Audience Member Lesley Gore sings "Sunshine, Lollipops, and Rainbows". Best part of the movie. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Remember what you're watching and who the target audience is before you become too critical. I was thirteen when I saw this movie in a local theatre. At the time, my brother and I thought it was hilarious and, having never watched adult films like "Some Like it Hot", were introduced to the idea of cross-dressing for the first time. This was funny, too. I did not review this film as an adult. I tried to review it as I would have when I was thirteen. That was the target audience of this film anyway. For what this is, it is an excellent display of teenage "beach party" movie, even though the setting is changed to winter and the sport to skiing. The highlight of the movie is Lesley Gore singing in the bus to her then-current top 10 hit "Sunshine, Lollipops, and Rainbows". Gore was the most popular singer in America for three years in the 60s and teenagers were so enamoured of her, especially as our parents spoke harshly against the "new music" of rock n roll and condemned Lesley Gore to hell for singing evil songs like "Sunshine". We were on her side. For this genre, and for the first generation of baby boomers who were young teenagers at the time, these kind of movies were nirvana. Summary: Lesley Gore Perks Up This Film Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member great for teen movie memorabilia of the mid 60s or for tweens. historically, highlight is the classy performances by a teenaged lesley gore, who brings maturity to the sorority house. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Not officially a Beach Party film, but it's pretty much a Beach Party film set in the snow. Frankie and Dobie Gillis (Dwayne Hickman) chase girls on the slopes. Yvonne "Batgirl" Craig is one of those girls. Annette has a cameo at the beginning of the film, but it's not a Frankie and Annette picture. It's enjoyable enough if you like this type of film, which I do, though I like the Beach Party films better. However, this film does feature James Brown and Lesley Gore, which is a plus. Marvin Hamlisch and Dick Miller also appear uncredited in the film. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A bit of a change of pace from the beach party movies ... this one plays like a 1980s sex comedy without the nudity (which I grant is a pretty major omission). It's harmless fun with a couple of great musical performances from Lesley Gore and James Brown. A large part of the plot is pretty shamelessly lifted from "Some Like It Hot", but at least they have the decency to openly acknowledge this. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member beach movvie and caast cast) move 2 the slopes Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
