      trysometruth This movie not only features bikinis galore, but a soundtrack that could only have been done in the glorius 80's. If anyone ever needed to be clear that the eighties in pop media was just FUN FUN FUN, this movie, which utterly flew under the radar to the point of invisibility is one of the best ways to prove it. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Even my bad movie resolve was tested by this movie, which tells the story of Alan (Michael David Wright) and Todd (Bruce Greenwood, who has had quite a film career after this), two charged up fellows who inherit the bikini shop owned by their aunt who has drunkenly jet skiied her way into the world beyond. Alan has a mean fiancee (Debra Blee, who is in Savage Streets and Hamburger: The Motion Picture, two movies you should watch instead of this), the girls they hire to work at the shop are really cool, rich people and cops get in the way of the madcap shenanigans and there's no nudity, but this is called The Malibu Bikini Shop, so that should give you some idea that there is not going to be a lot of bare flesh. I know this may be someone's favorite movie, but as you can tell, it is not mine. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member They just don't make movies like this classic anymore. Another movie critics won't understand the originality true uplifting atmosphere this movie creates. A true work of art. Top 100 movie of all-time. 5/5 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Great music & a fun movie Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member The only reason to watch this film, is to see Bruce Greenwood as a party animal, but that gets old pretty quickly. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member This one is also known as "The Bikini Shop" A slightly interesting 1980s comedy about two men who inherit a bikini shop. The whole movie would have worked better as sofcore porn. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
