“Back to the Beach ★½ 1987 (PG).
Frankie and Annette return to the beach as self-parodying,
middle-aged parents with rebellious kids, and the usual run of
sun-bleached, lover's tiff comedy ensues. Plenty of songs and guest
appearances from television past. Tries to bring back that surf, sun,
and sand feel of the orignal "Beach Party" movies, but
fails. ♫Absolute Perfection; California Sun; Catch a Ride; Jamaica
