Paradise Motel

I swear the 1-star raters were on acid as this movie is a GEM.

First rented on VHS back in the day, assuming it another teen sex comedy, because of the opening 'newlywed' sequence at the famed 'Paradise Motel'. But the fun had only started.

It's a totally engaging, though somewhat campy teen romp with the usual high school gang, parties, virgins, peer pressure, hunks, cuties, etc. As Sam's folks buy the famed Paradise Motel off the strip, as a new living investment. Sam making new friends after the kids "discover" the family business with hotshot Mick (Krantz), the high school jock and ladies-man, taking advantage by 'renting' rooms for his sweet-teen romps. Long as Sam's father doesn't find out.

Enter Laura, Mick's on/off again love-quest who takes mature interest in Sam, with issues of her own. Trying to ease out Mick and his other girlfriends while befriending Sam, who finally confronts Mick on his otherwise 'promiscuous' quests. 'Winning' squeaky clean Laura at the end. As they head out for a burger. Totally clean risque fun that is worth the watch.
