Audience Member Make other surf movies look like Citizen Kane. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review ashley h Surf Party is a disappointing film. It is about a young girl travels to California with a couple of friends in order to visit her brother. Bobby Vinton and Patricia Morrow give terrible performances. The script is badly written. Maury Dexter did horrible job directing this movie. I was not impressed with this motion picture. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I was hoping this Beach Party knock-off would have a similar campy charm as the Frankie & Annette AIP pictures or that it would be a cool surf picture like "Ride the Wild Surf," but it was sadly neither. Shot in black & white, this film lacked those films' vibrant colorful charms, both visually and textually. Three gals from Arizona hit the beach at Malibu and pair off with different local surfers, including Bobby Vinton. There's teen strife and the group also runs afoul a decidedly anti-surfing police sergeant. I did like some of the music, most all of the period surfing footage, and the teenybopper drama is kind of charming in a Archie/Riverdale sort of way, but overall it wasn't nearly as fun as the corny but highly entertaining Frankie & Annette pictures (which are movies that I'd secretly like to pull a "Purple Rose of Cairo" and step into).

Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member another 'beach blanket bingo' knock-off Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie takes the sixties surfing "Beach" movie craze in a different direction, it's more realistic and less fun and silly songs. I enjoyed seeing a different side of the beach for a change. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
