If you're into a raunchy movie from 2000, that shows occasional boobs, but many tikis, sit back and watch that stupid "Psycho Beach Party" on HBO2. It's just a retro-beach-thriller-tounge-in-cheek flick with purposely bad surfing effects to mimic those of the 60's. Raunchy? Absolutely! Would I name my kid "Chicklet?" Perhaps...depending on what I was drinking at the time. But almost worth watching just to see the props. Remember, I said ALMOST. -C. Psycho Beach Party RULES! It's one of those bad-on-purpose movies that you have to be in a certain mood for, but it makes good viewing when you come home after too many Zombies and need to sober up before going to bed... tons and tons of Tikis! Also, I saw Catch Me If You Can yesterday, and there is an ALMOST Tiki scene in the movie - a motel has a palm-trees-and-bamboo theme, a little bar with an almost-Tiki-but-not-quite-close-enough decor... "missed it by that much"... Pretty good flick tho - the costume and set designers NAILED the mid-60's. Excellent job. Tons of cool awesome mid-60's (non Tiki) stuff to ogle at... the sets, the props, the cars, the clothes, and the dames all look amazing. The movie is entertaining, but hardly high art. Not that Psycho Beach party is exactly Bergman, Kurosawa, or Felinni either!
