It was a solid box office hit, though it had little lasting buzz. A safe bet when you want something reliable.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- A natural pick for people who get choked up at a comeback and people who need a good giggle. The sport matters, but the people playing it matter more.
- The mood
- Light and funny.
- The pace
- Fast-moving, at 1 hr 31 min.
- What might put you off
- Rated PG. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.

Pops isn't worried about the renewal of the lease for his ski lodge - the safety record is unblemished in spite of the crew of misfits who make up his ski patrol. But a scheming land developer has other plans and the ski patrol is thrust into a skiing showdown in order to save Pops' mountain.
