Very different movie, unfortunately it's a retread and the French already did it better.
The original idea is pretty good, and it kind of turned into a meme when people thought it was true.
Family goes to a ski lodge for vacation, dad sees a [planned] avalanche coming towards the chalet, panics, completely forgets about his family sitting on the deck at a table with him and beats feet for safety, ostensibly leaving them to die. Now he has to endure the rest of the vacation where everyone, including said family, saw his cowardly act of self perservation.
Original movie - supposedly a sharp dark comedy
