this movie was hilarious

i am not the kind of person that enjoys the "produced to make people laugh because of the stupidity of... just about everything that concerns me" kind of movies, but... this movie was hilarious! i laughed my pants off through the whole thing. the script isn't great, the characters aren't analysed to a psychological level, the actors aren't world-renowned, but i'm freaking lovin' it... don't actually know why. it's something about the whole "feel" surrounding the movie, about the fact that they aren't trying to produce something that will turn the world round, but most of all - about the dialogue. i don't know... did i mention that it was hilarious? it's been some time since i laughed so hard. it just makes you want to watch it again and again and again... and i can't wait to finish writing this review, so that i can watch it once more. man, i love this movie. the only reason i didn't give it an A+ is because i'm very protective of that grade. but, honestly, this movie deserves it.

Good for some laughs

If you are looking for a fun film with no real message to it, you will enjoy "Out Cold." You have to go in expecting nothing. Although the humor was mostly teenaged-boy humor, the movie did made me laugh and made me want to learn to snowboard. all around, just a fun, kick back and chill type of movie.

willing suspension of disbelief

this is quite possibly the funniest film that hasn't won any awards of all time. the film as a whole isn't very good but it's just so quotable. there are so many great moments that you have to see over and over again. this movie definitely grows on you. it's one of those where someone has to introduce it to you enthusiastically for you to get it. the plot is kind of stupid, but the individual situations make up for it. carpe the diem...seize the carp and watch this movie. everyone wang chung tonight!

Just like a comedy from the 80's--only good!

I was surprised by this comedy...obviously not a "good" movie in a Citizen Kane or Rashoman sense, but still a very effective comedy. Most of the performances are up to par, especially the hilarious scene-stealing Zach Galifianakis. Definitely worth a rent if you're in the mood for a good laugh. HA! Just like that.

O M G< WHAT A FUNNY MOVIE

This movie is my fav movie cause i snowboard and well the movie is al snoboarding adn i lke to drink and this movie they booze alot and i like to have a good time and that is this whole movie if u like any thing that has stupid funny jokes then you should definitly see this AND go and buy "GRIND" its this movie but skateboarding!

Genius

Hands down, finis, no contestare: this is the funniest movie ever made. I thought I was going to break ribs laughing so hard last night. This movie is a quantum leap funnier than anything like "Animal House" or "Dodge Ball.""Out Cold" sends up every exhausted cliché' in the movie making biz, smartly, dead on, and funnier than I thought possible. The actors who are the most talented (Galifianakis, London, Garson, Koechner, and almost Lee Majors) nail gag after gag with straight and august virtuosity. Galifianakis especially kicks every scene he's in in the n@ts of funny. John Belushi could only wish he had a vehicle like "Out Cold" to show his stuff in. . . Never seen a movie like it. If you thought "Dodge Ball" or "Animal House" was funny, adjust your viewing settings appropriately and prepare to get assaulted by comedic genius.

AMAZING!

I've had this movie for years now and every time I watch it I'm still laughing my ass off! It shows what it is really like in the cold ski towns of Alaska and Canada. Pig Pen is amazing and reminds me of myself. Its a must see.... it goes good with Super Troopers! Its one of my favorites... its up there with Bio-Dome... and In The Army Now... If you like snowboarding or movies that are like the ones i listed then you'll for sure appreciate what a great movie this was. I wish they'd make another like it. The snowboarders they got to do the stunts were very talented and it was even better when they weren't "perfect" and don't fall. They wipe, and man does the one guy take it hard. Great Movie!

Not as bad as critics said

Sure this movie was no award winning piece, but it was entertaining for the most part. people who went thinking they were seeing some serious movie about snowboarding may go away upset that there was more to the movie than some snowboarding tricks. I think the continual "Casablanca" references were lost on the people at the movie since many of them were late teens early 20's. I'm only 28, but atleast I had seen this movie so when they used pieces from it, I was albe to see the entertainment in it. I think this movie does exactly what it sets out to do, entertain & take your mind out of the real world. Its a senseless comedy with a loosely planned story around it that which is good, if thats what you plan to see. If you are going to see tonnes of snowboarding trick & special stunts, find something else to watch. If you want to spend an hour & half just watching a goof ball movie that you will laugh at occasionally this will be exactly what you want. I paid $8 (CDN) to see this & found it NEARLY worth its money. A.J. Cook & Victoria Silvsted didnt make it too bad on the eyes from a male point of view either.

