4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining, hilarious & more!, May 7 2004

By

randomartco "period film aficionado" (Greater Washington D.C. area) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Back to the Beach (DVD)

I used to watch this movie on tv quite a bit, and it always cracked me up! I've never been a huge Frankie and Annette fan (they were before my time), but in this movie I really liked them as the parents! It begins when Frankie and Annette go to visit their daughter (who's boyfriend is living with her), taking along their son (who is more or less, rebelling and having an identity crisis). Songs are interspersed through the film, which are funny and entertaining; there is a cameo by Pee Wee Herman, and much more!

Pajama parties, surfing, motorcycles, beach bon-fires, etc., this film is full of moments of randomness and light-hearted fun, with couples "fighting" and making up all over the place!

For those of you worried about content: this film is somewhat family-friendly. There isn't much language in this film, the content is more some drinking in a bar/lounge, a married woman flirting, a woman flirting with a married man, a girl with a live-in boyfriend, hangovers, etc. In typical "Disney" style, they wrap up all the loose ends and end the film on a syrupy, happy note!

If you like the beach, and aren't afraid of a little singing, I'd pick this up to watch one day, if just for a temporary diversion from the same old movies that are always on...

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Movie, Jun 6 2007

By

(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Back to the Beach (DVD)

This was a great parody of the beach movies and Frankie Avalon's version of

California Sun with Dick Dale was worth the movie. For the price of the

DVD a person can't lose. All the guest visits of the old TV stars makes this

a movie to watch.
