Four wacky guys take on a pack of rich stuffed shirts (does this premise sound at all familiar?) in this broad
comedy.
Rick (
Jason London) is a slobby but good-natured snowboarder who is mending a broken heart after splitting up with
Anna (
Caroline Dhavernas), a girl he met while on vacation in Mexico.
Rick has headed back to Bull Mountain, AK, where he and his buddies
Luke (
Zach Galifianakis),
Anthony (
Flex Alexander), and
Pig Pen (
Derek Hamilton) spend their days riding the slopes and their nights partying hard.
Rick and his pals hope to someday open a hangout for fellow boarders, but after
Papa Muntz, the city's founder and largest landowner, passes on, his son
Ted (
Willie Garson) sells most of his property to
John Majors (
Lee Majors), a wealthy but pompous developer who wants to convert Bull Mountain into Snownook, an upscale ski resort catering to yuppies. Determined to keep Bull Mountain safe for like-minded burnouts and radical skiers,
Rick and the gang declare war against
Majors and his associates, though
Rick feels a bit conflicted by the fact that
John is
Anna's father -- and his daughter is tagging along with her father as he relocates to Alaska.
Anna, however, has a rival for
Rick's attention, as
Jenny (
A.J. Cook), a cute ski bum, has shown her interest in him.
Out Cold was the first feature film from sibling directorial team
Brendan Malloy and
Emmett Malloy, who previously worked in television commercials and created several snowboarding videos.
