Chalet Girl Storyline

Pretty tomboy Kim Matthews, 19, used to be a champion skateboarder – but now she’s stuck in a dead end job trying to support her Dad. Opportunity comes knocking in the form of a catering job in the one of the most exclusive chalets in the Alps. At first, Kim’s baffled by this bizarre new world of posh people, champagne and skiing – but then she discovers snowboarding, and the chance to win some much-needed prize money at the big end-of-season competition. But before she can become a champion again, Kim’s going to have to dig deep to overcome her fears. Hard enough, without the complicating factor of Jonny, her handsome – though spoken for – boss…

Chalet Girl Movie Reviews

Its not a ‘downhill’ movie

Chalet Girl is a feel good movie and offers the viewer comedy, romance and some good photographic shots. Its a film which starts with Felicity Jones (Kim ) delivering a very ‘slick’ main character role. Her delivery of the part just hit the spot thus you felt you were there with her throughout the movie. I would say its definitely a gender type film, more a ‘girly’ movie but thats perhaps not fair as it has a ‘full rounded’ story which would appeal to both genders really. The storyline is simple, opportunity, relationships and fears. The overcoming of all is part of the simplistic joy of the film. I don’t agree with comments of the film being boring but perhaps my aforementioned comments re gender would support these negative reviews. The acting was very good and all roles complimented each other, fitting in and all loose ends were tied up. Also it was a pleasure to watch a film which did not need to resort to copious amounts of foul language. A nice, easy, enjoyable film which leaves one feeling lifted and has the ‘ahhhh’ factor.

Likable actors in predictable movie

Kim Matthews (Felicity Jones) used to be a hot skateboarding champ. After the death of her mother, she mysteriously disappeared from skateboarding and takes a fast food job to support her father (Bill Bailey). She tries to get a catering job in an exclusive resort in the Austria for four months but her low rent ways don’t fit the bill. Then a spot opens up and she’s all there is. The posh world is baffling to her. Georgie (Tamsin Egerton) can’t believe who the agency sent her as the new Chalet Girl. The family arrives with Jonny (Ed Westwick), his father Richard (Bill Nighy), his mother Caroline (Brooke Shields), his girlfriend Chloe and her brother Nigel (Nicholas Braun).

It’s a very conventional movie with questionable setups. I know she doesn’t want to skateboard but there has to be a better setup for it all. And they must be smoking something if they think holding back the reveal will elevate the emotions. Felicity Jones is suppose to be a tomboy but she has never given off that vibe in any of her movies. All she really does is wear less makeup and more regular clothes. She has to tomboy it up more. It’s also too unbelievable that the agency sent her for the job. The father is silly. Couldn’t they give him a disability that requires her to take care of him? I like a lot of the actors in this including Felicity Jones. They are bearable in this all too predictable movie. It is just relentlessly pushing the two leads together inevitably to their sappy relationship. This is a relationship that exists in movie montages. Other than taking no risks, there is nothing wrong with this. The rom is very predictable and the com is fairly bland.

Chalet Girl

I might have heard about this British made film during it’s cinema release, but I certainly came across it much better once it appeared on DVD, it looked appealing because of the good names in the cast, and it was rated alright by critics, so I watched it. Basically nineteen year old pretty tomboy Kim (Felicity Jones) is a former skateboarding champion, and stuck in a dead end job trying to support her father Bill (Bill Bailey), following the death of her mother in a car accident, but she soon finds a job in catering in the most exclusive chalets in the Alps. Now a chalet girl Kim has to get used to being surrounded by posh, rich people, serving them champagne, but she is also of course surrounded by skiing, she tries to do this herself without any real skill, but then she discovers snowboarding, and having had skateboarding experience, gains good skills, only distracted by flashes of bad past memories while doing so. She sees an opportunity to make the much needed money she and her father need, a big snowboarding end of season competition with a $25,000 prize, but she has to overcome her fears and eliminate these flashes, but also she is distracted by having a crush on her handsome and spoken for boss Jonny (Gossip Girl’s Ed Westwick). There are moments when Bill wonders if he is losing her daughter as she is almost too busy to talk to him that much, as she is training and getting close to Jonny a lot of the time, but in the end Kim does her father proud making a great impact at the competition, and of course winning the prize. Also starring St. Trinian’s star Tamsin Egerton as Georgie, Ken Duken as Mikki, Bill Nighy as Richard, John Tucker Must Die’s Sophia Bush as Chloe, Brooke Shields as Caroline, Nicholas Braun as Nigel, Georgia King as Jules, Miquita Oliver as T4 Presenter, Rick Edwards as T4 Presenter, Tom Goodman-Hill as Les, Angela Curran as Interviewer 1, Jessica Hynes as Interviewer 2 and The Inbetweeners’ Alex Macqueen as Macolm. Jones is sweet and ambitious as the young heroine, Egerton and her get good scenes together with their funny friendship, Westwick is the typical good looking guy easy to like, and there is laughable support from Nighy and Shields as the rich guests at the chalet, I agree this won’t tug at the heartstrings that much and is a tiny predictable in places, but the sporty material is cool, the love story is nice, and there are moments that will make you laugh enough, a likable romantic story. Worth watching!
