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.
Red-Barracuda What has the world been waiting for? I'm not sure but is it possibly a teen comedy starring Corey Haim and Corey Feldman about a holiday resort run by an ex-actor who used to star in old pirate movies? Well, no.The one good thing about this film is that it proves that absolutely anyone can write the script for a movie. So if you have dreams of writing screenplays for films despite not possessing an ounce of originality, inspiration, talent, humour, intelligence or the ability to write sentences on a page in the format top-to-bottom left-to-right, then this movie could well be an inspiration to you. The screenwriters here have cleverly managed to get away with writing a comedy without actually having to go to the trouble of coming up with any funny bits. It's a quite brilliant and time-saving idea. They were probably, as a result, able to knock off the script for this in perhaps an afternoon. So for anybody reading this that thinks that they are completely talentless don't worry you can follow the lead that these subversive screenwriters have taken, i.e. don't actually bother to write a script at all, but instead ensure that you have a couple of washed-up actors on board who share the same first name; by taking this route you will ensure that you have an audience irrespective of the drivel you have produced.Corey Haim and Corey Feldman both contribute heroically appalling performances. It really is quite difficult deciding who is the most irritating. So in the spirit of fairness, I shall call it a draw. No actually it's Corey Feldman.There's no need in giving out the synopsis for this movie. If you haven't seen this already then trust me, it's not worth knowing up-front; if you have seen it, then I'm sure you'll agree that it's not worth being reminded of it and in any case I wouldn't want to bring back any painful repressed memories.Honestly, you could do worse than watch this movie but bear in mind that I am including activities such as smashing your face hard with a claw hammer or setting fire to your trousers.
Tracy_Terry_Moore Corey Feldman stars as a young entrepreneur with his virtual reality-obsessed sidekick (Corey Haim) as they try to help their uncle (Geoffrey Lewis) save his resort from the hostile takeover attempt of a deranged corporate raider (Robert Mandan) bent on procuring ownership of the island for himself.Along the way, the boys don't see any harm in having a little fun with a pretty scuba diving instructor/exotic dancer (Maureen Flanagan) if they can all stay clear of the carnivorous iguanas, pink seahorses, and giant beach balls. Maple Pictures' wild National Lampoon summer comedy is OK if you like the two Coreys and have lots of hard liquor on hand.
Prettz ...is the fact that I can't watch this movie with anyone else. Yes it's bad, but it's much better than any of the recent made for TV National Lampoon movies. Like the previous reviewer, I have no idea why I like this movie either. This is just one of those movies where you turn your brain off and enjoy. But even with your brain turned off you still know what a horrible movie it is, and that's probably why I like it so much. This movie rightfully takes its place on my movie shelf beside Sgt. Kabukiman and the Toxic Avenger. This review was written on recycled paper.
