Watch Copper Mountain For Free

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Best friends Bobby Todd (Jim Carrey) and Jackson Reach (Alan Thicke) from small town Grimsby come to a ski resort. Bobby is not a skier and has dreams of performing on stage. Ronnie Hawkins and his friends are doing an outdoor performance. Jackson is looking to enter into the big race. He has to compete for the last spot.This is before either star gets their big break. The production looks pretty weak as a TV movie. Carrey gets to pull out some impressions. Thicke's character is an arrogant jerk. Ronnie Hawkins and his friends perform a few songs. The plot is a mess of unengaging characters. This is a movie to listen to some great old songs and see a young Carrey trying out some stuff. Otherwise, it's a bad movie.

So, where do I begin? Copper Mountain. Jim Carrey, Alan Thicke, this should have been good. It wasn't. This movie is an example on how to do everything wrong. I've watched the "classic" bad films, Plan 9 From Outer Space (1959) the Beast of Yucca Flats (1960) you name it. These films succeed because they keep bringing me back as a viewer. I know the people involved in making them cared, they wanted to make something great, and they failed. With Copper Mountain. The makers were clearly lazy, and did not care. The film revolves around two friends, they are played by Alan Thicke and Jim Carrey. Normally I would include the names of the characters, but they really don't matter. You won't remember them anyways. The friends are headed on a vacation to a Club Med resort in the mountains. Carrey's character does not associate well with the opposite sex (By not associate well, I mean is a total embarrassing socially inept moron) and Thicke's character is a want to be cool guy who comes across as a pompous ass. The two take on Copper Mountain and learn a little bit about themselves and life [...]Okay, I'll level with you. They don't learn anything. This entire movie is filled with lame plot points about Carrey's attempts to flirt with women, and Thicke's lame (very mean) jokes towards people he feels superior to (which in this movie, is basically the entire world). Aside from this, Copper Mountain is filled half with lame plot, and half with watching people play music at the film resort. This is what kills the film. I can deal with a socially inept main character, or maybe even a pompous one. But, the fact that half the film is really just music videos is what kills it. This is where the director gets lazy. As a film maker myself, I can understand how it goes. You have a demand from a film company, and they want a film of a certain length. So, to fill the time you leave entire musical performances in the film that have nothing to do with the plot. This works for making the film longer, but it kills the film in every conceivable way. Foremost, the film no longer is about your characters. The viewer gets lost in watching the music. Most film goers, want to find out what ends up happening to the main characters, even if it is a bad film. In Copper Mountain, the viewer gets too distracted by the prolonged music videos. I lost track of why I cared about Carrey's character, and why I hated Thicke's (even though I was supposed to like his character). What is boils down to is that I forgot why I even watched this. I like terrible low budget films. I watched this because it was a terrible low budget film. At the end of the day, I was really just watching some lame 1980s music videos, mixed in with some poorly written characters. Lame music videos and lame characters can fit into a world of their own. Mix them together so that the viewers forgets why they cared about either, and you have an epic failure. That's what Copper Mountain is. An Epic failure. I don't recommend it to my worst enemy, neither should you.

This movies plot if it has one is that 2 guys go to club med for a big adventure and supposedly do have a big adventure there are loads of things wrong with this movie 1: Jim Carrey and Alan Thickes character are supposedly best friends but they only see each other for around 5 minutes 2: for no reason at all every 5 minutes or so they(Random bands) break into song,3: Jim Carreys character says he can't stay himself in front of women so he starts doing impersonations of people like Steve Martin and Sammy Davis Junior?,4. he hops onto a stage with a band on it and talks to them for a while then bursts out singing while they are not happy at him and then they start to like him and he ends up singing around 5 songs and many more. Also at the end he says whats next meaning they've had a big adventure but I would like to believe they had. Overall I would love to like this movie and I will be generous and rate it 31%.

This is most likely a Club Med infomercial. On the other hand it could be the left over plot less footage of some privately funded movie that sort of drizzled out as the film crew ran out of booze. I was also thinking it could have been a one day project, thought up during one of Chris Farley's coke binges. This movie also holds strong evidence that Jason Lee will get old, invent a time machine, travel back to 1983, go to Club Med while they're filming Copper Mountain, and start singing soul music.I love Jim Carrey, and it's the only reason I bought this movie, but he's only got like 15 minutes of footage. I think the movie was really about Alan Thike. Sort of a "Growing Pains" portfolio piece.
