Snowballing is a sex comedy that desperately needs more sex and plenty more comedy. The film is so much of a nothing that it's only worthy of note for starring the electroshocked guy from Ghostbusters, Steven Tash. While it may start out with a party-time drumbeat rocking over the opening credits, the flick is dead in the water from the first gag on. What gags there are either fall flat on their face or go on for far too long, such as the five-minute scene of an idiot skiing down a hill backwards, which might sound funny in afterthought, but it's the equivalent of watching water heat up and boil. By the time the ludicrous end comes around, so much juice has been wrung out of the flick's life already that no one could really appreciate the high camp value of the finale. Director Charles E. Sellier Jr. would later come back the following year with the viciously delicious slasher pic Silent Night, Deadly Night, thereby redeeming himself for this bland slice of '80s teenage boredom.
