The only thing worse than seeing this movie is the fact that it plays automatically all over again when it's 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 don't even know the plot of this movie, and I'm 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 don't 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 couldn't find the "Give me my money back" option.

***EDIT*** It's currently selling at $.16 in the used section. That says something right there. It's almost tempting to buy to give to people. I go to a university out in OKC, and we've passed it around the dorm telling everyone "It's the best movie ever! It's 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!

The 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.

This 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.

"Copper Mountain" is hands-down the most phenomenal, brilliant and electrifying thing I have ever seen. Of course, that is complete bollocks. I am lying. This has to be the absolute worst movie of all time. It is a garish blight on the history of film. I remember when I pulled it out of the bargain bin at Wal-Mart. I should have known then by the $6 sticker that there was no way. But i popped it in anyway. After getting over the initial shock that my DVD player didn't spontaneously combust in repulsion, I came to the conclusion that not only would I not pay six dollars for this utter waste of plastic, I would not pay 19 cents!! I am honestly surprised that I didn't gnaw my own leg off purely for a distraction. In retrospect, I am happy that I purchased this agonizing piece of rubbish as I now have the antidote to happiness itself. The ennui produced by this film is so great that you can effectively show it to house guests who you don't want ever to return and they won't. Get "Copper Mountain" today, or alternatively, repeatedly drop a bowling ball on your left big toe.

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.

I rented this strictly out of curiosity since I heard it was bad. Guess what? IT IS. The plot here is almost non-existent. Jim Carrey and Alan Thicke, in Before They Were Stars mode, star as two single guys who go to Club Med Copper Mountain for fun and thrills. Jim can't be himself around women and scares them off, and Alan wants to be the world's best skier. That 20 minute plot is wrapped around 40 minutes of music. It is almost makes no sense. The film (all 59 minutes of it) also makes the now-defunct Club Med Copper Mountain look like a pretty boring place. This also reminded me of those specials they used to release in syndication to independent television stations during the 80s. The DVD does not have a start menu, no features, and repeats after it is over (which I guess is to torture the viewer).

This was Jim Carrey's 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 doesn't amount to anything more than Carrey's character Bobby Todd can't 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 Thicke's 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 there's no need to watch the film, unless you don't believe me.

This movie is terrible. Do not buy it. Really, I'm not exaggerating. I will give you this movie free of charge. You'll have to send me a SASAE, but other than that, it's 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.

This 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 Smart's Hymie the Robot has been up to! Otherwise, you would have to be a fan of skiing championships or the musical performers (see other reviewer's comments for musicians' names; I forget who they are) that dominate this overlong commercial.

The film has a realy bad picture & sound this thing made watching the movie and I'm bored, This star only for Jim Carrey not fot the movie.
