About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you like old-school slapstick, snowy resort fun, and light crime-comedy mix-ups in the vein of Pardon My Sarong or Keep 'Em Flying; Not for you if musical breaks and repetitive gags wear thin.

Pros: lively slapstick; fun winter setting; amusing ski finale | Cons: too many songs; uneven writing; not top-tier duo
