New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman
A good-natured, gleefully juvenile comedy in the tradition of such classic snowbound fare as 1984's "Hot Dog: The Movie."
Read Full Review >Chicago Tribune Robert K. Elder
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.
LA Weekly Chuck Wilson
There’s no point slamming this fart-and-burp teen flick, since the chortles of the 11-year-old boys -- and the men with an 11-year-old's disposition -- at a recent mall screening can't be denied.
Read Full Review >USA Today Claudia Puig
Can't decide what direction it's going in. Some of the time it seems to be a standard teen sex comedy. Occasionally, it appears to be spoofing the genre. It concludes on a romantic, almost honorable note.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Frank Lovece
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.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Dave Kehr
A ski party movie in which the clothes are a little more revealing than they were 35 years ago, the practical jokes are a little more tasteless, and the uncertainty over sex is pretty much nonexistent.
Read Full Review >San Francisco Chronicle Carla Meyer
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.
Read Full Review >Variety Dennis Harvey
A few minutes of good snowboarding footage -- all in the first reel, alas -- after which it's strictly downhill, bunny-slope style.
Read Full Review >Washington Post Michael O'Sullivan
I can't imagine why anyone would pay money to see this sorry excuse for a film, which plays more like a home movie than something from cinema professionals.
Read Full Review >Chicago Reader Lisa Alspector
As if to justify a serious discussion of this comedy before dissing it, some reviewers have pointed out that it evokes Casablanca. Maybe that's why the plot seems imposed on the characters.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Jan Stuart
It's the perfect image for a smelly and instantly flushable comedy that telegraphs punch lines in advance like a boorish dinner party guest.
Read Full Review >Film Threat Michael Dequina
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.

What can you say about a movie that includes its outtake bloopers reel before the closing credits?

Mikey p. gave it a10:
By far my favorite movie of all time... Especially after seeing "Casablanca." If you haven't seen Casablanca, Out Cold took that same plot and made it hip!
Tyler L gave it a9:
Well lets just start off by saying, island of the sun is a hell of a song, took me a while to find it, but i got it. But to the movie, it is a very good movie, hillarious.
Aaron T. gave it a10:
Freakin awesome and funny movie.
Joey K. gave it an8:
Just because this movie is a stupid teen movie doesn't mean it's bad. It's actually quite good, and damn hilarious if I do say so myself.
George R. gave it a10:
Bascially one of my top 10 films of all time, so it never won any oscar`s, always makes me laugh no matter how many times i watch it, as i eventually tracked down a DVD of it. IT IS A MUST SEE FILM.
Wil A. gave it a10:
The Best Movie Ever. " Carpe the diem... Seize the... Carp..."
Josh P. gave it a10:
