Patrice Laconte’s equally enjoyable follow up to Les Bronzés swaps the Ivory Coast for the French Alps and parodies France’s obsession with the ski holiday.

The rapid fire one-liners and comic set-ups are on well on a par with its blockbusting predecessor. Only a year after their African holiday, the original group are reunited in the picturesque Val d’Isere and despite numerous and humorous ski lessons, they find themselves lost on the slopes...

The popularity of this film is evident in that it still attracts as large an audience today as it did upon its initial release, with 10 million tuning in to watch the rerun on French television in 2008. An absolute must for those new to the antics of Les Bronzés or those simply wishing to revisit the hilarity of this comic phenomenon.
