One of my all time favorites.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Well, as so many have said, this is a fun movie, with (at least in the R-rated version) a lot of gratuitous nudity from a wide range of babes, somehow excepting our two leading ladies, ably portrayed by the scrumptious Felicity Waterman and the insanely adorable Ami Dolenz.The other reviewers have pretty well told the story of this movie as far as its strengths (lots of pretty skin and faces, cute love story, nothing too heavy) and weaknesses (mediocre acting by most of the cast, predictable plot). I just wanted to be nerdy and point out one thing which dropped my rating down for this still-enjoyable romp: Jeannie's disdain for Earth, at the start of the film, vanishes without a trace the instant she appears here, never to be heard from again. That's just horrible writing. I know, it's just a B-movie with skin and goofy laughs, but come on. It wouldn't have taken even 10 minutes of thought to put in at least a token follow-on to that bewilderingly abandoned plot point. She could have shown a transition from cynic to some sort of warmth and interest, over the course of the movie.Oh well. Ami really is about as adorable a genie as anyone could want, so it's hard to care too much about that. If she ever popped out of a bottle for me, I'd be asking her what *she* wanted!!One last thing: what was up with Dean Cameron's hair? Points for originality, I guess, but... wow. LOL!Did I mention Ami is adorable?
Not too bad of a film. The premise of a genie that grants you unlimited wishes is a tough topic, considering there are things like paradoxes and such, but if you over look that, and just accept the film as a fun "beach" movie, you won't be disappointed. The Genie is a very likable character, and casted very well. The lead, Dean Cameron, is a complete loser, but his innocence is what makes him so likable. It's a cute love story, with unexpected amounts of nudity, and a happy ending... what more would you want from a film starring Dean Cameron?
After seeing this movie, I'm surprised we haven't seen more of Ami Dolenz. In spite of blonde hair and a bodacious figure, she shows herself a skilled actress here, making you believe in the fable of a genie who **spoiler** falls in love with her master, against all the genie rules.Briefly, the storyline is that Jeannie is given her last chance by the head genie, because she repeatedly messes up her assignments. She is sent to Earth to improve life for a poor schnook named Scotty, who is down to sleeping on a park bench, while his two buddies are renting a garage as living quarters. Naturally, Scotty is totally smitten with an unattainable woman, and uses his wishes to impress her, and woo her.After a while, just in the nick of time (what else?) he realizes that the girl he really wants is...Heck, watch the movie with a date, after a candlelight dinner. If this can't get you in a romantic mood, it's time to take up bingo.
Miracle Beach is probably my favorite B movie of all time. Charming, romantic and silly all at the same time. Terrific performance by Ami Dolenz, who really carries this movie. Basketball fans should get a kick out of the rather creative cameo by former Clippers guard Gary Grant.
