kevin w The Lake Arrowhead Tourism Board must've ponied over at least some (if not all) of the chump change that got spent on this, little more than a blog about tourism, film about kids who throw a rock n' roll party in the mountains north of Los Angeles. Well, they say they're kids, but everyone looks late-20's at the very least. And what, besides tourism, could sell the resort? How about close-ups of babes in bikinis shaking dat thang? Good god, there's plenty of that! In fact, the only girl in the movie partially "respectable" (Raquel?!? Raquel Welch???) strips down by the final credits. The music is good stuff though, Gary Lewis and the Playboys proving more than just an act that daddy paid for. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member It's almost fun, but the storyline is thin on the ground, and the production values low. However there's a few top music acts from the time performing on film, which give it curiosity value at least. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member I have not long watched this with my youngest daughter (Who gave up after 20 ins) and I thought the story-line was OK for it's time. The fight scene on the beach was a tad choppy if you get my meaning. It reminded me of early fight scenes from the Original Star Trek Series. My daughter thought too much of the filming focused on women's butts (I tried to explain it was more chauvinistic back then). But the problem that we both agreed on was that no way did over 25 year old people pass for teenagers. On the whole it was a good film with good guys winning over bad guys and Raquel Welch being an early Sandy from Grease and deciding that the only way she could get the boy she wanted was to be more showy with her curves. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member this movie has one of the worst fight scenes i have ever seen .. i mean between the rolling on the ground and thousand judo chops it goes on forever Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Another predictable 60s teen movie about summer fun. It's not even funny, it's mostly boring, but there are a couple of good scenes, so it's okay. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Ehh... a whole lot of lameness with weird dancing. More boring than an exciting, hip anthropological piece.
