Snowboard Academy (1997)

 On some level 'Snowboard Academy' is a con, I don't know if it was money laundering or a tax break or what was going on with this Canadian production, but the thought that it was intended as a legitimate profit making enterprise strains some credibility. It's not even really a movie, I would describe it as 'movie like'. It wants to make you aware of snowboarding, and that snowboarding is cool. While it is aware of the idea of comedy as a concept it's remarkably poor in its execution of jokes. The plot almost feels like it was constructed from existing tropes by bots, but this was too early for bots so I'm thinking aliens, because could a human really have written this? Staring Corey Haim, Brigitte Nielsen, and Jim Varney, who seems to be saving his good stuff for direct to video Ernest movies. *
