I saw this movie at Outfest with a theater full of women, all of whom couldn't stop laughing. This movie has been made with no budget, but the producers made a conscious decision not to hide the lack of money and the result is that even the rubber shark is funny. Georgia Ragsdale has written some great one-liners for this. Beware, straight folks probably won't get a lot of the jokes. Even the cliche'd ending is okay because the trip there is so much fun.

You won't regret the 90 minutes spent with these three ladies.

The actresses in this one are gorgeous with lovely bodies, but the story was much too campy and not near enough erotic for me to give this one more than three stars. I liked the girl-girl potential, but the inclusion of the surfer-dude houseboy and the way-too-short love scenes between the women keeps this one from rating any higher. Also, nudity is basically non-existent, just a brief flash of one woman's breasts. I expected more. Campy can be fun, but this one's just campy-silly, not campy-erotic.

This movie won the hearts (and the laughs) of queer film festival
audiences across the country. And it should. It's so sharp that even with next to no budget, Film Fatale productions has made one of the campiest, most successful lesbian parody flicks to date. It's one of those "it's sooooo bad, it's soooooo good."

Four old(ish) sexy surfer pals reunite on the beaches of Hawaii to celebrate a 40th birthday and a divorce (how gay). The ladies in bikinis hit the beach, cocktails in hand, wit on call, revenge on the brain, and sex on the.....everything.

The one-liners are amazing; the spoof of a low-budget is even more amazing (like the rubber shark attack); and every scene is funny (not to mention pretty hot). A very clever, and sexy, parody.

I feel sorry for all the people who appeared in front of the camera; including the few members of the public spending a day at the beach and seen briefly in the background of a few shots, curious about what all the fuss happening 'over there' (i.e. filming) was about. If this production was a film school final project, it should state so in the description and then I would cut it some slack. However, if this was made by filmmakers who considered themselves professionals -- they should have taken the camcorder back to the rental shop and stayed home. Its neither a B movie, nor a camp one. Its just downright bad and embarrassing.

Movies like this always brings back memories, maybe it's just all the sun,surf and tanned bodies. Gidget movies will never compare. I loved the campness,the ridiculous back drops, acting, weak plot, but it's still enjoyable and definately for the older girls!! These types of movies you just can't rent from the local video shop - well not in Australia anyway. Enjoy it for what it is, clean fun!!

The bad shark, the dorky wigs, the movie is very Polyester. Great one lines. For a good laugh in the evening very worthwhile. Georgia Ragsdale is hilarious.
