phat beach is a coming of age story that will enlighten 6 and 60 year old's alike. this was most defently the movie that defined the 90's Brian Hooks was undoubtaly snubbed by the oscar commitie for best supporting actor and coolieo was brilliant, we already knew he was the worlds greatist rapper but to be such a suppieror actor its almost unfair for one man to posses that much tallent. if you never watch phat beach then you would be doing yourself a grave injustice. the acting and writing of this film rival such classics as citizen cane and gremlins.

This film is a cult classic. The young cast makes for a fresh beach comedy. The white wanna be "Mikey Z" stands out and is very funny. This film delivers more than just the mail. It will make you laugh time and time again. The running feud between "Mikey Z" and the rest of the cast was hysterical.

Hysterical!!

I remember watching this movie recently. I had avoided watching this movie for a long time due to negative reviews but I finally caved in and saw it. As I was watching it, I found myself laughing as the movie went along. Phat Beach doesnt take itself serious so why should you?

Phat Beach is a coming of age story about a plump kid named Benny(Jermaine Hopkins) who is unsatisfied with his summer and reluctantly joins his boisterous friend Durrel on a trip to the beach. Benny borrows his father's car for the trip and the rest of the movie deals with their misadventures at the beach.

Jermaine Hopkins is immensely likable as Benny. He comes of misguided at times but has a heart. Bryan Hooks is hilarious as the mischievous Durell. Granted that there are time when I didnt laugh but I laughed at 85% of this movie. That's way more then I ever laughed at any of the so-called comedies that are out these days(including anything by Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg). I find these critics amusing. All this talk about quality films while they're religiously watching Quentin Tarantino's(overrated one-trick pony hack)crappy overrated films. Pulleeze! Oh yeah, the amateur critic reviewer thinks that Leonard Part 6 is a great movie. Nuff said.

At any rate Phat Beach is an underrated funny treat for people who dont pretend to be high-brow movie critics and can enjoy a movie for what it is. If you can do that you might like this one.

I think "Phat Beach" is low budget but very funny. My wife and I cry watching this movie. Can't wait to get it added to my collection on DVD.

This is not on my list of favorite movies, but it is at least enjoyable. And the actor who plays Benny has talent. Where is he now, when we're seeing the same faces over and over in movies?

For me, though, the main thing here was the girls. Or one girl in particular. Claudia Kaleem was mucho calliente as the girl of Benny's dreams, but she had nothing on sexy porn star Devin Deray, who made a cameo as a stripper with enormous breasts. If you like 'em big, keep your eyes open for this scene!

My family and I have been looking for this dvd for years. It is an all time favorite and very funny. I am very pleased with Amazon to have had this movie. In my opinion, Amazon is the best site to shop because I have always found 100% of everything that I want, and in mint condition. I am a frequent Amazon shopper and I have never had a problem with anything, nor have I ever waited long to receive my product. Thank you Amazon

AN OVERWEIGHT YOUNG GUY [JERMAINE HOPKINS] BORROWS HIS DAD'S MERCEDES BENZ AND HE HITS THE BEACH WITH HIS BEST FRIEND [BRIAN HOOKS]. THIS MOVIE WAS OK. I DON'T SEE TOO MUCH OF ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. IT WAS QUITE FUNNY AT TIMES. HAS PLENTY OF NUDITY AND PROFANITY, IF YOU'RE WONDERING. THIS IS A FUN MOVIE TO WATCH FOR THOSE WHO'RE NOT SO SERIOUS MINDED.

i own the soundtrack and i said what the hell the music is good maybe the movie is too. so i rented it and loved it. this is a great movie.

While "Phat Beach" has a good premise, it ultimatley goes nowhere. Throughout the film I kept waiting for it to get interesting soon, but it never did. None of the inexperienced actors have the charm ability to carry the movie by themselves. "Phat Beach" may have been more enjoyable if someone like Martin Lawrence or Chris Tucker starred in it instead of these inexperienced comedians. Plus, the script is extemely slow and unfunny. Some jokes had the potential to be funny, but weren't executed right, due to the director's lack of skill. I only laughed twice at the most during the whole film. By the way, the advertisements show Coolio on the cover as if he was a main character , but he actually is only in the film for about 2 minutes.
