The greatest movie ever made..!

SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

I saw the first one, 'Teen Beach', about a year ago. Back then I wrote in part, " I found it totally fun to watch, with its playing on the time-travel themes and real people influencing characters in a movie." Now I can say the same for this one. For what it is, for what it tries to do, it is a very nicely entertaining movie.Most of the cast are the same actors in the same roles but the time- travel reversed. The young actors are talented and energetic and the movie has several nice singing and dancing production numbers. It is a nice throw-back to the beach movies of the 1960s when I was an actual teenager. In the first movie Ross Lynch as Brady and his new girlfriend Maia Mitchell as Mack are on the surf and magically get transported to their favorite movie, they have encounters with the characters, much as the twins do in "Pleasantville." In this movie the opposite happens, one of the girls in the movie finds Mack's lost necklace and it magically transports her and her boyfriend into Brady and Mack's world. Those two are Grace Phipps as Lela and Garrett Clayton as Tanner.Much like in both "Pleasantville" and in "Purple Rose of Cairo" the characters only knew what was contained in the various scripts and had to learn most modern stuff anew. Like what a cell phone is. And, like in "Back to the Future" where Marty's siblings started to fade from a photo when it looked like he might have messed up his parents' getting together, in this movie characters start to disappear when it looks like Lela and Tanner like their new world too much and might not travel back to the characters in the movie.And there is yet another wrinkle, if they don't go back then the movie might never exist and Brady and Mack would never meet by never seeing the movie. All of this is of course resolved by the end, and like in "Pleasantville", Mack and Brady tell the characters that they don't have to do what they always did, they can change things up.The movie ends with an extravagant production number, the movie is playing on a big screen outdoors in the background while on the beach the cast are dancing and singing on the beach. The real kids and the characters in the movie are doing the same moves, it comes across really well.I saw it on Netflix streaming.

I've never seen teen beach 1, but I was thoroughly entertained by this movie. It was not what I was expecting at all. I thought it was smart and funny, and at times a little cheesy. I've had the last song stuck in my head all day. I was laughing out loud at the '60s scenes. Maia Mitchell is a babe, and Ross Lynch seems like a really likable, talented guy.I was expecting a sappy love story, but i was pleasantly surprised by the story line. Tanner, in the commercials, had me rolling my eyes because I didn't know he was supposed to be from the 60s, but his character was actually really funny, I loved the obliviousness and the intentional overacting in the 60s scenes. I loved the last song and I could watch Maia Mitchell dance to it all day.

It's really not as bad as everybody thinks. It still has that same goofy sweet vibe that the original one was famous for but it starts to also turn the characters into multidimensional people with lives outside of surfing. Probably the weirdest thing though was when they return to their normal lives and it's so believable that you can't believe you didn't see how badly matched they were for each other from the beginning. But somehow those two crazy kids are made for each other.There are a few songs in this one too and I still found myself taping along to the numbers even if they weren't as catchy. It may not have been as good as the first one but it wasn't a bad way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

This movie had its moments but it wasn't quite as good as the first.Some questions, and realize there are spoilers here.SPOILER OK, so first--I think they blew an opportunity. You had the characters of the movie come into the real world. It would have been interesting to have those characters somehow come in contact with the actors that played them--who of course would be 53 years older.It was a little unclear how much time passed between the first and second movies. It almost seemed as if it was like a week later at most.Some more plot points.Again, heavy spoilers here.If it was possible to somehow change the movie at the end, from Wet Side Story to Lela: Queen of the Beach, and because of that, Mac and Brady never met, then Brady never had a Wet Side Story to love, and they never end up in that movie, and never meet Lela and Tanner.If they never meet Lela and Tanner, then Lela never changes the movie.I think it would have made more sense if instead of reliving the movie, we followed the characters from the point AFTER Mac and Brady left.Lela Queen of the Beach then could have been a sequel.Plus, I feel the ending cheats the audience a bit. I get what they were trying to do, but the execution didn't work for me.I do hope they make a third movie though, and don't wait 2 years to do it.
