Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

barnyard-1 Just a fun movie set in the 80's before political correctness, which has driven movies to be largely manufactured with the same plots, and with a single developed character (supporting actors with real roles has become a thing of the past). The feminists will scream exploitation, but it's harmless fun, and extremely tame compared to what teenagers now watch on the internet by comparison - just bikinis and a few boobs. It's a fact of life that men will always look at women, especially good looking ones; and this film has a number of them, plus some good music. The plot was never meant to be drama, but just a light weight comedy about two boys inheriting a bikini shop - every guys dream; and their attempts to save it with marketing initiatives worth seeing. It was never attempting to win an academy award - the film doesn't take itself seriously; but rather just providing light titillation with a few chuckles & smiles. No murders or gratuitous violence; you just end up with a grin after watching it. Our world could do worse.

DiamondGirl427 Of course this was shown on a free "Showtime" channel. Who would spend any $$ on it as a rental? Even when it was a new film...back in the 80s..did it last long in the theaters? I am fairly sure it didn't. First of all..the two guys...brothers..look nothing alike..but then I guess that was on purpose somehow because they are SUPPOSE to be polar opposites of each other? The smart business one seems lame when it comes to doing anything unless it is business related..and he shows up to help his beach bum type brother with handling a late aunts' final wishes. She died and left them everything..a huge house on the beach and a surf shop that seems to be well stocked but lacking in customers most of the time. The girls who work there are all seen in some kind of beachwear...ugly bathing suits that were in style then..but still look tacky. What surf shop has its' employees dressed like that anyway? None of the girls looked like they spent much time actually in the sun..maybe they worked 24/7? The funny brothers...who in some way reminded ne of a young Dennis Quaid...had his moments of being funny...but he was a slacker..and yet the girls were all over him..how sexy is a guy who washes up in a sink...and never seems to be really clean? Gross. The girl who played the very immature rich girl the other up-tight guy was engaged to was WAY over the top. What guy in his right mind would want any of THAT MESS? He seemed to nice to be doing it just for a position in her fathers' company. He could not have had the super hots for the daughter either...she was as unsexy as you could get. Woof. Various people wander in and out of scenes...the delivery guy was NOT at all humorous...a character that was a waste of time..he added nothing to even the small scene he was in. The addition of the smart girl..the one who was a college major or some such...seemed OK...and predictable..a match for the smart brother of course...but she seemed too old for the part...as did most of the "young" characters in this stupid thing. The girls all pitch in an make AMAZING bikinis out of random stuff they got..and PRESTO!! Instant fashions!! There is a scene where one of the sales girls dances in a dream-like moment...and well..the dancing was worse than anything I had ever seen. I guess she was the best dancer who applied for the part...which is not saying much. There are bare breast moments with a big breasted girl...who has no idea there is a two way mirror in front of her...wow..hardcore..which is off set by a ugly fat woman doing the same thing...thinking she is sexy and will fit into a tiny bikini. How predictable. The storyline is easy...smart brother falls in love with smart girl at the store...they hook up...and he realizes his fiancé is a dog...meanwhile...the slacker brother is bed hopping and it is a party for him at every turn...But...both brothers learn something..and the movie ends sweetly...after a bunch of ridiculous chaos ensues. A funny movie if you crave bad 80s flicks...but to use it as an example of what went on during that time frame in history...think again. LOL.

bassrourke Wow, I have never heard of this until recently stumbling across it in a $2 bin of used VHS videos. Bruce Greenwood shows more flair here than he ever did in Double Jeopardy. what a cool film, especially the finale where all the bikini's that a mass of running girls are wearing, dissolve. If thats not good enough what about the two way mirrors in the shop itself, straight out of Porky's. Mr. Remington has a few good one liners, but it's all about Tod, Bruce Greenwood, is the brains behind his brother's nerdyness. Why this Canadian actor wearing a sailors hat and an unbuttoned shirt is appealing to me, I don't know, but he's choice in the role. As soon as you listen to the soundtrack you may think they are reject songs from Valley Girl, but there are some really good music. Better than 'Welcome to 18'. In Australia it was just called 'The Bikini Shop' and got a theatrical release, when as a teenybopper, gave it 10/10 too. See it.

Sam Williams "Malibu" Bikini Shop is a Sex Comedy that manages to be neither comedic nor sexy. Well, maybe a little bit sexy. But the scenes of Barbara Horan in the hot tub are hardly worth enduring terrible music, embarrassing fashions (sadly, the bikinis are some of the biggest violators) a thin, implausible, wholly predictable plot, and characters that are all one dimensional caricatures. This isn't even a "so bad it's good" kind of bad. It's more of a "sixth graders write better than this" bad and "how the hell can a movie about girls wearing bikinis be so unenjoyably" bad. Imagine an Elvis movie and the depth of plot those had, only instead of Elvis you have a pair of B-cups thrown in every 18 minutes or so and you have a pretty good idea of what you're in for with Bikini shop.I realize this isn't exactly Masterpiece Theater, but if you want to see skin (which is why 99% of people would even consider watching this) it would be so much more efficient to just look at a Playboy or even an episode of Rock of Love. The girls in this movie, while young and fit, are saddled with horrendous wardrobes and situations. Visually, none of them really rate higher than about a 7 out of 10.If you're still reading this review, you may be a Trekkie interested in Bruce Greenwood's early work and you're on the fence about if it's worth the time. Be warned: are you prepared for Bruce in a belly shirt? I advise having your thumb locked and ready on the ff/scan button. Life is too short to waste watching trash like this, and when I write "trash," I don't mean in a morally reprehensible way. I mean in a lazy, lowest common denominator kind of way.Bonus points to anyone who figures out why "Malibu" is sometimes attached to this title when the movie hints that it takes place in Santa Monica.
