4.0 out of 5 stars Midwest dreamer learns to surf,love and finds truth hurts!, December 29, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: California Dreaming [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Dennis Christoper travels west to find himself after his brother dies just after cutting his first jazz/blues record.He ends up in a surf 60's world that might as well be the moon...as he is really out of place and feels lost and totally alone. Enter a over-the-hill bar owner who still carries a torch for his ex-wife,he takes the boy in over the protests of his daughter.This begins a relearning period of mistakes and absolute blunders until he finally gets the girl and looses the father figure to an unexpected heart attack without being able to say he was sorry for doubting his success in the Olympics. The film is twisted with good and bad surfers,poor little rich girls and pott heads along with beach vollyball at it's roots. I recommend seeing this film as it is funny and I left alot out because there is so many goings-on as "California Dreaming" spins a comedy into several different stories...if you love to remember you'll want to buy and watch this movie of a Funny Beach "Peton Place" over and over !

Good movie about some kid who arrives from Chicago,trying to fit into one California Beach town,who tries to learn how to surf and get girls. a good coming of age movie, but not one of the best, really cool beat up pontiac in the movie, and a Custom Corvette Solid Axle.
