Planet Sick-Boy (Jon Popick)

There isn't much you need to say in order to knock a film that stars Jason London and Lee Majors and is mostly built around Sir Mix-a-Lot's "Baby Got Back" â�� it pretty much does the job for you. Out Cold never once tries to be anything but a 90-minute ...read the complete Out Cold movie review at Planet Sick-Boy (Jon Popick)

I would mention that Out Cold boasts some pretty impressive snowboarding sequences, but so do most TV commercials. ...read the complete Out Cold movie review at eFilmCritic.com (Scott Weinberg)

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 the complete Out Cold movie review at The New York Times (Dave Kehr)

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 ...read the complete Out Cold movie review at TV Guide (Frank Lovece)

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 the complete Out Cold movie review at San Francisco Chronicle (Carla Meyer)

TV Guide's Movie Guide (Frank Lovece)

Dim-witted even by adolescent gross-out-movie standards. ...read the complete Out Cold movie review at TV Guide's Movie Guide (Frank Lovece)

New York Times (Dave Kehr)

As in the old beach movies, a great deal of screen time is devoted to the astounding exploits of stunt doubles, who here are riding powdered snow rather than waves. ...read the complete Out Cold movie review at New York Times (Dave Kehr)

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 the complete Out Cold movie review at Washington Post (Michael O'Sullivan)

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 the complete Out Cold movie review at Chicago Reader (Lisa Alspector)

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 the complete Out Cold movie review at Variety (Dennis Harvey)
