6/10
minor Disney film
4 September 2019
Johnny Baxter (Dean Jones) is shocked to inherit a hotel in Colorado from a distant relative. He promptly quits his dead end corporate job and drags his family into the unknown. The place turns out to be a lot less than advertised. He decides to turn the hotel into a ski resort but he needs a loan.

This is a Disney family comedy. It has some screwball physical comedy. It has Dean Jones. It's missing something. Ultimately, I've decided that they need better kids. They need cute kids who are charismatic and funny. The Baxters have a teen daughter beauty and a bratty younger brother. Neither are that compelling and are mostly relegated to secondary action. There is a fun local teen which helps a lot. Harry Morgan is a bit wasted. Overall, this is a minor comedy and a lesser remembered Disney family film of that era.
