Son of the Beach Audience Reviews

WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable
Brainsbell The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
Dave from Ottawa Casual viewers are warned that this show will stoop to any level to get a cheap laugh. Be ready for some of the rudest double entendres that ever (barely) sneaked past TV censors. Played deadpan straight, this spoof of Baywatch features heroic lifeguards going undercover, and solving crimes such as smashing sex slave rings... basically doing anything but actually watching the beach. Thin-limbed, soft-bellied Timothy Stack is a sight gag as Notch Johnson, the world's greatest lifeguard. The rest of the cast look better in swimsuits, but have no more grasp of the ridiculousness of the show's goings on than Notch. As the show went on, changes were evident in the cast dynamic. The season three opener was a clever spoof of reality shows that also introduced the manipulative Porcelain Bidet, a new foil for Kimberley, the only character with a sense of irony. The tension between these two provided a novel cast dynamic previously not present within the almost too chummy group. The 'professor' character - an obvious nod to Stephen hawking - went from a one-episode bad guy to become the show's one-man forensic lab. The character of the antagonistic mayor was written out - she appears on a milk carton a few episodes into the final season. Also, star Jaime Bergman became pregnant, and this was written cleverly into the show - she went to Washington D.C. to be a congressional intern, and came back pregnant! The continuation of this storyline forms the three episode finale of the series as the team runs afoul of secret conspirators seeking to grab power in Malibu Adjacent.Verbally inventive and clever, if rude, and very funny.
movieman_kev Timothy Stack (of the late lamented "Night Stand with Dick Dietrick") stars as Notch Johnson in the sexual double-entadre charged Baywatch parody. Dick and his small, yet powerful unit of lifeguards seek to suck the evil out of every nook and cranny in which the find it. Sure it'll be long and hard, but if they penetrate deep enough and perhaps go undercover on occasion, they're sure to tap the vein of corruption and taste the warm salty aftertaste of a job well done. They've been in these type of sticky situations before and aren't above getting their hands wet. Shame this show got canceled prematurely though.My Grade: B DVD Extras: Introduction for each of the 3 discs by Timothy Stack in character as Notch Johnson; Commentary by various cast and crew on 3 ; 5 & a half minutes of Outtakes with introduction; 1 TV spots; a paltry 3 minute Behind the scenes Featurette; 6 & a half minute Son of the beach piece; 1 minute on the crew; 3 montages (Psychedelic, Baby oil, & Sexy Higlights); 2 and a half minute makeup artist montage (billed as 'too hot for TV', but don't believe it, it's ultra tame)
Raahauge The one and only thing there is to say about this show is that it is like candy for your eye. Great babes with very little clothes on. Especially Amy Weber is great viewing. Watch this show for what it is and nothing more.
Joshua Bozeman This is one of the funniest shows on tv today. There have actually been few shows as funny in a long time. Most of the time, the stories are really cheesy, but that's purposeful, so you really can't complain about that. Stack is a comic genius if you ask me, and I have thought so ever since Nightstand. He shines throughout the series, and the others do as well. The show is PACKED full of laughs, it's the kind of series that has a joke in every line, and it works perfectly here. Great actors who are genuinely funny, and a comedic undertone that is just plain outstanding, this show is a 10.
