Unashamedly aiming at a teenage audience, the film's lack of pretension is oddly refreshing

Chalet Girl is what it says on the label - feel-good, unpretentious, snowbound fun.

Hot Dog... The Movie and its disreputable ski-comedy ilk might have been a low point in cinema history, but at least their unbridled crassness had energy; Chalet Girl embraces similar '80s tropes for a lethargic you-go-girl fairy tale.

Chalet Girl is a pedestrian affair that limply modernises the Cinderella fairytale for fun and profit.

A chirpy, tween-skewing, snowboarding-themed romantic comedy.

Jones may be a charismatic comedian, but no amount of her skilled mugging, Britpop tunes or help from supporting stars can transform this derivative ugly duckling into a comic Anglophile swan.

It's hard not to instantly forgive all the script's occasional faults and just be swept up in the feel-good nature of such a charming, easily-likable release.

The dialogue is more sensible than the plotting, allowing us to forgive the film's more serious trespasses.

There's just not enough to hold attention, eventually succumbing entirely to convention in a particularly insipid finale. Who knows, maybe even teenage girls will be rolling their eyes at the predictability of it all.

It's an unassuming film but a surprisingly beguiling one.

Pleasant if timid...

Undemanding, forgettable, formulaic teen rom-com.
