jellopuke Review of The Malibu Bikini Shop

The Malibu Bikini Shop (1986)

Not quite trashy enough to be a classic

[5/10 · 3 October 2017]

This was close to being a great sex-comedy, but just strayed a little too close to the good taste line to really be one of the all-timers. You'd think a movie about bikini's would have more nudity, but it was fairly restrained in that regard and even the ending that should have been loaded with it was cut short. Not enough over the top gags or hijinks but it did have the whole "we need to make money in a week to save the store" plot line. Fun and slight, but needed an injection of raunch to really set sail.
