Cleo Brown (Katie Burrell), Lucy Lin (Jadyn Wong), and Tina Gates (Chelsea Conwright) are best friends, roommates, and hard-partying ski bums. Cleo is a wannabe filmmaker. Lucy is an alcoholic ski expert. Tina is the life of the party. The girls get evicted and start living in their friend's van. There is a ski movie competition which could set them up with much needed rent money. Gabe Paul (Evan Jonigkeit) is a rival filmmaker. It's a mistake to have weak in the title. Criticisms write themselves. Lucy should be played by a real Olympian skier. In that way, they could make fun of her being not good enough as a skier. I like Jadyn in Scorpion, but this character should be more athletic or younger or both. Tina is a bit of a blank as both the character and the actress. At least, she's not a blonde bimbo although that could be funny. Cleo is the sad girl and that's not always funny. I do like the rom-com chemistry. The overplayed sexism theme would be more fitting a few decades ago. Now, it feels old and the characters say as much. The filmmaking is weak (there's the word) and I'm not sure if Katie Burrell has done anything else. It is surprising that there are some good actors here. Burrell must have connections.

So incredible to see a female focused ski movie that was hysterical. I laughed out loud and truly loved it. The ski scenes were awesome as was the storyline. So nice to see Kate Burrell debut as director, writer and star and I really hope there is much more to come from here. This is the type of movie you want to see, funny, feel good and showcasing bad ass women living life on their terms and going for it. Also showcasing some of my fav spots in Tahoe and the all time best Chammy. Made me want to get back out and ride Palisades Tahoe immediately. First movie back in the theaters and I will say, this is the one to see!

This movie turned out to be an absolute delight! From start to finish, it had me hooked with a storyline that not only held its ground but also had this magnetic pull that kept me engaged throughout. The characters, oh man, they were more than just faces on the screen; they grew on me, evolved, and added a whole layer of depth to the plot. What really surprised me was the film's ability to effortlessly blend humor and emotion. I found myself laughing out loud at one moment and on the verge of shedding a tear the next. It's not every day that a movie manages to strike such a perfect balance between the two, but this one nailed it. I'll be honest; it's a rare occasion for me to hit the cinema more than once for the same movie. But guess what? This one got me back in those comfy theater seats for a second round. That's how much it resonated with me. The charm of this film is something that doesn't fade away easily. Overall, it's not just a movie; it's an experience. A rollercoaster of emotions, laughter, and a few surprises that make it stand out. If you're looking for a film that leaves a lasting impression and invites you to come back for more, this one should definitely be on your watchlist.

Amazing. Not just a ski comedy, but also the best ski comedy I've seen. Funny, satirical, candid and just real. It's not often that I want to immediately go back to rewatch a film after just seeing it in theaters, but this was absolutely that sort of movie for me. Am I aimlessly vamping in an attempt to meet the character requirement (which is suddenly feeling draconian)? Yes. In a world where Aspen Extreme and Hot Dog!... The movie were amazing but were also basically t)4 same movie, it was refreshing to see a movie that hit those same fun, comedic, rage ski trip notes but also added in real substance. Ok I hit the mark... I genuinely loved the flick; go see it.

The quintessential ski movie has already been made a gazillion times and every iteration is basically the same. With Weak Layers, Katie Burrell manages to satirize the tired trope in a super-satisfying way and also do something totally fresh and new. The film is just the right amount of self-aware and infuses her bitingly funny, quirky sense of humor. It's smart without being pretentious, winks at those who have lived the ski town life without feeling like an inside joke, and like every piece of KB comedy, brings exactly enough sincerity to make it feel like you're sharing a chairlift with your bestie-but not in a sappy way. An awesome debut and I hope it's far from her last!
