Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Memorable, crazy movie
Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
Lame comedy notable for its casting but not much else. Johnny Depp and Rob Morrow (in his film debut) star as two teens staying at a Miami resort for the weekend. They're looking to get laid but run afoul of jewel thief Hector Elizondo (wearing a wig that makes him look like Billy Crystal).It's an '80s sex comedy so you pretty much know what to expect here. There's the horny kid trying to sneak a peak wherever he can, the uptight guy informing women in bikinis of the hotel's strict dress code, the one "nice" girl among all the floozies, and many other cheesy elements we've all seen before. There's also plenty of female flesh on display. The highlights of the movie are Hilary Shepard's nude scene and Leslie Easterbrook (of Police Academy fame) wearing a see-thru negligee. Unfortunately there isn't much else to recommend about this one. I didn't laugh once the whole time I was watching it. The two stars give no hint of their future successes here. Morrow is annoying and Depp is surprisingly charmless and bland. Elizondo comes off best in the comedy department. See it for the babes but nothing else.
All the slapstick had me rolling as did the deadpan acting. Pure cheese with a lot of eye candy for guys and gals (including Depp's naked rear... which did nothing for me, but ladies probably will enjoy). Depp had more of a supporting role in this. The scenarios were funny and moved well from one to the next, but they probably only did one take for everything because each scene was contrived and poor in execution. The dialog is horrendously bad, poorly written. This movie literally had me laughing much more often than most recent films. The wannabe Sean Penn was annoying as was the grandmother. To me, the Barber and Reeves are the funniest characters; their brawl in the elevator was so absurd... God, I think this needs to be out there, this movie should be watched, which is why I am wasting these two last lines simply to comprise the required ten. Hope it helps. If not, screw you. Haha.
...this is still somewhat more watchable than the reems of nearly cookie-cutter sex quasi-comedies of the era.Young,horny dudes JAck(JOhn Depp,pre-"21 Jump Street" and probably unrecognizable to most film-goers) and Ben(Rob Morrow,who,years before "Northern Exposure" or "Num3ers" and probably wondering if he ever was THAT young) are on the prowl. They use their cabana boy jobs at a posh private resort(hence the title)to find loose ,randy women who want to get it on with them. Oh,they'll find love(it's an 80's film,keep in mind),but not before they bump into hi-jinx involving,among others,a sweet but ditsy Southern Belle(Leslie Easterbook,awash in all of her jiggly,juggly sexiness,minus the button-down contrast of the Police Academy films)and her hot-headed jewel thief husband(Hector Elizondo,cashing the paycheck),a doddering guest(Dody Goodman),a new-age cultish hottie in disguise(Hilary Shapiro)and the resort boss. Director George Bowers was able to cull a pretty decent slapstick energy out of the film. The plot of the film seems extracted from something out of a Marx Brothers or THree Stooges feature(or short),which is actually a nice(And not as easy to execute as one might think)mix to the morally loose '80s stylizing of '70s sex comedy mores. It's definitely the curiosity,if for nothing else,to catch a young,unaffected up-and-coming actor or two cut their teeth on comedy.
So you see, there's this movie. And if you watch it, you'll absolutely give up any and all hope for the future of humanity. The whole thing is a moronic titfest with very little tits and even littler of a fest. The attempts at romance and a plot are subpar, and the acting leaves so much to be desired that the phrase "much to be desired" doesn't do it justice.The plot is abysmal, centering around two young men and wackiness at a resort over the weekend. The Maestro wants to steal a diamond, and he is just a very bad thief. Add in a bunch of two dimensional women, and you have a romp that borrows heavily from _Catalina Caper_ and _Porky's_.If you like Johnny Depp or that guy from "Northern Exposure," don't see this movie. If you like Hector Elizondo, stay as far away from this movie as possible. If you like Andrew Dice Clay... then this movie can't really be too much worse for you.I really have to emphasize this just one more time, so please please trust me: DON'T.
