Private Resort description Bikinis, breasts, and Johnny Depp's bare bottom are the selling points of archetypal teen sex comedy Private Resort. The plot has the purity of haiku: Two horny young men (Depp, Pirates of the Caribbean, Edward Scissorhands, and Rob Morrow, Northern Exposure, in his film debut) doggedly pursue scantily-clad women at a tropical vacation spot. Standing in their way are a bitter hotel detective and a jewel thief known as the Maestro (Hector Elizondo, Pretty Woman)--though his claim of mastery seems an overstatement; anyone expecting To Catch a Thief or The Thomas Crown Affair-style suavity will be sadly disappointed. Babes are ogled; breasts are exposed; bald middle-aged men are mocked as buffoons; and both Depp and Morrow strip naked, revealing pale posteriors--and, in Depp's case, a scrawny physique that would mortify any contemporary teen star. While this can't be called one of Depp's more nuanced performances, his trademark bemused nonchalance is already present in larval form. Ironically, given Depp's later reputation for soulfulness, Morrow is the sincere one who yearns for a sweet young waitress, while Depp is the cad who runs after anything with breasts (he refers to quaaludes as "the love drug" and "falls in love" with a girl who bends over in front of him in an aerobics class). Also featuring Andrew "Dice" Clay (The Adventures of Ford Fairlane) and Leslie Easterbrook (beloved from the Police Academy series). Discriminating cineastes will be happy to hear that Private Resort has been letterboxed, so the full frame of every shot can be fully appreciated. --Bret Fetzer |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Amusing teen age sex farce |
| The 21 year old Johnny Depp appears here as one of two teens on the make at a Florida resort hotel - their only wish is to get laid. Complications ensue. Nothing new here - situations evolve out of classic farce and slapstick encounters. Both Rob Morrow and Depp expose their butts in a few sequences and there are more exposed women's breasts than in any other commercially released film I've seen. There is the inept jewel thief, the lecherous waiter with designs on the sweet young waitress and a dotty matron.
Morrow manages to be obnoxious and Depp merely cute. He isn't called upon to create a character here - it was after all his first leading film role and only his second film appearance. There are a few continuity errors probably due to editing decisions but only one stands out (Depp manages to bed his girl but we don't see anything of the encounter the night before, only waking up the morning after). Tony Azito and Hector Aleandro are amusing as the frustrated security director and the jewel thief, but the film is stolen by Dody Goodman as the dotty matron. Watching her throw herself at a barber in the bushes after accidentally downing a handful of quualudes and attempting to thwart the theft of her diamond with a number of karate moves bring the only real laughs in the film. To summarize, an amusing teen age sex farce with lots of exposed skin, but nothing more. |
