Blu-ray Review – Miracle Beach

"Miracle Beach" has terrible timing. A 1984-style beach shenanigans endeavor that was ultimately produced in 1992, the feature missed its chance to battle the competition, coming up with its own display of horndog antics featuring a bevy of topless women, while goofball supporting characters manage slapstick requirements poorly. Perhaps in the thick of the trend, the film might've found its place as harmless entertainment, trying to provide enough bikini-ogling antics as possible while nursing its fantasy premise. In the 1990s, the effort sticks out awkwardly, positioned as bottom shelf video store fodder for teenage boys. Weirdly bland and incredibly unfunny, "Miracle Beach" is too friendly to inspire viewer rage, but the boredom it generates as it goes about its business stumbling through terrible scenes is enormous, with director Skott Snider caught uncomfortably between the "Mannequin"-esque date movie he wants to make and the T&A fest the producers are counting on.
