Movie Reviews of Private ResortMovie Review: Hilarious! Summary: 4 StarsIn less talented hands, this comedy could have been a disaster. But here we have two great stars and a marvelous supporting cast in a guaranteed laugh-getter, perfect for parties. Morrow and Depp are at a Miami resort with their eyes on bikini-glad girls, but having the worst luck getting any in the sack. Depp ends up in hot water with a married woman while Morrow shares a bubble-bath with her husband, a gun-toting jewel thief. He's after a valuable diamond worn by a crazy karate-kicking grandmaw, but gets thrown out a window by her and beaten-up by everyone else. It's all wild and very, very funny.
Summary of Private ResortBen and Jack are a couple of guys hanging out at a posh Miami resort hoping to snag one of the wealthy and beautiful women who are staying there. Comic relief is provided by the Maestro, a jewel thief who dresses in drag. When he's not busy hopping in and out of bed, Jack manages to get Ben into plenty of trouble. Bikinis, breasts, and Johnny Depp's bare bottom are the selling points of archetypal teen sex comedy Private Resort. The plot has the purity of haiku: Two horny young men (Depp, Pirates of the Caribbean, Edward Scissorhands, and Rob Morrow, Northern Exposure, in his film debut) doggedly pursue scantily-clad women at a tropical vacation spot. Standing in their way are a bitter hotel detective and a jewel thief known as the Maestro (Hector Elizondo, Pretty Woman)--though his claim of mastery seems an overstatement; anyone expecting To Catch a Thief or The Thomas Crown Affair-style suavity will be sadly disappointed. Babes are ogled; breasts are exposed; bald middle-aged men are mocked as buffoons; and both Depp and Morrow strip naked, revealing pale posteriors--and, in Depp's case, a scrawny physique that would mortify any contemporary teen star. While this can't be called one of Depp's more nuanced performances, his trademark bemused nonchalance is already present in larval form. Ironically, given Depp's later reputation for soulfulness, Morrow is the sincere one who yearns for a sweet young waitress, while Depp is the cad who runs after anything with breasts (he refers to quaaludes as "the love drug" and "falls in love" with a girl who bends over in front of him in an aerobics class). Also featuring Andrew "Dice" Clay (The Adventures of Ford Fairlane) and Leslie Easterbrook (beloved from the Police Academy series). Discriminating cineastes will be happy to hear that Private Resort has been letterboxed, so the full frame of every shot can be fully appreciated. --Bret Fetzer
