Yes the movie was bad, maybe some of these comments are a bit exaggerated, but the movie wasn't great.. let's be real. I'm snowed In, it's 2am , I need a good movie to watch. And this movie pops up in my recommendations every day.! So I was like oh what the heck noah's Cute ass is on the movie cover. Why not .? The movie starts ... the intro is already very long... unecessary. Fast forward the movie proceeds. The acting wasn't great. BUT.!!! We CANNOT blame the actors . Apart from this movie , these actors and actresses have acted in different projects .. and they were great. They were amazing.. Noah and Bianca .. both acted on the hit tv show "The Fosters" . They were great. So maybe it wasn't the acting . These actors and actresses were not exposed to their full potential, the script was CRINGE within itself . You know when you look really good, and you know you look good, but in order to take a good picture , Of course you need a good angle . You can't simply just take a good picture at a really bad angle with trash lighting, with your double chin exposed, and your face overshadowed. The whole movie was just a bad angle for these young actors. The script ,the plot, the wardrobe, the camera work. Everything .

The only things I liked about this movie was the 80's music, and seeing a lot of Noah Centineo without a shirt 💦👙(this is the emoji closest to panties 😆😉) The plot is horrible, and the acting is awkward. The IMDb rules says I have to write 5 lines in this review. You should not waste your precious lazy Sundays on this. I'm just using space now. Lol.

I watched this movie just to see Noah Centineo's perfect face and beautiful eyes but I was then met with the worst movie to ever exist. First of all the movie made no sense, there was like 6 different plot lines and I truly didn't understand any of the relationships. The acting sucked and the only good thing was the view of the beach. Also the movie just made no sense all around and I would NEVER recommend this to a friend, this movie should just be deleted from everywhere. However I still love you Noah.

It is not even sci-fi still minions are more realistic than this movie. If i had a chance to delete one of my memories, itd be it.

I'm pretty sure this movie was written by a 13 year old girl with rich parents who could bank roll the entire thing. The parents must have some horrible dirt on Keanu, Goldie Hawn and Rosanna Arquette in order to get them to be in this huge pile of garbage. The whole thing made me angry and I don't even know who to be most angry at the writers, director or the poor unfortunate souls who had to perform in this train wreck.

This must have been one of the worst... "things" I have seen in a long time. Calling it a movie would even be offensive to a really bad movie.

First of all the weird voice over sounds like someone forced their mom to read lines they had come with 2 minutes earlier, which would actually in a way be a good thing because it would be the ONLY logical explanation to why she makes everything sound so painfully awkward. And I just cannot NOT address the fact that Molly Ringwald plays the mom, I mean I have seen desperation amongst once famous actors but she has just taken the crown. Not to mention that the script is so bad it makes you wanna rip your hair out. Overall SPF-18 looks like it could have easily been made by middle schoolers and the fact that anyone would call this piece of crap an actual movie hurts my intelligence.

Since this catastrophic piece of "film making" was Alex Israel's directorial debut I'm guessing we wont be seeing cinematic masterpieces from him any time soon. Goes to show that getting a bunch of fairly good looking yet extremely mediocre actors and placing them in a luxurious environment does not necessarily make a good movie, or you know, in this case a movie at all.

To start off this review I would like to say that there should be an option for 0 stars out of 10. This movie was so god awful it doesn't deserve even a quarter of a star. This movie gave a whole new meaning to the word god awful because it was so bad. This movie had all the right components for a great movie but they were in all the wrong places and in a movie with no plot whatsoever. If you are a parent wanting to give your child a punishment, SPF-18 will do justice. In fact, if you are any human being whatsoever wanting to punish yourself, a family member, a friend, or even your fish go ahead and put this movie on. My first question of many is what drugs the screenwriter, director and producer were on when they a) thought of this movie and b) decided to actually go through with it. My second question is how did this movie even get any funding? My final question is with the funding from this movie how much of it went to therapy for the actors and viewers for their ptsd of having to be in or see this movie? I've been in elementary school plays that had better acting than this one. While writing this review it got deleted up until this point and I've had to recall everything I wrote before. At first, I was thinking, "Wow I don't know if I can do this". But then, I remembered that I got through watching all of Spf-18 so surely I could rewrite this review. So here you have it. You're welcome for this review that I've taken so much time for which clearly the producers of Spf-18 didn't care to do.

I make a habit of watching awful movies for fun and this is the first movie I could not finish. I made it halfway through the movie and there was still no plot. The acting is atrocious and the outfits are absolutely hideous. The celebrity cameos were embarrassing to them and their careers. The characters were poorly developed and did not represent the proper age range they were supposed to. Everything in this movie is predictable and cliche. DO NOT WATCH! SAVE YOUR EYES!

