This sophomoric little gimmick picture -- although at times, serving as no more than a showcase for daredevil snowboarding -- provides enough powder power to keep the audience laughing, even over the rocky parts.
Out Cold! Incredibly hilarious movie.Come on it features Zach Galafanakis waking up and realizes he is getting his junked licked by a polar bear, need I say more?
Even the snowboarding scenes that might have been the visceral heart of this thing are cut in such a way that we never get more than a few seconds of full-frame athletic skill; despite the real-life snowboarders doing the stunt work (including Rob "Sluggo" Boyce, Tara Dakides and Javas Lehn), it all looks like editing-room cheats.
A purposely inane mishmash of maudlin love story, gastrointestinal gags and shredding snowboard scenes, Out Cold has a couple of laughs but mostly wipes out.
If you want laughs, just about every other comedy playing right now is good for one giggle, which is more than you'll get here. Just don't waste your time or money on Out Cold.
This movie has a really bad story line and awful characters. The one positive to this movie is that it has several really funny moments that make it worth watching, if you like bad comedies.
I gave it a 2 because that's how many times I laughed. The characters were so lame I ended up rooting for the bad guys. I even went out back and got stoned and watched it again and it still ****. The snowboarding was cool, but why not just watch snowboarding and lose the rest of the junk.
My friends told me that I *had* to see this movie because it was so unbelievably hilarious. I have to agree with the critics on this one: "Out Cold" is so bad that it isn't even fun to watch as a joke. It is one of the most thoroughly unfunny comedies I have ever seen. How bad does a script have to be to make Zach Galifianakis unfunny? This bad.
