Lifes a beach for surfers Brady and McKenzie until a rogue wave magically transports them inside the classic 60s beach party flick Wet Side Story where a fullblown rivalry between bikers and surfers threatens to erupt. There amidst a sea of surfing singing and dancing Brady and Mack accidentally change the storyline and the films dreamy hero and heroine fall for them instead of for each other!

Review

Teen Beach Party is a movie about being in a movie as our two stars find themselves going from 2012 back to 1962 and becoming part of a Teen Beach Movie.

This is good solid Disney fare it looks very Disney the colors are bright the mood is up the song and dance numbers are beyond professional etc and it is fun it's fun because we know that they know that we know that this movie in a movie (if you're still with me) it all just works well.

There is more going here than just a time travel surf movie there is a real homage and detailing to those Sixties movies that is surprising. Our kids loved it and so did we on one level its a fun summer movie for kids with dance and innocent romance on a level it has something to say about film and roles surprising!