This movie is terrible. I'm wondering how it got made. It seems like the director was attempting to make a high-brow film that comes off more like an arrogant 13-year old's Philosophy essay. The main actress looks like she was fed the lines one minute before every scene was filmed. The lines are reminiscent of a Sunday Hallmark film. The country singer character seems like a caricature of country singers which was almost insulting. The cameos are bewildering, like an uncle bragging about knowing the President.

It's a Painful, and I repeat Painful watch. Why would Netflix stream such a movie? It's a sight for sore eyes. I understand now that the International Version of Netflix has no respect for its viewers.

This is by far one of the the greatest achievements in film cringe of all time.

I commend particularly the screen writer for their dedication to their job and sever lack of understanding as to what makes decent dialogue. It is simply unfathomable how someone could with such little ability in writing has a job. If this is their first piece of writing please do the world a favour and just stop. Pick a new career.

Feel sorry for Keanu, one of the nicest blokes in Hollywood having now tarnished his career with such a film.

For the pure entertainment factor and the amount of cringe from the outset this film is simply fantastic. It's too difficult put into words the emotional journey a viewer embarks on when watching. One scene you are laughing so hard at how terrible the writing and plot is to then be simply left awestruck at the lack conviction in the portrayal of characters by the actors. Even they realise this film is a joke and are only in it for a notch on their CV 's.

For an avid cringe enthusiast such as oneself highly, highly recommend. If there were ever to be an Academy Award for film cringe this has to be in the hall of fame.

Simply the Best.

I won't add tons to existing reviews but to say that it has redeeming moments. The young actors are often engaging, and the movie has a refreshing lack of cynicism. I suspect this might be something people dissect in later years when these folks have advanced further in their careers. Other reviewers have sneered that it seems like a student film, and in some ways it does...perhaps intentionally, given the proclivities of the protanganist.

One odd thing is that I don't think anyone proofed the credits—I think the film makers (and IMDb) have the two moms reversed.

SPF-18 is a bad movie but not bad in the same way Fast and the Furious; Geostorm or any other mainstream movie is bad, it's bad almost exclusively because making movies is hard and this is the first movie Alex Israel has made.

In fact, I almost feel empathetic toward Alex Israel, the film now hitting Netflix is going to result in a barrage of negative reviews and some really amazing negative reviews like the one above mine. We might even see this movie join the ranks of "Troll 2" or any other "so bad it's good movie." Yet, when I watched this movie it had a strangely positive effect on me. I think this is because I watched SPF-18 while taking a break editing my own short movie. In fact, it was exactly after I had finished the first cut of my movie and felt nauseous after seeing how unwatchable it was. Taking a break watching a "nice" movie - I thought - might make it easier to edit and distract me from the the reality of what I had made. Instead what I watched was SPF-18.

During the movie there was a lot going on in my brain, the first scene played with the main character doing a type of Vlog or whatever and I thought the movie was shaping up to be interesting. Then the film proper started. I noticed the bad acting first, as it's the most noticeable, and to begin with I considered stopping the movie - but instead I continued watching it. As the movie played, I started just feeling bad for Alex Israel. I thought of what went into making my own movie; how hard it was trying to find good actors; how long it took to film; how high the hopes we had going in were and how mediocre and quite frankly unwatchable the results were. All this while watching the cringe delivery of lines frankensteined together with drone footage made me imagine Alex Israel on set trying to explain each character's motivation in the hot sun, when probably he was unsure himself; the millions of takes it took to get a shot of a Jeep turning off the road that was ultimately for a scene that turned out to be so unnecessary i'm surprised it even came up as an idea. But most of what I was thinking is that Alex Israel knows SPF-18 isn't good, just like I know the movie I'm currently editing isn't good. Not only that, anyone watching the final cut of SPF-18 knows it's not good. The actors, the grip and Pamela Anderson doing her completely necessary cameo - they all know it's bad.

And yet here we are watching this movie on Netflix. This is certainly not what Alex Israel imagined in his brain when thinking of the movie and I can feel that deep deep deep down the movie has some goodness in it. If the script had better dialogue, if the acting was better we might have been watching something like Garden State, instead of what the film now is. But that's not what happened and this is what we are ultimately left to judge the movie by. What we are left with, while probably not what Alex Israel wanted, had a profoundly positive effect on me. As soon as SPF-18 was over I went back to editing feeling invigorated, for one reason alone: However bad my movie was, it wasn't going to be SPF-18 bad. I felt permission to suck. To a further extent, I, like Alex Israel, am going to make tons of bad movies before I make a good one. This is ultimately why making movies or choosing any creative pursuit is hard. Not because it's hard to technically make the film - though that too - but rather because it's hard to make bad things when you know that they are bad during the production of the bad thing. The slow and tortuous dynamic of making something bad and then getting a little bit better and then making something bad again but being a little bit better is how art works. You only get better by sharing it with the world. While there are certainly savants who have made perfect movies on their first try - that is not an accurate picture of how ordinary art is made. David Bayles and Ted Orland highlight this extremely well in their book "Art and Fear." Ordinary art is a skill that you get better at by getting humiliated most of the time. This message of "Art and Fear" and others like it, is hard to remember on it's own and it certainly is easier to remember when you are in between projects and harder to convince yourself of in the process of them. But to me SPF-18 provides the perfect reminder of "Art and Fear", "The War of Art" and others like them. Pressfield puts it best in this single sentence:

