Featured review
As near as I can tell, this movie is about the four least funny dumbasses in the world going to Fort Lauderdale. I guess it's really not fair to say that they aren't funny, because there are no actual "jokes" per se in the film. Things happen, and the actors sort of react to everything as if they are being funny, but they're not. One guy keeps yelling, "Look at all these people! They're all having fun!" Obviously, he wasn't looking at the audience.
I think Perry Lang here is still playing Hewitt from his quintessential seventies retards-are-people-too movie, "Hewitt's Just Different." When he is trying to convey that his character is having a good time, he dumps a cup of beer over his head and goes "AAAAAAAAAAAH!"
There's lots of strangely homosexual undertones in this, too. You could make a good drinking game to it---each player picks a main character and has to drink every time that character does something latent, like when Paul (The Idolmaker) Land strips down to his jock in a hotel room before two guys he just met about ten seconds earlier.
This movie is so wrong-headed it's hard to pin down every moronic moment, but the nightclub musical numbers stand out as particularly inept. Harry Manfredini must have run through a lot of double-A batteries for his Casio scoring this flick. During these scenes everyone is clapping to their own imaginary beat, which never bears even a remote resemblance to the actual one. I haven't seen this much hopelessly caucasian clapping since the last time I watched "Wild Horse Saloon."
It's hard to believe that at one time this stuff was released in theaters, and that people stood in a line to see it. It's even harder to believe there are still people out there who love this crap (see previous user comments) without any irony whatsoever. I mean, I plan on taping it the next time it's on, but mostly because I find it endlessly entertaining to watch movies that look like they were made by people who had never seen a movie before.
The best thing I could possibly say about this was that the lady who owned the hotel played Eddie's mom in "Diner." And I don't even know why that's a good thing. Also, if you watch it on Comedy Central, listen for when they accidentally left in an F-word when they were editing the soundtrack. Our fun-loving protagonists are in a bar and a male wet t-shirt contest is announced (oh, one of THOSE bars) and one guy asks, "What do we have to do?" His buddy shouts back, very clearly, "Who the f___ cares?" I couldn't have put it better myself.