Bourgeoisie + Bong Jokes = Fun - Just Don't Think Too Hard

Who knew complete inanity could be so fun? Apparently music video veterans Brendan and Emmett Malloy, whose debut film, Out Cold, practically drips the kind of nonsensical stupidity that made movies like Hot Dog... The Movie famous - if, by famous, you mean cult classics. The previews basically say it all: a bunch of permanently-sodden snowboarders do stupid stuff, cool tricks, and have a hell of a lot of fun, while producing laughs aplenty.

See, there's this guy, Rick (Jason London, To Wong Foo), a snowboarder and instructor in the tiny Alaskan hamlet of Bull Mountain. Bull Mountain is basically the kind of place where you can go and do whatever the hell you want, a Dionysian Cicely where Rick has surrounded himself with friends Anthony (Flex Alexander, She's All That), Luke (Zach Galifianakis, Corky Romano), Pigpen (Derek Hamilton, Disturbing Behavior) and Lance (David Denman, The Replacements). Rick wants to date Jenny (A.J. Cook, The Virgin Suicides), but can't seem to get over a fling he had with a Lolita-like girl he met in Cancun (Caroline Dhavernas, Lost and Delirious).

When real-estate developer John Majors (Lee Majors, the Colonel from "The Six Million Dollar Man") shows up to turn the town into a yuppie haven of sushi bars, espresso machines, and Porsches with chains on the tires, Rick and company realize it spells the death of their happy-go-lucky lifestyle and decide that freedom is more important than yuppie dollars. They then devise an Animal House plan to get their town back. Along the way, the humor ranges from slapstick (getting your male parts caught in a Jacuzzi) to satire (some excellent semi-spoof scenes from Casablanca, Fight Club, and Gladiator) to Cheech and Chong-style bong jokes. Yes, there's something in this film for everyone, and if you can't at least find one of the stupid things that goes on in Out Cold to laugh about, you might to check your pulse and thaw yourself out a bit.

We had better get used to this `Tween Time for the next few years - the time between when the most recent Harry Potter film debuts and the next Lord of the Rings installment hits theatres. Studios are rolling out their lowest-rung fare to try and scrape a few bucks away from the approximately 40 American moviegoers who won't be at those movies. The problem is that Out Cold got nestled in with the rest of the tripe, and is going to get far less attention than it probably deserves. If you're tired of Potter and waiting for Frodo, perhaps it's time to get out in the cold.

This movie is a great movie.

This movie is a great movie I think. Its a great comedy, if you have a since of humor you would love this movie, its very funny, and they got great actors in this movie. I would give it a 10/10! Great movie, you need to see it if you haven't. So make sure you get it and see it because its hilarious, and if you don't like this movie you gotta have a bad since of humor because its funny. Jason London is a great acter, and he did great in the movie and so did the woman who played his ex. There were beautiful woman in the movie, funny jokes, everything was great about it. So what much more could you ask for in a movie. So make sure you see this movie and I'm sure you will very much like it its worth seeing.

Delivers what you expect

In the tradition of raunchy ski movies of the past Out Cold hits on all the classic cliches with a no attempt at innovation, but what do you really expect? Kubrick never made ski movies. I wonder if he had the sense of humor for it. The ironic dark humor of Dr Strangelove would not be appropriate for the genre. The requisite dick and fart jokes are more Kevin Smith's area, and even he has grown beyond that.The key things required are a wacky race on snow, menacing authority figures, inept authority figures, hot chicks, booze and drugs humor, and an anti-hero who delivers in the end. All of these elements arrive on schedule, as I said not innovative, just fun.If you are in the mood for the Pianist, watch Adrien Brody. If you are in the mood for goofy good times you could do worse than picking Out Cold.

What do You want to know?

This is an Old movie most of the people should have already seen it, But if you have yet to see it, it is really funny and has a little romantic side to it. Decent movie all in all.

