Clark Griswold Surprisingly entertaining movie set in one of the greatest places in America, Aspen, Colorado. Many college kids and post-grads will be able to identify with the characters reluctance to enter the 'real' world. Instead living out many of our fantasies as ski bums and ski instructors surrounded by hot women and good booze.Nice casting overall. Rarely do you have a 'smart' hot lead like "Michelle" who (unlike many actresses in Hollywood films) seems quite real.This is a good date movie. It won't appeal to people expecting a bunch of overt T&A, though it is highly suggestive. It also won't appeal much to people who hate college kids, Colorado mountain yuppies, young professionals and fraternity/sorority types (conversely, it will appeal to those I just mentioned).In short, a good movie worth watching. It's fresh, with interesting new faces, yet still reminiscent of some good 80's romantic comedies.Nice movie. Will see again. Makes me wish I was in Colorado right now...
Christopher Smith The box for SHEER BLISS (also known as SNOW JOB and WINTER BREAK) reads, "Better than warm apple pie". This is no doubt an attempt to fool the consumer that SHEER BLISS is an AMERICAN PIE-style comedy when in reality, it is anything but. In fact, the only thing this movie has in common with AMERICAN PIE is cast member Eddie Kaye Thomas.SHEER BLISS is the hardest kind of movie to comment on. It's a movie that isn't bad, but not really good either. The movie doesn't seem complete. It appears to be like a very rough cut of what could possibly be a great movie. Nothing really clicks. Everything seems flat and emotionless. The humor forced. The characters one dimensional. In the end, the viewer is left unsure how to feel about the movie since it seems incomplete. *1/2
nature_girlie movie, with all the rules of basic teen movie. Still I was surprised by the well done filming. All the snow parts etc. Actors made good job, and it's always good to see new actors/actress', than those old boring ones :)If you like teen movies, you may like this!
jriz29 Sheer Bliss is a movie that rises above the general stupidity that is so typical of today's "teen movies" and has a surprising amount of substance. Perhaps this is because it takes place after college, but the characters are not as juvenile and the movie isn't about grossing the audience out. Naturally, with the presence of American Pie's Eddie Kaye Thomas and newcomer Justin Urich, the film definitely has its characters of comic relief. Primarily a love story about a guy chasing after a girl (who has a boyfriend), it doesn't drag on like so many other such films(Loser for instance). Having seen both the original version of the film in its rough form and the final version, the director did a fine job of cutting excess baggage and allowing the film to move along. The skiing in the film is well done with cinematography to match. Supporting characters to newcomer Milo Ventimiglia (who is likeable without being sappy and pathetic) are well done and come off as people you would like to know. Maggie Lawson as Michelle is a great character simply because she is smart, funny and sexy. A rare trio for female characters in "teen" movies. The movie is a great mixture of comedy, drama and romance, and definitely a good date movie. It's worth seeing, because despite how it may be advertised, it is a departure from the traditional teen flick.Also, for you James Bond fans out there, one-time James Bond George Lazenby makes an appearance as Campbell. It's nice to see him after 32 years.
