Film: The Beach Girls (1982)

DVD: Anamorphic
Welcome to the Grindhouse: The Beach Girls/Coach

"What are you guys up to?"
"Look what we found."
"Is it? It isn't? It is."
"It's just a little weed. Well, maybe not such a little. How about six trash bags full."

Review: (Beach Girls) Not much of a plot, a girl throws a party at her uncle's beach house with two of her friends at the same time bags of marijuana wash up on the beach from a drug bust gone wrong by the Coast Guard. What makes the movie above average is the way the director is able to create an atmosphere of fun from just hanging out at a cool party. That is harder than it sounds.

"Ginger? Ducky? Ginger?"
"Whaa? Wow, what a night."
"I know. I spent the night in the bathtub because all the beds were full."
"Ah, jeez. It's World War III. Oh, God. Hey! Wake up, soldier. It's time to face the world. You seen Ducky?"
"Yeah. Ugh. My mouth feels like an army marched through it."
