This teen comedy, full of suspense, romance, and action thrills, explores one playful aspect of the new millennium's younger generation. During a joyous Christmas vacation, Rendy and Jáchym head for the Bohemian Forest to learn to snowboard. Jáchym's cousin puts them up for free - and then puts them to work in return. On top of that, snowboarding isn't as easy as it looks... Then they meet three cute and friendly snowboarding girls. The boys think they've got it made but they're not the only ones interested. Their rivals are confident, good-looking guys who know how to snowboard. Nothing else to do but come up with a mildly underhanded plan... (jakelijan virallinen teksti)

After some ten years, I watched Snowboarders again and found out that without me knowing, a whole range of catchphrases got stuck in my head and I use them even today. A film like that surely deserves four stars at the minimum, right?

It's appropriately shallow and self-serving, but I'm amazed that I more or less enjoyed it. The script was well-suited for colloquial Czech and neologisms, Janák managed to glue the film together in a modern way, the acting of the main actors was quite relaxed, and they manage the fight with the silver screen matadors with a shield. Chyška's soundtrack is also decent quality, and of course the men will appreciate certain scenes in which they can admire the delicate aesthetics of the body of Barbora Seidlová and Martina Klírová... Does it seem adolescent to you? Well, that's why I gave it three stars.

To begin with great, hard-hitting and funny, but as of the second third the movie starts crumbling. A well-made scene jumps out at you here and there, but otherwise it works its way to the end and... And nothing doing. In any case, this picture is tolerable and to a certain extent a success, given the target group it is aimed at.

During the scrutiny through all the media, this relaxed comedy has lost a significant part of its charm, but Janák will never be robbed of hitting the bullseye at the right time. Unfortunately, the wave that followed the winter madness left a somewhat bitter taste and multiple audience damages behind, but the first bet on the buddy chemistry of Kotek and Mádl is luckily the only one that still works to this day.

I think Snowboarders is an excellent and funny comedy for teenagers. In Czechia it's perhaps only topped by The Can. Plus this is the film that "discovered" Jirka Mádl, which is a big plus for the Czech scene (except when he made the moronic Stahovák), and Vojta Kotek, who is also quite talented... Pavla Tomicová shines again and leaves the audience bursting with laughter!

Nowadays, it can be retrospectively assessed that Snowboarders started a wave of new films for teen audiences, which pretty much justifies their existence. As a historical impulse or element that had to arrive anyway. The youths born after November had long since stopped being curious about old Czech films and needed something purely topical that they could understand. They will understand especially all the modern details that normalization did not know, and the new faces and the new slang. This, of course, doesn't mean that Snowboarders is any good, but it has become the sovereign king in a hole in the market. The derivative works had to suffer for the next two or three years. And today? Today's teens don't know anything they haven’t seen streamed, so it's possible to bring them back just to that break and wait to see what the designated successor is.
