Pleasant if timid...
- Rachel Saltz, New York Times, October 13, 2011
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.
- Nick Schager, Village Voice, October 11, 2011
Undemanding, forgettable, formulaic teen rom-com.
- Jim Schembri, The Age (Australia), September 02, 2011
Chalet Girl is a pedestrian affair that limply modernises the Cinderella fairytale for fun and profit.
- Leigh Paatsch, Herald Sun (Australia), September 02, 2011
It's an unassuming film but a surprisingly beguiling one.
- Sandra Hall, Sydney Morning Herald, August 31, 2011
Sure, it's predictable, implausible and clearly skewed toward a young female demographic, but it's also enjoyable escapist fun.
- Belinda Hazleton, FILMINK (Australia), August 31, 2011
This is a very benign comedy that is elevated by the completely natural performance of Felicity Jones.
- Margaret Pomeranz, At the Movies (Australia), August 31, 2011
With its down to earth heroine ... the film underplays the triumph of the spirit theme, while delivering a satisfying, textured experience
- Andrew L. Urban, Urban Cinefile, August 27, 2011
The scenery is gorgeous and although the plot is predictable, it's a pleasant interlude with some laughs and surprising observations
- Louise Keller, Urban Cinefile, August 27, 2011
It's all very third division école de Richard Curtis.
- Philip French, Guardian [UK], March 22, 2011
This movie's resemblances to Pretty Woman are a bit worrying.
- Peter Bradshaw, Guardian [UK], March 18, 2011
Somehow, it ends up slaloming along just fine, and Tamsin Egerton continues to corner the market in Sloaney hauteur with extra hot sauce.
- Tim Robey, Daily Telegraph, March 18, 2011
Chalet Girl is possibly the first British rom com since Working Title's heyday that won't make you want to stick pins in your eyes, will actually make you laugh, and wasn't made by Working Title.
- Sophie Ivan, Film4, March 16, 2011
The dialogue is more sensible than the plotting, allowing us to forgive the film's more serious trespasses.
- Dave Calhoun, Time Out, March 16, 2011
A chirpy, tween-skewing, snowboarding-themed romantic comedy.
