Watched online, ok print.

20 songs in the Soundtracks, all in the score, including some by The Beach Boys, Thomas Dolby and Oingo Boingo.

When I created my master list of Music/als, apparently this was so tagged. After running it today, I wondered why it was. If I'd been paying attention, I would have noticed that today it is NOT tagged Music/al.

This is a combination surf, bare breast, and gross-out movie. Actually watching it would rate 4.

But the music is pretty good. So listening was ok, especially if you ignore the dialog and sound effects.

The announcer for the surf contest was The Poor Man, but said his station was something other than KROQ.

NOT recommended. Find the music elsewhere.

Interesting observation: I don't think any of the Music/als I've seen had actual Beach Boys songs in them.

Rated 4.1 by 540+ IMDb voters.
