Chalet Girl
British rom-com set in the Alps starring up-and-comer Felicity Jones (Cemetery Junction), Ed Westwick (Gossip Girl), Brooke Shields and Bill Nighy.
Tomboy and former champion skateboarder, Kim (Jones), is bored stiff with her dead end, burger-flipping job. But opportunity knocks in the form of a catering job in the one of the most exclusive chalets in the Alps. Baffled by this bizarre new world of the extremely posh, Kim soon discovers snowboarding and the chance to win some much-needed prize money at a competition. Distractions arise via Jonny (Westwick), her wealthy, handsome – though spoken for – boss.
