InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
tinmantn This was a movie that I first saw in my mid teens and has remained one of my favorites. It has everything you could expect from an 80's movies. Average script, average acting, great one liners, memorable scenes and lines................and LOTS of women. The soundtrack was awesome and it's one of those movies you can watch over and over and not get tired of it. Also, I am curious if anyone knows the name of the blonde girl that Stu pulls on stage during the wet he-shirt contest. She is not one of the main characters, but appears multiple times during the movie.....most of the time with Stu. I wrote this because I just watched this movie for the first time in years and realized that I never did find out that blonde girls name. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
BA_Harrison Having already made a mint from his seminal slasher Friday the 13th, director Sean S. Cunningham leaves Crystal Lake and heads for the sunnier climes of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to try his hand at that other money spinning genre of the '80s, the sexy teen comedy. Assembling a cast of nobodies, Cunningham tells the tale of two virginal college dorks, Nelson and Adam (David Knell and Perry Lang), who hope to 'get lucky' during spring break. Forced to share a room with cool guys O.T. and Stu (Steve Bassett and Paul Land), who have no problems with the ladies, the nerds learn how to party hard and eventually score with the opposite sex. Meanwhile, Nelson's douche-bag of a stepfather (Donald Symington) is on the warpath, fearing that his political career will be adversely affected by his stepson's carousing.Spring Break is—I am sure most will agree—not a great film, but it is mindlessly fun while it lasts. The guys' drunken antics are bound to put a smile on the face of anyone who has done dumb stuff while under the influence, as will the endless tirade of fit young bodies in skimpy swimming attire (both sexes are catered for, although the emphasis is undeniably on attractive, well-endowed women). The film's crazy antics include a drunken belly flop competition, a wet t-shirt contest, a wet he-shirt contest, and partying hard to an all-female rock group fronted by Penthouse Pet Corinne Alphen. The film's most memorable scene involves Nelson accompanying willing hottie Susie (Jayne Modean) to her hotel, but failing to remember her room number after he goes to get a couple of Cokes. Frustrating, to say the least, but at least he gets to pick up where he left off the next day.
preppy-3 Pointless film about two nerds (David Knell, Perry Lang) who go to Ft. Lauderdale FL to celebrate spring break. They end up rooming with two studs (Paul Land, Steve Bassett) and the movie chronicles their supposedly "hilarious" misadventures while there.OK--I don't know what I was expecting watching this but I didn't expect anything as bad as THIS! The "story" was stupid and predictable to an annoying extreme with clichéd characters and stupid situations. The acting was, at best, OK. Land and Bassett were nice eye candy but Knell and Lang weren't. The jokes in the film were abysmal. I think I smiled once. And, worst of all, there was next to NO T&A! I could care less about it but let's face it--the prime audience for this is horny teenage guys. They WANT gratuitous female nudity and this movie has very little. There is a somewhat nice soundtrack but that's not enough to sit through this. A 1 all the way.
Woodyanders Four male college students -- uptight Nelson (a solid and appealing performance by David Knell), his more laid-back pal Adam (affable Perry Lang), smooth dude Stu (hunky Paul Land), and rowdy O.T. (a marvelously raucous portrayal by Steve Bassett) -- go to Fort Lauderdale, Florida during spring break so they let it all hang out and party hearty. Director Sean S. Cunningham, working from a blithely inane and immaterial script by David Smilow, perfectly nails the pervasive sense of carefree joy and abandon that's the very easygoing essence of spring break: we've got a gnarly-rockin' soundtrack, a plethora of beautiful babes in skimpy bikinis, a bellyflop diving competition, both wet t-shirt and He-shirt contests (meaning there's yummy eye candy for guys and gals alike), mass consumption of beer, some romance, and a pleasing amount of delicious bare female skin all served up hot and lively in a gloriously vibrant and unapologetic celebration of pure mindless hedonism. Moreover, the main characters are quite likable and this film is less raunchy and more good-natured than most of its ilk. The cast have a field day with the cheerfully silly material: Knell, Lang, Land, and Bassett make for engaging leads, radiant and ravishing former "Penthouse" Pet of the Year Corinne Alphen positively lights up the screen as fiery rock singer Joan, Jayne Modean is a sweet treat as endearing cutie Susie, plus there are nifty contributions by Daniel Faraldo as hip motel clerk Eesh, Richard B. Schull as smarmy jerk Eddie, Jessica James as cool motel owner Geri, and Donald Symington as Nelson's stern, corrupt killjoy politician dad Ernest Dalby. The adorable Sheila Kennedy has a regrettably minor role as the spunky Carla, but at least she goes topless during the wet t-shirt contest. Steven Poster's bright cinematography offers lots of picturesque shots of the sunny seaside Florida locations. Harry Manfredini's funky-boppin' score hits the groovy spot. Sure, this film is complete dopey fluff, but it's got a snappy pace and giddy quality to it which in turn makes it a total delightfully brainless blast from the dynamic 80's past.
