ZoeMovieReviews: Chalet Girl



Chalet Girl


Chalet Girl.jpg






This is a 2011 British romantic comedy film directed by Phil Traill. The film stars Felicity Jones, Bill Bailey, Ed Westwick, Sophia Bush, Brooke Shields and Bill Nighy.  It was filmed in Sankt Anton am Arlberg, Austria and in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany. Felicity Jones plays the leading role.






The Plot


Former skateboard champion Kim wants to make more money after her mother's tragic death.  Opportunity comes along when she flukes a winter-long catering job in one of the plushest ski chalets in the Alps. She joins the elite posh servicing company, which sends her off to Austria. Kim discovers snowboarding, and her natural talent soon sees her training for the end-of-season competition which she has a chance to win some major prize money.


Wow I really enjoyed this film. This is such a fun and easy going film to watch. I'm not too keen on romantic comedies as such because they are usually the same old thing, but this one surprised me a lot.


I liked how this doesn't focus so much on the love and romantic-ness, just more on Kim's life in trying to get a better job, which unfortunately I can relate to at this point of my life.


Anyways, the visuals of this film were absolutely great. The scenes when the characters in the film were in the ski chalets, the snowy mountains looked amazing. The whole scenery in the Alps was breathtakingly beautiful. This film is definitely great on Blu-ray.


Throughout the film there were a lot of great funny scenes and jokes. That I really liked and the fact it didn't try to hard and it wasn't joke, after joke - which is good. Also, like that there wasn't any cheesiness to it. This film is like a feel good film. It just made me smile and laugh a lot.


Felicity Jones acted excellent throughout the film as well as Ed Westwick (in Gossip Girl). She played great as the character Kim. The other supporting actors/actresses did play their role great as well.



I really liked majority of the soundtrack in this film. It wasn't all the same type of music genre - which is really good. The music was very upbeat, made me like the film even more.


I liked that end credits of the film where some bloopers from the film. That made me smile, this film just puts you in a good mood. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie a lot, possibly in one of my top 3 romantic comedies.




Overall, I really enjoyed it. It was a funny, sweet and great romantic film. The scenery was amazing and the actors/actresses played great. I would highly recommend this film - its a feel good movie and isn't over the top slushy and romantic like some of the romantic comedies.


Rating: 8/10

Glossy Box Reviews

Glossy Box April Review Hey guys, I was thinking of doing a few beauty reviews here and there on here. That's because I do like trying out new beauty products and helping others by recommending them any products they have interest in. So, today I am reviewing this month's GlossyBox. Here is the youtube video I made if you want to check that out as well: GlossyBox video When you open up the box it is packaged nice and looks really pretty. Its very pink themed and it comes with pink tissue paper and black tissue paper to hold the products in safely as well as looking nice. This is what the inside of the glossy box looks like. GlossyBox sends you 5 full size products and on the card in the box it tells you the price and the description of each item. The first item that is in the box is: Elgon Deliwash cleansing conditioner . This costs £14.50. This is a shampoo and conditioner all in one. This means you can use it multiple times, without using too many pr...

ZoeMovieReviews: Grave Encounters

Grave Encounters   This is a 2011 Canadian supernatural horror film, shot found footage style.   The Plot   For their ghost hunting reality show, a production crew locks themselves inside an abandoned mental hospital that's supposedly haunted - and it might prove to be all too true.   Wow this probably one of the more decent and better found footage films I have seen in a long time.   I liked the whole idea that it was part of their ghost hunting reality show – thought that was cool.   At the start when the host was interviewing people, the part when he ask a man if he has seen any ghosts or anything like that and just gives him 20 bucks to pretend to say that he has. That was so funny!   The acting was really good in this.   I find that this film has a lot more interesting and creepy stuff than any of those paranormal activity films. This film, isn’t scary...
