The Beach Girls Trailers

School is out, and three girls head to the beach for vacation. Two of the girls are world-wise party-goers who attempt to loosen up their naive, virginal friend, whose uncle has allowed the girls to stay at his beach house. When the near-sighted, drug smuggling Captain Bly dumps his cargo of marijuana, the bales wash up on shore. The two party girls, Ginger and Ducky, quickly stuff the dope into giant bags and spirit it back to the beach house, where it fuels a party with assorted misfits, delivery persons, and passersby.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

With school out for the summer, "Sarah" (Debra Blee) has invited a couple of her college friends by the names of "Ginger" (Val Kline) and "Ducky" (Jeana Tomasino) to spend some time with her at the spacious beach house of her uncle named "Carl Purdue" (Adam Roarke). Although Sarah prefers to spend her time with just Ginger and Ducky, both of her friends have other ideas and soon young men and women from all over appear and the party soon gets out of hand. Along with that a notorious drug runner named "Captain Jack" (Paul Richards) just happens to be operating in the area and this has drawn the attention of the Coast Guard led by the strict officer named "Captain Blye" (Herbie Braha). Now rather than reveal any more of this movie I will just say that it deviated quite sharply from the "beach movies" of the past. Instead of the conventional humor and the innocent, romantic drama between scantily clad men and women on a beach which was so prevalent in the films of the 60's, this particular movie attempts to essentially combine its humor with both nudity and drug use. Strangely enough, it wasn't the nudity which caused this film to suffer as much as it was comedy aspect which tended to fall really flat. Throw in a lot of bad acting on the part of just about everyone concerned and there really isn't much in this film to recommend to anyone. For what it's worth though, of the young ladies present I thought both Val Kline and Tessa Richarde (as "Doreen") were easily the most attractive of the bunch and certainly helped brighten the scenery to some extent. Unfortunately, their presence wasn't enough for me to rate this film any higher than I have. Slightly below average.

Here we go again, another summer sex flick, that starts off just like Where The Boys Are. Three girls, two wild sorts, the other introverted, who's parents are lending their beach house out to them, pick up stud/singer (Daughton) who went on to star in Spies Luke Us. Of course the situation is clichéd as Daughton falls for 'Ms Virginal doesn't know how to have a good time'. Rent The Bikini Shop that came out years later, it's the same character related scene there. The wild girls, the bikini girls, hit marijuana gold, where it washes up on the beach. Plot: there's hardly any, and what there is of it is all clichéd. How's that hot blondie wild child, who falls for the Dad of her introverted friend. They make out, I mean she's a devouring sight to the eyes, plonked ever so close. next to him, as she smokes some Mary Jane and chugs down some water sexily from a container, one of my vivid memories of this weak as water film. Even more weirder, is we have the second housekeeper from the t.v. sitcom, Different Strokes. This is a long tiresome sex romp, a straining watch for some. The acting is as you would expect, though there's a couple of good performances (Huckabee, Daughton, and Mary Jo Catlett) The movie's song "Gonna go to Paradise" is probably the film's best asset, but the hot blonde's deliciously stark presence is another. Just don't go looking for a movie here.

Debra Blee is Sarah the straight arrow bookworm tasked with housesitting for her uncle Carl (Adam Roarke). The fact that it is a fairly large estate on the beach makes it the ideal spot for the endless parties thrown by Sarah's polar opposite friends Ginger (Val Kline) and Ducky (Jeana Tomasina). Ginger and Ducky also bring a hitchhiking wanderer Scott (James Daughton) who seems to be interested in getting to know (in the biblical way of course) the shy Sarah. Meanwhile a drug deal gone bad leaves garbage bags filled with marijuana on the beach which are found by the girls and are kindly handed out to attendees of that night's celebration. Soon, Carl is notified by neighbors to return home immediately to put an end to the hijinks whereupon he becomes instantly smitten with the usually topless Ginger and Ducky. You get the jist.Don't expect "From Here to Eternity" as this is the typical early eighties beer, boobs and beach flick that doesn't require a strong storyline in order to display the next pair of breasts, though I'm not complaining. The women are all very attractive especially the voluptuous Sarah who finally shows off her wonderful assets toward the end of the movie. Ducky, played by Jeana Tomasina can be seen on "Housewives of Orange County" as a not so svelte anymore (Then again who is?) Jeana Keough. The sideplot involving Carl and the much younger Ginger and Ducky is too much to believe even for a silly movie like this. Why would these women saddle themselves with this old man when plenty of men their age are at their parties? Future Hugh Hefner "housemates" perhaps? All things considered watching this movie is like peeing in the ocean. It gave you quick relief and nobody has to know you did it.

Although this sex comedy was released in 1982, it's really more of a 1970's flick in that it isn't about a bunch of geeky teenagers trying to lose their virginity, and it has a refreshingly politically incorrect attitude toward illegal drugs that is more typical of the late 70's Cheech and Chong era than the "Just Say No" Reagan era. The plot, to use the term loosely, involves a beautiful young college student who invites her two sexy girlfriends to her uncle's beach house. The uninhibited friends "Ginger" and "Ducky" quickly turn the place into a hedonist playground. But then the uncle (Adam Rourke) shows up and threatens to put the kibosh on the whole thing, so the two mischievous lasses BOTH seduce him. There's also a lame subplot about a group of marijuana smugglers trying to elude a coast guard patrol, led by "Captain Bly" (this is the sound of me forgetting to laugh), so they have to drop their "cargo" and, of course, it ends up on the beach where the girls find it.This movie is pretty damn stupid, and it offers such witty fun as fist-fight between offensive racial stereotypes (a horny Mexican gardener and an incoherent Japanese chauffeur). The main protagonist, Debra Blee, is absolutely beautiful, even if she fails to lose her virginity, get naked, or even put on a bikini. There's plenty of nudity, however, most notably from former Playboy Playmate Jeanna Tomasino, who if I could describe with one adjective, it would be "boner-inducing" (although I don't think that's an adjective). Adam Rourke was once in real movies like "Psych Out" and "Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry", but he was obviously collecting a nice paycheck here, and he got to frolic around with naked nubiles half his age--nice work if you can get it. I'd recommend this movie if you see it the way I did--it comes on TV and you're too drunk or lazy to change the channel--but don't go too far out of your way.
