Uriah43 "Nelson" (David Knell) is a rich college kid whose dictatorial stepfather, "Ernest Dalby" (Donald Symington) just happens to be running for the U.S. Senate. But rather than staying around and work on his stepfather's campaign he decides to follow his best-friend's advice and go to Ft. Lauderdale for spring break. Unfortunately, when they get to their hotel they discover that there has been an error in with their reservation and find that two other young men named "Stu" (Paul Land) and "O.T." (Steve Bassett) have also been given the same hotel room. Fortunately, they soon begin to realize just how sheltered they have been which causes both Nelson and his best-friend "Adam" (Perry Lang) to not only decide to allow them to stay in their room but to also join them in their quest to seek out the opposite sex and party. What none of them realize is just how infuriated Nelson's stepfather has become when he finds out that Nelson is in Ft. Lauderdale having a good time. Because of that he has hires a shady real estate agent to find Nelson and also sends two of his own goons to bring him back. Now rather than reveal any more of this movie I will just say that this was one of many "beach movies" which sprang up in the late 70's and continued throughout the 80's. Typically, this films differ from those in the 60's due to their more explicit and crude nature. That's not a criticism necessarily but rather a simple observation. As far as this specific movie is concerned, it had its share of topless women but nothing really out of the ordinary for this particular sub-genre. The big problem with this movie was that it was just plain dull. The plot was too basic and the humor wasn't very good either. Likewise, other than Corinne Alphen (as "Joan") none of the actors really stood out one way or the other. That said, I have rated the movie accordingly. Below average.

anchovyd First off, this movie is a decent, watchable teen sex comedy from the early 80's. Sure the jokes are a little lame by today's standards and it looks dated but this movie brought back memories of mid-80's Spring Breaks. It is fairly similar to what I experienced Spring Breaking in Panama City, Florida. The wet T-shirt contests, hot legs and hot buns contests, the clubs with pools and the emcees narrating the contests. It's all in here. So if you're looking for a good time capsule of 80's spring break, this is it.There's a little T&A here, nothing serious. The strangest part about this movie are the four leads who end up having to share a hotel room, the two cool guys and the two nerds. Although they are all about scoring with the ladies, they do give off a very homo/fem vibe. Almost like watching the chicks from Sex and the City at spring break. For example, right after they all meet the cool Italian guy strips down to a speedo with his pubes going all over. Then the next morning they are all crammed in the little bathroom, one showering, one brushing teeth, one shaving and one dropping a deuce on the toilet. Then when they go out they all stay together drinking and hugging, go to the bathroom together, etc. They act more like girls going out rather than guys. Maybe the movie was written by a woman.The main focus of the movie is the nerdiest one trying to lose his virginity to a pretty nerd girl who has a hot body and loves video games. The movie is nice in that the cool guys give tips to the nerds and try to help them get laid. This is a feel good movie for sure.Bottom line: A step back in time to what it was really like in Florida at Spring Break in the early 80's. Mildly amusing and entertaining. Highly Watchable when nothing else good is on.

WolfgangR5150 I am jazzed this got an official release on DVD, I can finally retire my VHS ripped DVD. I was like most disappointed at the lack of special features. But you can get a commentary form David Knells website, and it is well worth money I mean 4 bucks is nothing and makes watching the movie even more funny. I was sad to learn tonight about Paul Land , real name Paul Callandrillo had passed away in 2007. I have watched this movie so many times I am ashamed to admit how many. Out of all of the oddball beach movies this is hands down the best one ever made. Goods tunes, hilarious characters and well of course the beautiful girls. And how can you forget Nelsons dad getting arrested and just shouting sh#t. People pick this one up, go to Davids website and buy the commentary.Mike

Woodyanders Four male college students -- uptight Nelson (a solid and appealing performance by David Knell), his more laid-back pal Adam (affable Perry Lang), smooth dude Stu (hunky Paul Land), and rowdy O.T. (a marvelously raucous portrayal by Steve Bassett) -- go to Fort Lauderdale, Florida during spring break so they let it all hang out and party hearty. Director Sean S. Cunningham, working from a blithely inane and immaterial script by David Smilow, perfectly nails the pervasive sense of carefree joy and abandon that's the very easygoing essence of spring break: we've got a gnarly-rockin' soundtrack, a plethora of beautiful babes in skimpy bikinis, a bellyflop diving competition, both wet t-shirt and He-shirt contests (meaning there's yummy eye candy for guys and gals alike), mass consumption of beer, some romance, and a pleasing amount of delicious bare female skin all served up hot and lively in a gloriously vibrant and unapologetic celebration of pure mindless hedonism. Moreover, the main characters are quite likable and this film is less raunchy and more good-natured than most of its ilk. The cast have a field day with the cheerfully silly material: Knell, Lang, Land, and Bassett make for engaging leads, radiant and ravishing former "Penthouse" Pet of the Year Corinne Alphen positively lights up the screen as fiery rock singer Joan, Jayne Modean is a sweet treat as endearing cutie Susie, plus there are nifty contributions by Daniel Faraldo as hip motel clerk Eesh, Richard B. Schull as smarmy jerk Eddie, Jessica James as cool motel owner Geri, and Donald Symington as Nelson's stern, corrupt killjoy politician dad Ernest Dalby. The adorable Sheila Kennedy has a regrettably minor role as the spunky Carla, but at least she goes topless during the wet t-shirt contest. Steven Poster's bright cinematography offers lots of picturesque shots of the sunny seaside Florida locations. Harry Manfredini's funky-boppin' score hits the groovy spot. Sure, this film is complete dopey fluff, but it's got a snappy pace and giddy quality to it which in turn makes it a total delightfully brainless blast from the dynamic 80's past.
