Saved by the Bell: Hawaiian Style

This movie was kinda sweet. I enjoyed this movie because I am a Saved by the Bell fan, but...I've never seen so many stereotypes of Hawaii in my life. Besides changing the geography of the island and making locals seem like dorks, there were hardly any locals in the movie. Majority of the cast were white and I did not see a hint of real Hawaiian culture. It was just cheesy.

Besides the cheese though, I did like the antics of the gang. Their adventures were quite entertaining. This is a good movie if you just want mindless fun and do not actually expect to see or learn anything about Hawaii.

It's one of the best movies I've ever seen.

I'm currently showing my kids Saved by the Bell, and we finally arrived at Saved by the Bell: Hawaiian Style. One of the most striking differences between this made-for-TV movie and the regular TV series is the lack of studio audience sound effects. The jokes all land a little flatter without the laugh track cushion. Yes, the plot of this movie is ridiculous, but no more so than most of the regular episodes. And the cast seems to be having a good time vacationing in Oahu while doing some occasional filming. Saved by the Bell: Hawaiian Style is not a great movie, but it's a good enough extended episode.

Saved by the Bell: Hawaiian Style was a TV film that was mainly shot due to the show's popularity. Who can blame the writers? I mean you know that all the fans would go crazy over watching this film, we have the whole gang here on the vacation in Hawaii. Now, there are a few things that irritate me quite a bit about this film, Zack once again just falls in love so easily with a girl, so it makes for a lame love story. The acting as usual is pretty bad, the jokes from the series are being over used, and the whole cast just didn't look comfortable together like they did on the show. The story itself is just awkward and too scooby doo.

Zack, Slater, Screech, Kelly, Jesse, and Lisa come to Hawaii for vacation and stay with Kelly's grandfather at his Hawaiian hotel, The Hidaway. But they quickly learn that Mr. Worthington is trying to buy out Kelly's grandfather to expand his hotel chain. It's not too difficult since her grandfather's hotel isn't getting any business. But Mr. Belding is also on vacation, big coincidence, huh? He's in Hawaii with a bunch of principals and brings his guests over to the Hidaway when the gang tricks them into going. In the mean time, Screech is also the God of a tribe who is supposed to save their land, and they just might when the gang finds out some evil secrets about Kelly's grandfather's lawyer.

Saved by the Bell: Hawaiian Style is a cute film, but it wasn't in any way as good as the series. Like I said, the little stories within the film were just typical and nothing special. The love stories between Zack and Jennifer and Kelly and Brian were just too ridicules and actually made me laugh more than say "aww". For fans of the series, I know they'll wanna check out, please feel free, but I was never a big fan of this film. I just could have survived without another Scooby Doo adventure of the gang, but I guess just a regular normal vacation would've been a boring film.

4/10

This movie is clearly the best movie in the history of the world. If I had to name my top 10 movies in the history of the world, it would be:

1. Saved By The Bell: Hawaiian Style 2. Saved By The Bell: The Original 3. Saved By The Bell: Late to Class 4. Saved By The Bell: Knocked Out of the Ring and Landed on my Head 5. Saved By The Bell: The Replacement Bell for the One that Broke 6. Saved By The Bell: Philadelphia Style 7. Saved By The Bell: Screetch Attacks 8. Saved By The Bell: Zach Attacks 9. Saved By The Bell: Screetch Runs into the Bell 10. Saved By The Bell: When Screetch is so Drunk, He has to go to Taco Bell to Cure His Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis Disease.

And if you had to throw in a #11, it would be The Godfater.
