The film's time-warp, movie-nerd conceit is just clever enough to keep you entertained.

In spite of my pasty self, there's something I liked about all the relentless mugging and frugging.

It's too bad the makers didn't do a slightly better job casting the key roles, but taken on its own terms the 95-minute Disney Channel original plays like a brightly colored beach blanket, albeit one that's a little rough around its sandy edges.

Fun take on the 1960s beach movies with a modern flair. Great cast, fun songs. Underrated
