you'll like this movie..
It's completely non-serious. It doesn't try to BE a beach movie of the 1960's...it tries to be a silly remake.
The costumes and sets are delightful - every known form of beachie cabana style is represented. Annette looks adorable in her cartoonish costumes, and is an inspiration to get out to the beach for all us "old folks."
The cuts with real surfing footage are enough to keep real surfers mesmerized, and the bathing suit styles are updated and sexy.
What more could you want on in the background on a Saturday afternoon?
