Malibu Hot Summer (1981)

Blah!! I love Troma. Terror Firmer is my favorite movie of all time. I love low budget movies. But this is too horrible for words. I won’t call it the worst movie of all time for 2 reasons: 1. I love Troma 2. I’m sure at one point I’ve seen worse

But as far as I can remember, this is the worst movie I’ve ever seen. I wanted to like it very badly too. But this movie has it all. The worst acting EVER (the actors have trouble pronouncing words and slur and speak monotonously and slow), horribly annoying as hell music, absolutely no plot (watch the interview with the director on the dvd, he even admits to this), pointless nudity (nothing wrong with nudity, but these girls are ugly and why does the asian chick walk around her house naked for no reason?), completely unbelievable everything (people fall in love with people they’ve known for 2 minutes FOR NO REASON, people laugh hysterically FOR NO REASON, when people meet, there is absolutely no character introduction), and so much more I could complain about. DON’T EVER watch this movie!!!! I had to force myself to watch the whole thing, and even then I fast forwarded through 2 sex scenes (they were slow and boring as hell), all the random scenes where the music just plays and it shows scenes that it already showed, and like any crap scene that bored the hell out of me too much to bear. Everyone who says that Kevin Costner’s acting was good is wrong too. He has the BEST acting in the movie (actually no there were a few characters that had better acting, but they had like 2 line parts), but his acting was equivalent to Adam Sandler. There were 2 scenes that could have been funny, had they been acted better and been in different films (the scene with the principal talking about pregnancies, and the ufo scene thing), but if you’re going to have these entirely silly scenes it needs to be in an actual silly movie, not a crappy drama disguised as a comedy. There was one line that actually made me laugh, and that was when the girl says “Damn a**holes” and the guy looks at her and says “Watch your language b*tch”. It’s not an original idea, it was just funny because the scene was very serious and boring and I just cracked a smile. It wasn’t hilarious or anything though. I also enjoyed the midget’s character, he wasn’t that funny, he just added a LITTLE bit to the movie. But that’s about 2 minutes of decent movie, so don’t waste your time.
