It is a great movie if you are a Johnny Depp fan. I got it to complete my collection. September 4, 2008

Better than I thought it would be

I ordered this movie and actually mistook it for "Hot Resort" Same year (1985) and almost the same name with a similar setting. Private Resort was pretty good, had it's moments, and just kept you wondering what was going to happen next. It was one of those mid-80s teen on the beach flicks, so watch it if you don't want drama or horror. June 21, 2008

private resort

One of johnny depp and rob morrows first movies, this is a fun quirky animal house style film but this ones at a beautiful resort.
Basically a fun film about two friends trying to get laid by any woman and they get up to quite abit of mischief to try to acheive this, sit back and relax and enjoy the corny 80's soundtrack that goes along with the film, overall definately worth seeing. June 11, 2008

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. November 12, 2007
