Best movie ever!

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Five high school grads on the cusp of adulthood have their summer of discovery while surfing and house-sitting at Keanu Reeves' elegant beach house. Penny seeks to finally lose her virginity with Johnny. Johnny, in the wake of his father's death, wants to make a choice between art school and surfing. Cousin Camilla wants to be taken seriously. SPF-18 starts a bunch of unknown and bad actors, there's something of a plot i think? the dialogue is horrendous like the one from Alien Covenant (which one sentence is from) and Keanu Reeves? Why? (0/10)

To start off this review I would like to say that there should be an option for 0 stars out of 10. This movie was so god awful it doesn't deserve even a quarter of a star. This movie gave a whole new meaning to the word god awful because it was so bad. This movie had all the right components for a great movie but they were in all the wrong places and in a movie with no plot whatsoever. If you are a parent wanting to give your child a punishment, SPF-18 will do justice. In fact, if you are any human being whatsoever wanting to punish yourself, a family member, a friend, or even your fish go ahead and put this movie on. My first question of many is what drugs the screenwriter, director and producer were on when they a) thought of this movie and b) decided to actually go through with it. My second question is how did this movie even get any funding? My final question is with the funding from this movie how much of it went to therapy for the actors and viewers for their ptsd of having to be in or see this movie? I've been in elementary school plays that had better acting than this one. While writing this review it got deleted up until this point and I've had to recall everything I wrote before. At first, I was thinking, "Wow I don't know if I can do this". But then, I remembered that I got through watching all of Spf-18 so surely I could rewrite this review. So here you have it. You're welcome for this review that I've taken so much time for which clearly the producers of Spf-18 didn't care to do.

I won't add tons to existing reviews but to say that it has redeeming moments. The young actors are often engaging, and the movie has a refreshing lack of cynicism. I suspect this might be something people dissect in later years when these folks have advanced further in their careers. Other reviewers have sneered that it seems like a student film, and in some ways it does...perhaps intentionally, given the proclivities of the protanganist.One odd thing is that I don't think anyone proofed the credits—I think the film makers (and IMDb) have the two moms reversed.

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.
