Movie Reviews of Private Resort
Movie Review: i remember this!
Summary: 3 Stars
thats right i saw it when i was little and it was funny and stuff:D i think its pretty good i didnt remember jhonny depp in it but ahhh:DMovie Review: Amusing teen age sex farce
Summary: 2 Stars
The 21 year old Johnny Depp appears here as one of two teens on the make at a Florida resort hotel - their only wish is to get laid. Complications ensue. Nothing new here - situations evolve out of classic farce and slapstick encounters. Both Rob Morrow and Depp expose their butts in a few sequences and there are more exposed women's breasts than in any other commercially released film I've seen. There is the inept jewel thief, the lecherous waiter with designs on the sweet young waitress and a dotty matron.
Morrow manages to be obnoxious and Depp merely cute. He isn't called upon to create a character here - it was after all his first leading film role and only his second film appearance.
There are a few continuity errors probably due to editing decisions but only one stands out (Depp manages to bed his girl but we don't see anything of the encounter the night before, only waking up the morning after).
Tony Azito and Hector Aleandro are amusing as the frustrated security director and the jewel thief, but the film is stolen by Dody Goodman as the dotty matron. Watching her throw herself at a barber in the bushes after accidentally downing a handful of quualudes and attempting to thwart the theft of her diamond with a number of karate moves bring the only real laughs in the film.
To summarize, an amusing teen age sex farce with lots of exposed skin, but nothing more.
Movie Review: A FEW LAUGHS HERE AND THERE
Summary: 2 Stars
PRIVATE RESORT is the kind of movie that was geared towards young adult audiences in the mid-80s when sexual awareness and exposition were the hot ticket in theatres. However, I'm sure this film is one that Johnny Depp, Hector Elizondo and Rob Morrow aren't proud to have on their resume.
The movie's plot is slim, and neither Morrow or Depp have any screen presence in this early stage of their careers. Elizondo tries gamely and pulls off a few laughs, but he's not at his best either. Most of the film's laughs come from Leslie Hope as a slightly off kilter cosmic bimbo; Dody Goodman as a dotty old lady who knows karate and Tony Azito as a bumbling hotel security guard. There's lots of slapstick, some of it works, most of it doesn't. You can do better, folks.
Movie Review: Better than I thought it would be
Summary: 2 Stars
I ordered this movie and actually mistook it for "Hot Resort" Same year (1985) and almost the same name with a similar setting. Private Resort was pretty good, had it's moments, and just kept you wondering what was going to happen next. It was one of those mid-80s teen on the beach flicks, so watch it if you don't want drama or horror.Movie Review: Sorta funny, but mostly lame
Summary: 2 Stars
A very accurate testament to the 18 year old boy's mind, this movie's best feature is a shot of Johnny Depp's naked rear-end. It's one of those classically bad 80's movies that's filled with funny cliches (you will roll your eyes), corny characters, and an unpredictable and surprisingly complete plot makes you finish watching.
