Featured review
For Ron Jeremy completists only
Here is another tedious teen sex "comedy" outing, in which you don't believe in or care about any of the activity on screen, and the scant nudity is not nearly enough to warrant sitting through this mess.
To give you an idea of the level of humour involved, the movie features two moronic criminals named Dick and Duke Dork, aka. the Dork brothers. This is the pinnacle of comedy the movie reaches; it is hard to say if these character names are the funniest part of the movie, since I can't really remember any other attempts at humour throughout the hour and a half runtime. These movies generally are only "comedies" in name only, and Spring Fever USA/Lauderdale/whatever other names it was released under is a grand example of that.
It is also a road movie, and perhaps the most tedious road movie I've ever seen. These scenes are handled by showing the hero's vehicle driving toward the camera with signs flashing by on the screen. Occasionally this is interrupted by the characters entering a different surf shop, each staffed by a girl in a bikini, asking if they're going in the right direction. Then they get back in the car, continue driving toward the camera, and more road signs are superimposed over the screen.
The hero is apparently chasing after the "girl of his dreams", a babe so tall and masculine-featured I was sure we were going to get that other staple of teen sex comedy: a hero so horny he doesn't realise his dreamboat is actually male. She may not be male, but she is a moron, dumb enough to lead the hero on his grand chase after he rescues her from the Dorks. He's not alone however: another girl joins him on the chase, though I never really understood her purpose for being there aside from the obvious forced happy ending in which he realises who amongst them he really cares for.
At one point, when he actually reaches Fort Lauderdale (it takes a long, long time for this point to arrive, but in some places the movie was released as "Lauderdale"), the hero will get information or whatever he needs to reach the GohD, but first he has to win this information in... a belly flop competition! Thus we are treated to the sight of fat men jumping belly-first into a swimming pool repeatedly, as if this were somehow entertaining. The hero, of course, wins, by jumping from such a height he would certainly at least break his neck. Unfortunately, he doesn't, and the movie continues.
There are many tall, mannish blonde women in this movie, and most of the breasts glimpsed are of the '80s, pasty white tan-line variety. Ron Jeremy makes an appearance as a robber in a liquor store. So I guess the only people you could recommend this movie to would be Ron Jeremy completists? They must exist somewhere. I only hope I never meet them.
