Ok, so the plot and maybe acting, etc. is honestly about a 6-7, but for me I'd rate these beach movies with Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon a 10! It takes us to a simpler more carefree time. The puns and innuendos are hilarious..... "The finger" I laugh every time it's said/done.
The storyline is simple and typical. Teenagers at the beach, without parents, dancing, singing and plots to get the attention of the opposition sex or make each other jealous. Of course, there's no sex or nudity. Plus it has a happy ending.
I also found it enjoyable to watch some stars from the 60's who were basically unknown at the time have small roles in these movies. Such as Meredith MacCrae from Petticoat Junction fame. You can even catch one of the original Beach Boys making a cameo in a couple of these beach movies. Loved the surprise cameo of Vincent Price.
I suggest pop the popcorn, sit back and enjoy!
