Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre
SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
SnoopyStyle Sam (Corey Feldman) and computer geek Dave (Corey Haim) get fired from a greasy fast food restaurant and evicted from their apartment. Sam's uncle Rex Carver (Geoffrey Lewis) is in danger of losing his island resort to the bank which is owned by his old acting rival Hemlock. He invites the guys to work as scuba instructors. They are magically transported to the wacky island and met by cheerful employee Sonja (Maureen Flannigan). Alex (Demetra Hampton) is the femme fatale.The director has filled this with wacky ideas and visuals. However, it comes off as bad cheese and never as fun camp. I root for people who try to do something original but this gets really annoying. The Coreys are at it again. Feldman is not as funny as he thinks he is. He's good as the snarky sidekick but he's not actually a comedian. Haim was a good actor but he's overplaying the computer geek. The whole movie reeks of a wacky school project. This is bad but not so bad that it's funny. This is much more sad than anything else.
TheRowdyMan I would have at least given this film a 4/10 for effort, but even at 90 minutes it really tries your patients. Rafal Zielinski (director of 'Fun (1994)' and the underrated 80's teen comedy 'Screwballs (1983)') attempts to capture the zany spirit of the 1960's 'Beach Party' movies but instead delivers a very flat movie. It's a 1990's MTV music video without the music. The Corey's and supporting cast (bar Robert Mandan and Geoffrey Lewis as the old movie star rivals), don't seem to know how to give the silly material the energy it needs to even make it passable. So the film feels like it's missing something from the beginning. After the 50 minute mark, the wacky antics that try to disguise who direction- less this film is, will wear you down.By the last 20 minutes (if you're still watching) even a cameo by Zelda Rubinstein won't be any relief. Dread Zeppelin play out the last few minutes (Before the credits even roll!!!), in a final pointless music video montage.Overall you would have to be an insane Corey's fanatic to sit through this. I don't give out 1/10 scores often but this film really did try my patients to breaking point.
hawka15 Absolute garbage. Simply the worst film I have ever seen. Warning: If you ever see a copy of this in any store, throw it on the ground and stomp all over it. With the shattered remains, throw it in a bonfire. I rented this movie with the lowest of expectations, hoping for a few laughs but it couldn't even offer me that. As the movie progresses you think that it may get a bit better but no, it just keeps dragging on, no humor, no plot, no nothing! I watched it until about the 45 minute mark when I knew that it was just a waste of my time. Nothing at all went right for this movie and sadly, I could cough up a better concept for a film. Worst film in existence. 0/10. No effort was put in this movie, therefore I give it no stars.
annie18pink I thought it was going to be reaally bad at first, but then it turned out to be so bad it was hilarious. I love this movie, and even my boyfriend-who first looked at me as though I was insane for putting it on-decided he loved it too. It's just, so outlandish, it's great. Plus who can help but love the Coreys? Yes, the plot is silly, and the sets weren't realistic--but that is the point. It's supposed to be an all around silly movie. It is a great choice for hanging out with some friends and just laughing. Especially if you like Corey and Corey! So, if you like to laugh at outrageous lines, costumes, sets, and overall acting...then you will like this movie.
