I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Truly Dreadful Film

Good concept, poorly executed.

In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

Before internet, before everyone started screaming; racism, sexism, offensive this and that, and before everybody had a bug up their A** There were skins flicks as we used to call them when I was a kid in the 80s. Next to the beach, this was the best way to watch girls in different states of nudity. Now these films might not be Oscar material, but to us kids in the 80s it was heaven. Don't get me wrong hardly any of them, if any, have any greater plot than to show good looking half naked girls,and maybe give a few good laughs while they do so. But if you are expecting a movie like this to have any other purpose than nudity and good looking girls,you have parked your but in front of the wrong movie. I give this 5 star. For the memory alone

Clean cut college grad Michael David Wright (as Alan Finston) and hunky blonde brother Bruce Greenwood (as Todd Finston) inherit "The Malibu Bikini Shop" as part of their aunt's Ida's estate. While they decide whether or not to liquidate, you get an ample look at dozens of young women in bikinis. Writer/director David Wechter starts it off with in loving fashion. There are close-ups of bikini tops. There are close-ups of bikini bottoms. There are also some topless treats, but not as close-up. The plot has the lads in danger of losing the shop, due to Mr. Wright's cranky fiancée Debra Blee (as Jane Rutledge). In one of his last appearances, veteran Frank Nelson (as Richard J. Remington) leads an adept supporting cast.***** The Malibu Bikini Shop (10/86) David Wechter ~ Michael David Wright, Bruce Greenwood, Barbara Horan, Frank Nelson

The mind numbing dream sequences are so bad that it's hard to believe anyone can make it through them to watch what more of this movie lives on the other side. What is will surely disappoint. Bad acting, bad directing, and bad bikinis add up to a lousy bikini movie. If the dream sequences aren't the worst example of big screen directing, the film's final sequence is. In it, the snobby ex-fiancee is humiliated when her dress is torn off, revealing she wears a girdle, in front of her hardbody bikini clad replacement. Sounds almost funny, except the scene comes off about as funny, and looks more like, a mugging. Nothing to see hear folks..

This film most definitely belongs in the so-bad-it's-almost-good category. Very much a product of its time (1985), the hairstyles, fashions and soundtrack songs are hysterical to those of us who were fortunate (?!) enough to grow up in the 80s. There are embarrassing dance sequences, bikinis that are testament to the aerobics craze - and of course there's lots of flesh on display. Hmmm, must be a guy thing... Bruce Greenwood is the only actor in the cast who has moved on to bigger and better things - I bet a clip of this will come to haunt him one day on The Tonight Show!
