Funny 80's skin flick
17 July 2006
This one is hard to rate. This is of course a complete mess of a movie; jumps from one set piece to another with only so little to tie them together. We basically watch sex starved Depp and Morrow try to make the most out of a weekend in a luxurious Private Resort Hotel and all they do is get into a whole lot of trouble.

But the movie is fun. A totally 80's comedy, with the atmosphere planted solely on sex and low brow humor which more than a few times hits bull's eye. It doesn't hurt either if you grew up watching this film, some good memories associated with this one in my case. The fact that this film doesn't make a whole lot of sense and is way over he top, especially near the end, actually works in it's favor.

The cast is willing and able. Depp and especially Morrow are very appealing leads but Elizondo completely steals the show as the world's unluckiest jewel thief (also with the world's ugliest haircut). Everybody seems to be having fun doing this and no one takes himself too seriously. How could they anyway?

As said, the film is hard to rate. It's not a sophisticated comedy which can boast of solid writing and plotting but as a sexually charged 80's skin flick comedy it ranks as one of the more pleasurable, in my opinion at least.
