When Sundown Records are watching the YouTube video the gang made, the assistant of Eliot Webb (Sundown Records executive) reports that they had to "close down comments" on the video. This would not be possible as they did not post it on their own YouTube account and would not have access to Penny Coopers. See more »Soundtracks

This must have been one of the worst... "things" I have seen in a long time. Calling it a movie would even be offensive to a really bad movie.
First of all the weird voice over sounds like someone forced their mom to read lines they had come with 2 minutes earlier, which would actually in a way be a good thing because it would be the ONLY logical explanation to why she makes everything sound so painfully awkward. And I just cannot NOT address the fact that Molly Ringwald plays the mom, I mean I have seen desperation amongst once famous actors but she has just taken the crown. Not to mention that the script is so bad it makes you wanna rip your hair out. Overall SPF-18 looks like it could have easily been made by middle schoolers and the fact that anyone would call this piece of crap an actual movie hurts my intelligence.
Since this catastrophic piece of "film making" was Alex Israel's directorial debut I'm guessing we wont be seeing cinematic masterpieces from him any time soon. Goes to show that getting a bunch of fairly good looking yet extremely mediocre actors and placing them in a luxurious environment does not necessarily make a good movie, or you know, in this case a movie at all.
