I should have known when I read "a fantastic snow-mantic comedy" that I was in for quite the cinematic treat. Romantic comedies may come just as sappy, but none come quite as painfully dull as "Chalet Girl". Set in the picturesque French Alps, the film follows Kim Matthews, a young girl who's fall from grace in the skateboarding world leads her to plot an unexpected comeback as a snowboarder. Throw in a cheap love interest and some cutting edge snowboarding montages set to whatever is on "NOW Vol. 75" these days and you have "Chalet Girl". The cast is pretty much all over the place; you may recognize Ed Westwick of "Gossip Girl" fame, and of course there's the forever-drab Brooke Shields who appears for all of a couple scenes. Yet, the remainder of the cast consists of mainly up-and-coming young UK talent, although I use the term "talent" quite loosely.
