey Haim offers little justification for why the movie is so bad. I myself am I big Corey Haim fan, thus the reason I bought this movie. I highly recommmend that you rent this movie before even considering buying it. I didn't do this and now the movie just sits on the shelf never to be watched again.

Summary: Corey Haim is the only bright spark in a very dull movie.
