The Beach Girls Trailers

School is out, and three girls head to the beach for vacation. Two of the girls are world-wise party-goers who attempt to loosen up their naive, virginal friend, whose uncle has allowed the girls to stay at his beach house. When the near-sighted, drug smuggling Captain Bly dumps his cargo of marijuana, the bales wash up on shore. The two party girls, Ginger and Ducky, quickly stuff the dope into giant bags and spirit it back to the beach house, where it fuels a party with assorted misfits, delivery persons, and passersby.

With school out for the summer, "Sarah" (Debra Blee) has invited a couple of her college friends by the names of "Ginger" (Val Kline) and "Ducky" (Jeana Tomasino) to spend some time with her at the spacious beach house of her uncle named "Carl Purdue" (Adam Roarke). Although Sarah prefers to spend her time with just Ginger and Ducky, both of her friends have other ideas and soon young men and women from all over appear and the party soon gets out of hand. Along with that a notorious drug runner named "Captain Jack" (Paul Richards) just happens to be operating in the area and this has drawn the attention of the Coast Guard led by the strict officer named "Captain Blye" (Herbie Braha). Now rather than reveal any more of this movie I will just say that it deviated quite sharply from the "beach movies" of the past. Instead of the conventional humor and the innocent, romantic drama between scantily clad men and women on a beach which was so prevalent in the films of the 60's, this particular movie attempts to essentially combine its humor with both nudity and drug use. Strangely enough, it wasn't the nudity which caused this film to suffer as much as it was comedy aspect which tended to fall really flat. Throw in a lot of bad acting on the part of just about everyone concerned and there really isn't much in this film to recommend to anyone. For what it's worth though, of the young ladies present I thought both Val Kline and Tessa Richarde (as "Doreen") were easily the most attractive of the bunch and certainly helped brighten the scenery to some extent. Unfortunately, their presence wasn't enough for me to rate this film any higher than I have. Slightly below average.

THE BEACH GIRLS is a forgotten slice of exploitation from Crown International Pictures, masquerading as a comedy. The title tells you exactly what to expect: a slimly-plotted yarn involving a number of bikini-clad beach girls who decide to hold a massive party at their beach house. When a huge haul of marijuana washes up on the beach, the scene is set for a whole lot of fun...This is an amiable and forgotten '80s movie that's very much a product of its era. The acting is generally hopeless and the direction worse, and the sole point of the exercise seems to be to show as many naked breasts as possible; you'll soon lose count of the number of times the director shows a woman unstringing her bikini before whipping it off and then jumping into the sea or swimming pool.The supporting characters are a mildly amusing bunch of stiff-lipped coastguards, Peeping Tom gardeners, a random kung fu-fighting chauffeur, and various beefcake for the ladies. Chief actress Debra Blee is actually very pretty and sweet although she undergoes one of those unbelievable transformations from nerd to babe just by losing her sweater, her hair pins, and those massive glasses.

The only reasons I am putting anything on here about this movie are: First of all, to correct the previous reviewer, Debra Blee does bare her ample breasts, although it is for just a second before her love interest covers them and secondly, just to let you know that Jeana Tomasina was my favorite playmate of all time and she plays her role just as she should.... a hottie that likes to party. The story is pretty standard of this genre...hot girls...great house on the beach... let's have a party, which of course, gets a little bit wild. But, hey, what else would be expected? The topless scene on the boat with Jeana reveals a perfect pair of beauties and makes me a jealous man.

I bought this movie in Poundland at the weekend, they sell DVDs with two films on for £1 so I thought I might as well. It came on a disc with another film called Cavegirl.I'd say it was certainly worth 50p, although I doubt I'll watch it again. There were two bits that had me cracking up, like when the girl asks the pizza guy if he's got a salami in his pocket or he's just pleased to see her, and he pulls out a salami.Or the other bit where the geek gets a hot marshmallow chucked in his face, and he looks over and shouts 'food fight!', then the camera shows he's looking at a giant ketchup bottle fighting a hamburger. What?! And even weirder is a bit where a bloke gets given a bag of weed, and the weed SPEAKS and tells him it's actually just parsley a couple of times. So the bloke agrees, and then the bag of weed says 'marijuanna'. It's even more surreal because the rest of the film isn't surreal at all! And how come the uncle sleeps with those two schoolkids but doesn't get in trouble with the police, or even worry about it? Oh my god I've just realised, everybody gets naked in this film, but THEY'RE ALL SUPPOSED TO BE SCHOOLKIDS! Yuck! And that shy girl, the main one (can't remember the character's name), when she's talking to the main bloke she says "I don't know why they'd want to come to my house for the summer, they could go anywhere they want to". Hmmm, maybe they want to go there since it's by the beach, absolutely huge, has a swimming pool, in fact it's pretty much the coolest place in the world, apart from the weirdo gardener.And a bit of info IMDb doesn't have, the film's rated 18 in England (just in case you were wondering).
