Good 80's beach party movie, but a soft one

This movie is a surprisingly clean 80's beach party movie, geared more toward a female audience then anyone else. While the Bangles girl can't act very well (nor make up with it with nudity), the overall "funness" of the movie is catchy, but only if you love 80's romantic comadies in general. It's not overall funny, just sort of fun. The most hillarious character is the blonde's boyfriend, the most dead-on crazy impression of a yuppie i've ever seen. Be warned, fellas, there's just as much male shots as female shots in this movie, if not even more so. But you can't really expect much t and a with the start's mother directing. In a funny way, Reality Bites seems like a direct remake of this film.
