The late founder, Papa Muntz, was famed for skiing with his butt exposed, and in fact is so memorialized by a statue.

But there's a complication: Rick met Majors' stepdaughter Anna on vacation in Mexico, and he's never gotten over a crush he had on her, even though she's about to marry a great guy, and Rick is also fiercely loyal to his friends.
Leave your thoughts about Out Cold.
| Film Journal InternationalEthan AlterThere's really nothing to recommend about Out Cold. |
| Globe and MailDon IrvineFunnier than Woody Allen's last four movies, more exciting than Tarkovski's The Sacrifice, Out Cold will play best if your first legal beer is still far enough into the future to seem a vision of the promised land. |
| IFilmDave WhiteIt sort of sucks, but you'll still secretly have a pretty good time watching it. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderIf you've made a movie in which former TV star Lee Majors ... is the funniest person present, then you have surely made a movie that sucks a lot. |
| Chicago ReaderLisa AlspectorAs 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. |
| Filmcritic.comFrank OchiengThe direction is pedestrian at best, and the laughs are little more than sporadic, nervous chuckles. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanA good-natured, gleefully juvenile comedy in the tradition of such classic snowbound fare as 1984's "Hot Dog: The Movie." |
| Chicago TribuneRobert K. ElderThere’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. |
| New York PostLou LumenickA cheerfully dopey snobs vs. slobs teen comedy. |
| TheFilmFile.comDustin PutmanNot only unexpectedly enjoyable, but also kind of sweet. |
