Go To

A 1985 American adventure comedy directed by George Bowers that follows two young men (Rob Morrow and Johnny Depp) going to a resort for the weekend to meet rich girls, though they also run into a jewel thief (Héctor Elizondo) stealing from a society girl (Dody Goodman).

The movie also stars Andrew "Dice" Clay, Leslie Easterbrook, Michael Bowen, Hilary Shepard, Jill Selkowitz, and Tony Azito.

It was released on May 3, 1985.


Tropes for the film:

  • '80s Hair: The girls in the film have hair styles of the time.
  • Casanova Wannabe: Jack and Ben are trying their luck with wealthy girls while they are visiting the titular resort.
  • Disguised in Drag: Ben dresses as a woman to avoid the Meastro, as he is also chasing after them and the Maestro ends up flirting with him in the elevator.
  • Groin Attack: After a naked meditation session is interrupted at the end of the film, a woman uses a big muscly guy's testicles like a 'stress ball' (they were just hanging there, so why not put them to use?). Completely oblivious that she happens to be using his vulnerable crotch as a stress relief device (even despite the moaning and groaning) she squeezes harder and harder each time she emphasises a point. She makes one last point and we get one final crunch. Joy and amusement fills the onlooking females in the group, and we cut to the end credits.
  • Tagline:
    • "Spend a weekend with no reservations!".
    • "They're looking for hot times. And they came to the right place...".
    • "Where every room has a great view".
