Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello not only starred in the delightfully "retro" Back to the Beach, but also served as executive producers. Appropriately set 25 years after such drive-in faves as Beach Blanket Bingo, the film finds Frankie and Annette as husband and wife, living far from the surf 'n' sand in Ohio. Heading to California to visit their daughter Lori Loughlin, Frankie and Annette are appalled to learn that she has been keeping time with punker Tommy Hinkley. In time-honored

As fgood as taking a time-machine back to the 60's
Silly fun.
A bouncy, high-energy spoof and one of the best movie musicals of the last couple of decades.
Silly, but with some great one-liners.
Face it, it just doesn't work
Weirdly entertaining little retro flashback, full of bizarre cameos and endearingly goofball music.
"Back to the Beach" is, by no means, a deep and thought-provoking motion picture, [but] when you're dealing with Frankie and Annette, what more could you ask for?
When a couple decide to visit their daughter at their old beach resort, trouble and mayhem follow them at every turn. An updated 80's version of the old "Beach" movies from the 60's brings out an all star cast with a few great songs. Fans of the cast make this cult classic a must see and own!!!!!!!!!!!!
