Review
Welcome back everyone, it's morning time (for me and a good deal of others), and another review is at hand, this time I'm reviewing...a beach party film. Ah yes, the beach, where most go to avoid the sweltering heat to encounter sweltering sand, possible sea sickness and a long drive to and back. But hey, I guess anything goes in the 1960s, so I won't put it past them. The acting is okay, nothing too special, though it is interesting to note that Bill Mumy (famous for appearing in the classic Twilight Zone episode "It's a Good Life") is in this, and he's not too bad. The scenery looks nice for 1963, and there is some enjoyability involved and some sort of effort was made into this film, which I guess is enough for most. It's a beach party sort of film that is either enjoyable or middle of the road sort of thing. It has its shares of laughs and oddities all in all.
Overall, I give it 6 out of 10 stars.
