    The cover says it all

    This movie had everything I hoped for, bad acting, cheesy 80s music, big hair, exquisite mullets, rampant nudity and mindless fun. I honestly can't say that there is much of a premise to this movie, a plot would have killed this joyride. To best summarize this Z flick, it's about a bunch of kids from around the country spending the summer working, well, a summer job.

    This group of kids (or in reality, adults in their mid to late 20s) included a cowboy, a spastic geek, a fat guy, a jock, a princess, and a couple of mega hotties with mega big hair. This privileged bunch were picked from over 600 applicants for the job of a lifetime, they should have felt so fortunate. This group learns all about heartbreak, sex, voyeurism, dirty old men, psychotic cooks, you name it, all in one short summer. T&A galore, painfully bad dialogue and a gut wrenching performance by Orkestra, which features members of Electric Light Orchestra all decked out in white suits, oh ya!! I had too much fun watching this schlock fest. My friend said it best when he said this movie has aged like milk, it has the 80s written all over it from the second it starts.

    I can't believe I've already devoted this many words to describe this rubbish but I will say I'm not surprised that all of the members of this movie's cast never developed an acting career, not even George O!! This is the kind of garbage that you used to see on USA Up All Night, so if you're a fan of trashy 80s beach films, then by all means, go see it. Just accept it for what it is.

    80's feel good movie

    I don't understand why people are trashing this movie so bad... I mean meatballs or spaceballs didn't have the best acting but they are great movies....this is a funny feel good type of movie with a lot of young nudity....i love some of the 80 teen movies because it brings back memories of when we were young and acted crazy and this movie def put a smile on mine and my girlfriends faces..so yea please stop trashing the movie....it wasn't made to win Oscars or academy awards...and if you don't like this type of movie then don't watch it....I personally don't watch movies in genres that I know I won't like then write bad reviews bout them....for an 80's screwball comedy with no name actors this movie does the job... Puts smiles on your faces!!

    It's a terrible film--but it has a warm place in my movie-watching heart

    I gave SUMMER JOB a 5 out of 10. An explanation is surely in order, because I happen to think this is a bad movie: a comedy without many jokes, written and directed on a level that would need more work to pass muster in a high-school film studies class.

    Yet a 5 it gets. Why? Because SUMMER JOB was one of the first T&A comedies I ever rented at Blockbuster (I didn't rent all of the other ones, just some of them) and even though it was stupid, it was also harmless, had the "good people" winning out at the end over the jackasses and witches, and didn't have pretensions of being more than it was. In fact, the movie's stupidity made it more, not less, fun.

    This video probably won't be available--to the extent it's really widely available--once video stores start following Blockbuster's lead and replacing VCR tapes with DVDs, so I wanted to say my peace on it before it disappears, for a movie that is bad yet not easy to forget, try as one might.

    its about fun in the sun

    this movie is about having fun in the sun. It's an 80's movie and thats what makes it good. Beautiful women and a few whacky guys wrapped up in crazy shannigans. this is an uncomplicated movie and is great to rent on a friday night int he summer or during those cold nights in the winter. I remember when this movie was shown on tv alot on saturday afternoons. i remember how i would laugh at what happens in it. Seriously, if you want to feel better and laugh, this is the movie to rent. Watch for the beautiful sherrie rose and amy lynn Baxter and chantal. Along witht he rest of the cast. even though theres lots of T And A there is a message to this movie and thats that no matter who you are you're important. As the theme song in this movie says, " You've got the pwoer to do anything you want to." So rent this movie, let yourself go, have a good time.

    This is how guys should live

    This movie is about fun in the sun, chasing girls, and having a good time on your summer vacation. Filmed in a beautiful location, some guys and girls get jobs and then chase each other around and have a great party at the end with some cool music which says, " you've got the power to do anything you want to." This is a movie thats great to rent on a saturday night when you're with your girlfreind and you just want to laugh and have a good time. Relax, turn off your brain, and reward ourself with this excellent movie. one of the great things abut this movie is that you feel like you're free. You can be free with this movie. Think what you want to think. do what you want to do. Relax and try not to take life so seriosuly. Rent this movie and veiw it. You wont regreat that. I'd give this movie an A-plus, 10 out of 10. Enjoy, and relax

      There is a scene where Kathy is sitting in a lounge chair and watches her employees walking down some stairs to go out for the evening. On the table next to her is a can of soda with a straw sticking out. The straw is bent and pointing to the left. In the very next scene it is to the right.
