Movie Info

Day or night, it's a hot and wild summer at Malibu Beach. When the sun is high, it's Dina's (Kim Lankford) job to patrol the area. Being the hot new lifeguard on duty isn't as easy as you'd think -- there's the older, muscle-bound beach idiot Dugan (Steven J. Oliver) continually lusting after her, while jerk kids fake drowning just to get her to save them. And who can forget that pesky bikini-stealing dog?!? Thankfully, when the moon comes up, it's time to party 1978-style. With her best friend

R, 1 hr. 33 min.

another one from the early days. I was probably only 11 or 12 when I saw this on cable but it's more nostalgic on re-viewing. Mischaracterized as a 'beach girls' movie, this is more of a drama characteristic of other late 70s coming of age movies.

Typical beach fare with bikini babes and guys vying for the attentions of said babes, has a recurring gag of a dog stealing bikini tops that made me laugh for no reason other than how corny it was.Worth a look, it's good silly fun.
