Written and directed by James Pratt, Malibu Crush finds two young men on a journey to stop the wedding of an ex-girlfriend in Australia. A fun ride from start to finish, Malibu Crush is the perfect film for a slow Saturday evening or when you need to disengage from the world. The premise is exciting, the characters are lively and there is enough fun and adventure in the story to keep you hooked for the entire duration of the film.
Set in the same vibe as The Hangover or EuroTrip, I was surprised to be entertained this much by the film. It's straightforward, hilarious and a refreshing change of pace compared to the 'funny films' of this day and age. James Pratt and Billy White as the klutzy duo are great, and Bella Valentini as Emma is a breath of fresh air. Yuan Lin who plays Tiffany has some funny scenes with her father as well who has come to Los Angeles to visit his daughter.
The 78 minute film thoroughly entertains and by the end the chaos and drama surrounding the wedding reaches a towering crescendo in the third act. 10/10.
