I watched it and thought it was pretty funny... very stupid, but funny. The thing that can sink this type of stupid, slapstick style movie is if it starts going into places where it doesn't belong, Like getting too serious or introducing a different type of humor. "Malibu Crush, sticks to its aesthetics as stupid as they are and never sells itself out. Therefore, I think it works, and is in fact a well-made guy-humor comedy.
The acting from the two leads (James Pratt) and (Billy White) is good and you root for the main characters as they run their scams. I think this movie will only appeal to a very specific audience, but you can say the same thing about a most comedies.
Runtime is 79 minutes and in that time it cracked me up several times.

On behalf of Alpha Phi Alpha at Florida State, this is our go-to movie for drunken weekends. It's basically the movie we watch when we all get stoned and drunk but you can watch it sober and it's still fun. A lot of movies you see you can't watch more than once because the jokes are just not funny after the first time, In Malibu Crush you can watch this movie over and over and still find it funny. The storyline and characters are all pretty stupid and so it's easy to follow and the comedy is a college stoner joke like in Van Wilder or Slackers.
It's made in what looks to be Australia and Santa Monica and the quality of jokes you get are perfect. The best scenes are when the two main characters arrive in Australia, instead of enjoying what look's like paradise there, they instead seem to be on a quest to find hot girls and then forget what they are doing there and argue with each other about what the purpose of their being in Australia actually is. There are some really hot actors in this movie and loads of laughs.

It would be misleading to claim this is a brilliant film (in either regard - as comedy or character study), it's an assured indie picture that finds its footing and achieves a surprising level of comedy throughout its running time.
The movie was a breath of fresh air in many ways, it's one of the best independent comedies I've seen in a long time because it avoids the politics of film making and sticks to just comedy.
Almost all M-rated comedies produced today are PC and unfunny. The PC-rating has become a hindrance to film studios' sensibilities - everything is PG-13, saving the shameless Unrated jokes to be replaced by politically correct safety words with zero humor. The occasional released M-rated comedy, as such, is infrequently modest.
I hope Malibu Crush becomes a cult flick in the years to come. It's deserving of acknowledgment and while we may live in an era saturated with unnecessary politically correct comedy, I finished watching Malibu Crush hoping to see these guys again. And that's a rare feeling these days.

If you can get past the small budget and holes in the plotline you will enjoy this movie.
It's simply a film that will make you laugh using humor about guys chasing insanely hot girls only this time round the majority of the story takes place in the beach setting of Sydney Australia rather than at a college or bachelor party.
It has a decent cast of engaging and quirky characters (although the hot role of Rach Taylor ) should have come back at the end of the film. I think the movie shines best for its main theme involving the two leads chasing girls and who have the funniest interactions between them. There is a lot of jokes in this film and the supporting characters will make you laugh through out as well.
The story outline is more about comedy than being believable so don't expect an Oscar winning film, this movie is an indie comedy and what you want when watching something funny. It will make you laugh.

Malibu Crush is a film that doesn't attempt to be smart. This should be evident from the title. However, the film is good at not trying to be smart and passes a point where it becomes a masterpiece in dumb comedy and keeps you watching.
The wide cast of characters keeps the film's plot fresh and in spite of some ridiculous plot elements the film manages to burst quite a few guts with its utter retardedness. The film's plot actually has a pretty smart setup, "A guy trying to track down his dream girl in a foreign country, but it's the comedy that happens that's why you watch not the story. The movie is luckily not a one-joke film either. The amount of variety makes most comedies seem very bland by comparison.
The film is a brilliant no-brainer, but a nightmare for lovers of intelligent cinema.
