thiago s @Thiagostone Sep 8 Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more william e 01/01/2023 Watch it for cute people. See more 02/01/2020 1984: Four college girlfriends take off for Ft. Lauderdale for spring break, in search of fun, sun, and boys (not necessarily in that order). This is a remake of the same named movie from 1960. The usual antics abound, no real surprises here. There is more language and slight nudity in this remake (though still tame by 1980's standards, in comparison). The film is good-looking and the music is fun, but the characters are pretty sophomoric and the story isn't strong. Time passer. Stars: Lisa Hartman, Lorna Luft, Wendy Schaal, Lynn-Holly Johnson, and Russell Todd. Look for Christopher McDonald as one of Todd's buddies. See more 02/01/2020 The original 1960 movie was creative, innovative, and fun. It also had much better music and a more realistic feel. This re-make was a real dud, not representative of college break, and falling far short of the original. The acting in the re-make was amateurish, particularly when compared to the MGM A-listers who starred in the original. See more 02/18/2017 One of the lesser 80's romps, that could've used better music. It is helped by mostly decent and charismatic actors. See more 12/15/2013 This is a film that I have very fond memories of because it showed in re-runs on our local Fox affiliate before they had enough original programming to fill up a day of shows, and this was on incessantly. Light '80s era fluff about young girls looking for love on spring break, but still has its cutesy buts and holds up for what it is. Rental? See more Read all reviews
