Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIf you notice, all of the actresses in the movie have high-waist bikinis that cover their navels. Most of the actresses in the "Beach" movies of the 60's wore regular bikinis of the time that did expose their navels but not Ms. Annette Funicello in Beach Party (1963). Ms. Funicello was still under contract with Disney at the time and was on loan to do the Beach movies. It is a widely reported myth that Mr. Walt Disney forbid Annette from exposing her navel. Ms. Funicello addressed this issue in her 1994 autobiography where explained she chose not to expose her navel "out of respect" for Mr. Disney. However, Ms. Funicello's navel is shown in the later installment of the Beach series.
- GoofsIn the final surfing scene, Mack's hair goes from up, to down, to up again while in the water surfing.
- Crazy creditsOuttakes play during the end credits, followed by an additional scene: the characters from the 1960s are transported to the 2010s and are frightened by modern artifacts such as camera-phones, leading into the story of Teen Beach 2 (2015).

Featured review
Really catchy and fun to watch.
This is a mix of Dirty Dancing, Grease and Cry Baby (any Johnny Depp fans will know what I'm talking about). I find nothing wrong with this movie at all. It's trying to recreate a genre that was forgotten about for quite a while and honestly they have done a pretty good job. Sure it's a little bit silly and the storyline is rather vapid but that is the point. It's supposed to be imitating something not creating something new and groundbreaking.
It probably helps that I personally enjoy musicals but I wouldn't recommend it to someone who is a bit more serious. The songs are fun, dorky yet pretty catchy...I dare you to not start singing along. Overall I think it's another decent movie from the team at Disney original movies.
