As she and Jonny grow closer and m the finals draw nearer. Kim could have the world at her feet - but can she overcome the obstacles and odds to triumph?

Chalet Girl review by PV
Silly, badly-written, wish-fulfillment girlpower Brit comedy

I see that lottery funding and the Film Council partly funded this film. Well, on this basis, I'm glad the Film Council is gone! This really is such a lame comedy - with trite predictable jokes and a ropey script wasted on the good actors. There is also a crude misandrist feminist message throughout: that girls are great and men are vile and/or useless. I look forward to the lottery funded a film that promotes the equal and opposite! According to this movie, all men are such useless cooks that they can only make beans on toast and can't even use a microwave! Yeah, right... According to this, all businessmen are vile abusive perverts. According to this, it's quite OK for a woman to physically assault a man by hitting him in the testicles with a ski pole. Well, would it be so funny if the man hit the girl between the legs with one? If not, why not?Discuss........
Anyway, I suppose this is aimed at young teenage girls with brains full of fluff and hormones - so aims for a wish fulfillment fantasy for every girl was wants BOTH to be like a boy AND to be a girly girl who marries a rich prince... Yuck.... The problem is, the sports footage is not good enough to appeal to the snowboarders - the vast majority of whom are boys anyway, so will be turned off by a girl actor pretending to do it!.............And the script is not good enough to make a good believable comedy - I didn't laugh once, but groaned throughout looking at my watch.............................................In short: this film is a good example of how not to make a comedy, and should be watched by all who mourn the loss of the Film Council, though 13 year old girls might like it. All others, avoid. Unless you want to watch Bill Nighy phoning it in with his usual posh defuddled character...
