Great Summer Movie

If you can't make it to the beach this summer - check out the Shag. Escapism at it's all time best July 8, 2008

Fun movie

This item arrived quickly and in good condition. This is a good-time movie. The music (on the VHS version) is great. June 16, 2008

Love it!

I'm in the middle of replacing my VHS tapes with DVD's and had to replace this one right away. My daughter and I love watching these older movies and I was excited to see the great price for this one. June 14, 2008

Careful!

Be careful to get the correct version (the one w/ the characters riding in a car) of the VCR tape so that you get the period music by the original artists. The DVD doesn't have the original artists, either. Also be careful whom you buy from. The copy of the version that I did want (bought separately) had huge amounts of static, & the seller was very rude about it.
At the end, the song that is sung is the old (pre-integration) song of Spartanburg High School. My late sister was killed during her senior year ('66, she died in a car wreck in Nov. of '65)& I hadn't heard that song since. I cried. It was a different song by the time that I was there, '78. Everyone who went to SHS before '70 should have this movie, if only for that.
I enjoyed it very much, especially being as a bit of my hometown of Spartanburg was in it, & of course, we all went to Myrtle Beach in my time as well. You might be interested to know that The Pavillion, featured in the movie, was torn down a few years ago. The land remains vacant. It was well maintained (but the city wanted to have beach-front condos made), but the deal fell through. I will never go there again because of that.
The plot was very true-to-life of the era. Although I was only 4 when the movie was supposed to have taken place, my sister's friends have verified the details for me.
It was also great to see those actors at that point in their careers.
If you love east coast beach music, get it for that alone, but the story was also good. A movie that I'm delighted was made. April 27, 2008

feel good movie

Shag This movie is a favorite of mine. It is a feel good movie. Everytime I watch it I smile through the whole film. I was so happy that I found it on DVD and was able to purchase it. April 24, 2008