"It's better to be in the arena, getting stomped by the bull, than to be up in the stands or out in the parking lot."

SPF-18 is exactly what Pressfield meant by that line. Being in the arena is not pretty, but it's worth it, because eventually; after getting knocked down enough times you will have made something worth making.

I look forward to Alex Israel's next movie because I know that it will be better than this and, perhaps, in a couple years we might be looking back on Israel as a talented director.

In the meantime I'm going to get back to editing my movie and perhaps, in the future sometime, watch SPF-18 and read this review again - when I need reminding of this message and how crucial it is to any creative endeavour.

Watch this movie if you enjoy:

• a teenage girl casually pressuring their friend into losing her virginity
• a protagonist with no personality whatsoever, except that her thing is to creepily film everything and invade other people's privacy
• rejoicing when you think you've finally found the storyline, only to be disappointed when the alleged storyline randomly gets cut off
• a cringy music dude who writes the cringiest songs ever
• the opposite of character development
• one single shot of Keanu Reeves being confused because his discoball seems to have disappeared
• nobody learning anything

I still don't get what this movie was about. It made no sense at all, has no plot whatsoever. Impossible to understand why those popular actors would agree to appear.

I actually don't know what happened in this movie. There was no chemistry between the actors (maybe slight chemistry between Johnny and Camilla) but they did nothing with this. I don't understand how the main actress can just go from one guy to another without any reason or showing any emotional side.

I'm just so confused as to why this is even on Netflix. And why is Keanu Reeves in it ?! Wth.

Basically a bunch of good looking kids spent 2 nights house sitting . One plans to lose her virginity. Loses it pretty quick . We get told Johnny's dad died in surfing accident a million times. Random musician guy rocks up. They swap boyfriends ? I think if they even were ...? There is no explanation to anything. It ends and you're just wondering what even happened the past hour....

The only plus point is the Music which was awesome. Although it didn't really fit well with the scene... and another good point is Noah's in it. That's it.

Don't waste your time.

I randomly found this on Netflix with the description which seemed like a teen romance type film, so I decided to give it a shot. Honestly, I had to fast forward through the lengthy credits in the beginning, although at that point I am thinking to myself, "wow, this must be good, they put credits in the beginning, they must be really proud of the film and it must be at least decent. " WRONG, SO WRONG. You can pretty much tell from the first few minutes this is a dud. It seems incredibly unrealistic, which is really the only theme that really carried throughout the entire movie. I found the characters to all be some what irritating honestly. Also, "Johnny" the character who surfs, I felt was ripped off from the more talented Disney movie Johnny Tsunami. (Much better movie by the way, although that isn't hard to do) the entire story is so incredibly unrealistic it's actually frustrating. As far as Molly Ringwald, Keanu Reeves, and Pam Anderson... I can't believe they even agreed to take part by popping in on this. The ONLY reason I watched it in its entirety is because of the beach views and it was just so unbelievably bad I had to watch to see how much worse it got. It's the equivalent to watching someone do something really stupid they will regret and you simply can not look away due to the sheer disbelief.

Unless you want a laugh later and to agree with all the IMDB reviews of how atrocious this film was, save your time. I think I paid too much for it and it was free with my Netflix subscription.

Am I the only one thinking this has to be parody? Like no one in their right mind would make this and be serious about it.

If you're looking for a physically cringy and mindlessly stupid movie then ypu have hit the jack pot. Personally I really enjoyed it for its meme potential.

Im so confused what was the plot what was the moral of the story. What a waste of time and of keanu reeves, noah centineo, & molly ringwald.

Wow, the reviewers sure trashed this. What were they hoping for? It was a light movie. It didn't promise life-changing insight. It made me smile. Maybe I'm the audience: 55-year-old woman. When a movie is so badly trashed I want to give it a 10 to average in a higher number, but I will give it an honest 7.

The acting was deplorable, story sad (pathetic) & what's with the celeb cameos?? Did they owe the devil their souls or was this based on a dare.

Seriously bad. If not for Noah to look at, this would be burnable. WTF netflix?!
