Back To The Beach
Surf's Up!
Veteran beach-movie favorites Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello return to the screen in this hip, hilarious update of their surf-and-sand adventures. Break Dancing may have replaced The Twist in the intervening years, but Frankie and Annette still know how to have a good time-as well as teach their own '80s new-wave children a thing or two in the process. A host of familiar faces-Bob Denver, Tony Dow, Jerry Mathers, Don Adams, Edd "Kookie" Byrnes, Pee-Wee Herman and more-join the fun in the California sun!

I remember when this movie came out, I was all excited to see it because it had Gilligan and the Skipper in it. I'm not old enough to remember Frankie and Annette, except in re-runs but I have seen my fair share of the kind of beach movies this one looks back on and teases. I kind of lost track of the actual plot, such as it was, but really enjoyed the cameos from Bob Denver, Alan Hale, Don Adams and Pee Wee Herman. Had I actually seen it in 1987, I think I would have been disappointed, but now I was able to appreciate it. Certainly no masterpiece, but the actors (especially Frankie Avalon) really give it a fun gusto.
