Good fun

Good fun is the best way to describe this movie. A ninety minute romp set on Australia's magical North Shore. (The same beaches that they shot Baywatch) And how about the beautiful photography? Wow, what a treat. Take Christopher Atkins, he looks like he's really enjoying himself, mix him with the hunky lifeguard Julian McMahon, who has now established himself on 'Nip and Tuck' and 'Charmed' and you have a nice mix of salt and pepper. Add Elliott Gould who plays Atkins dad, and you have a very good ensemble. This is not Shakespeare, this is good, light hearted fun. The soundtrack was excellent, this is a movie I really enjoyed and could watch it again, and again.