Depends on the Consumer

Though the original reviews for this movie were really really bad, i think it all depends on the person watching it. I am a teenager and found this film to be extremely enjoyable. Adults would not appreciate this movie very much and thats why it got such bad reviews, the reviewers are most likely adults. I would also suggest this movie to the many snowboarders out there(which i am one of) this movie is HILARIOUS! It makes you want to move somewhere like Colorado or Alaska just to check out what it's really like to live in a town composed of mostly snoboarders. For those of you that are not snowboarders.... It will make you want to learn. Though I wouldnt recommend this film to adults, if u are an extremely bored teenager in need of some entertainment, this is the movie for you. And also watch it without ur parents in the room.

I Thought It Could Have Been Better!

When I was going to the theater I was thinking that I was going to love this movie! I Love snow boarding and I was glad that a movie about snow boarding was in theaters. After walking out of the theater I was disappointed. The movie was filled with teen aged boy humor. The plot was shaky and the acting wasn't the best I've seen in these days in "typical" teen movies. The only good thing about the movie was that A.J Cook stared in it. I loved A.J. Cook in The Fox Family Original TV Series Higher Grounds and she played the role of Mary Lisbon in Virgin Suicides very well also. There wasn't much snow boarding action in the movie, but when their was it was very entertaining, I just wish their was more. Over all I rate this movie as a *** out of ***** All credit to A.J. and snow boarding

best movie ever

I LOVED this movie! Everything about it made me teary-eyed with laughter. The adlibs were great, the whole Ski-School-esque influence perfect, there's nothing I can say bad about this movie, except that it's not beaten out Titanic or Star Wars, and never will. GREAT fun, go see it a trillion times.

Cool

I thought this movie was great, I loved it!

Hilarious! Pure Comical Insanity! Go See This Movie!

I'm sure that you have seen the gut-spillting T.V spots by now. (The spinning car gag) However, Out Cold is that and much much more! The film centers around a group of friends who have been working on the same Ski and Snowboard mountain for years. Now, though it's being sold and they are the only ones who can stop that from happening. It does sound like the same old stories of the small guys stopping the big buisness men and it is. The way the movie does it is the orginal part though. You will be laughing almost constantly as the jokes never stop coming and never get old. The guy who gets spun in the car (I never caught his name because I was laughing too much) is by far the funniest character in the movie. Whenever you can go see this movie if you are in the mood for some comedy where you don't have to think about it for days to get the jokes.

I can't even begin to describe this movie

Definitely one of the dumbest movies of the year (but for the title of "Dumbest Movie of the Year", it will have to compete with "Freddie Got Fingered, among others). But, if you go into the theater without expecting much, you will probably laugh. I was infuriated by the various comments that said this is the funniest movie ever, because it certainly isn't.It's full of cliches - the annoying teen-movie romance, the drunken party-loving jocks, the locals with funny accents - and it definitely should've been rated R (the MPAA has lost all their bearing in the practice of letting trash like this just get away with enough sex, drugs, and crudeness to keep it at PG-13), but there are just so many dumb jokes that you're bound to laugh at a few. You'll leave the theater slapping yourself for laughing at it, but maybe you just couldn't help it. If you want an example of the kind of humor used in this movie, take for example the scene in which the employees of the ski resort are told to do their business in a cup for drug tests...and one employee brings back a cup full of his feces.The bottom line: Don't expect more than a horny guy's vision of a crude movie which will appeal to other horny guys.

Go See Out Cold!

Out Cold is such a good movie! I was sceptical at first but it is such a great movie. I really like skiing and winter so the snowboarding footage was great, I am ready for the season. This movie was a lot funnier than I expected. I was rolling on the ground during many parts. If you liked American Pie, Road Trip, Scary Movie or anything like that you will love Out Cold.

I know I shouldn't like this ... but I do.

Yes, the movie is juvenile. Yes, the movie has some gross out moments. Yes, the plot is basic.

But it is still fun! I know that now that I am in my twenties, I am supposed to be more into classical films and literature, and modern smart and well written films and literature, and I am, but I also really like movies like this.

Films like Out Cold, Hackers, Grind , etc. all have that same magical combination of good times, outrageous skills or situations, comedy, adventure, and some deeper meaning. Ultimately, these types of movies speak to the inner child in all of us, especially those of us that missed out on some of the light hearted teen years, due to some reason, or another.

Don't watch this movie to learn anything, or to expand your mind. Watch it to have a good time, and get some great laughs.
