CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!
TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Prismark10 Private Resort is a rather woeful 1980s teenage sex comedy.The main interest is that it features Johnny Depp, Andrew Dice Clay and Rob Morrow in early roles.Depp and Morrow play two horny teenagers in a Miami resort hotel surrounded by hot women in bikinis and trying to get some action which results in misunderstandings especially as the bumbling hotel detective is on their trail.A bewigged Hector Elizondo plays a jewel thief who is after a valuable diamond necklace and the fake hairdresser who ruined his hair. Leslie Easterbrook plays his MILF wife.It is all rather crude, farcical and hapless. The film has a thin plot and is not really funny but contains enough T&A to keep horny teenagers of the time happy. It is nowhere near the level of the first Police Academy film.
Wizard-8 Reports I've come across indicate that the major players of "Private Resort" are today very embarrassed by the movie - Hector Elizondo, for one, once called it the very worst movie of his career. It doesn't take long upon watching the movie to figure out why Elizondo, Johnny Depp, and Rob Morrow have disowned the results. True, the movie has a lot of nudity (though strangely, no on screen sex), but the stuff around that material is all but unwatchable. It isn't just that the comedy is executed in an especially bad manner, but also how painfully predictable it is; you'll be able to guess most of the gags before they unfold in front of you. There are also some touches here and there that many would consider to be racist or homophobic. Apparently Tri-Star Pictures knew they had a turkey on their hands, since the movie was obviously chopped up in the editing room (the short running time is one clue of this), but also by barely releasing the end product to theaters. Even if for some reason you have a hankering for an 80s youth sex comedy, avoid it, even as a last resort.
witster18 Rob Morrow and Johnny Depp star in this harmless, testosterone filled sex-romp.They're spending a short week at a luxurious beach resort full of women in TINY two-piece bikini's.The films strength is it's short running time and fast-paced physical comedy.Don't come into this one expecting much in terms of plot, but the cast here does a much better job than you'll usually find within this genre.The films first half is thoroughly enjoyable, but the second half is a bit silly.Expect the normal story-lines here. Guys seeking perfect "10" sluts only to settle for solid 8's with big hearts. Throw in a huge dose of misunderstanding and you have yourself the definition of a sex-romp.The film gets a nice start out of the gate. The first 45minutes is pretty entertaining stuff because of the acting from the two male leads.Those who are easily offended, will be. Those who aren't easily offended will probably enjoy this one for what it is.58/100 You Might Like this if you liked:Fraternity Vacation(about even), Spring Break(not as good as PR), Hardbodies(not as good), or Loosin' it(about even or slightly worse).One of the best "bad" movies ever made. Definitely some funny bits in here, but the focus is obviously on the bare naked ladies. The current 4.9 is a bit harsh imo. Nostalgic. Funny enough for a first time look.
DearJohnny One of a plethora of PORKYS-inspired teen-sex comedies, memorable mainly for starring future TV star Rob Morrow ('Northern Exposure') and future mega-star Johnny Depp ('Pirates of The Caribberan', among others). It's essentially the same set-up as any other movie of this type: Two callow youths, one a self-professed Lothario (Depp), the other naive but desperate to lose his virginity (Morrow), find themselves in an exotic location, in this case a beach-front hotel, and become involved in wacky hijinks while in pursuit of sex. Depp is understandably not fond of this thing, done very early in his career to pay the rent. Both he and Morrow have fairly lengthy rear-nude scenes, mostly running around trying to hide when their attempts at seduction go disastrously wrong. There's also a subplot about a violent thug plotting to romance a scatter-brained dowager to obtain a valuable jewel, as well as an exasperated hotel manager determined to catch our heroes in the midst of inappropriate behavior. Surprisingly, it's only half as awful as one would expect, thanks to some lively comedy and a fairly talented cast. To put it in perspective, it's better than, for instance, PORKYS 3, but not quite as good as an average 'Three's Company' episode.
