Summary: I FOUND THIS MOVIE A LITTLE HILLARIOUS AT TIMES
Review: AN OVERWEIGHT YOUNG GUY [JERMAINE HOPKINS] BORROWS HIS DAD'S MERCEDES BENZ AND HE HITS THE BEACH WITH HIS BEST FRIEND [BRIAN HOOKS]. THIS MOVIE WAS OK. I DON'T SEE TOO MUCH OF ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. IT WAS QUITE FUNNY AT TIMES. HAS PLENTY OF NUDITY AND PROFANITY, IF YOU'RE WONDERING. THIS IS A FUN MOVIE TO WATCH FOR THOSE WHO'RE NOT SO SERIOUS MINDED.

Summary: I want the 90 minutes of my life back. Stunningly bad movie
Review: I really, really wanted to like Phat Beach. The premise of an African-American beach movie had a lot of promise. What could have been an original, unique and entertaining movie was done in by a lack of effort. I was expecting a campy hip-hop version of "Beach Blanket Bingo" but instead wound up watching an awful unfunny film that didn't know what it was about. Was it a beach movie or a ghetto comedy? I really don't care. I want the 90 minutes of my life back that his film stole.

Phat Beach had its potential undermined by poor production values, horrible acting, and a script that seemed t be written by a chimp. The plot of the movie went in more directions than an ADD kid. I couldn't like any of the characters because I never got know any of them. It seemed everyone in this movie had a personality that was as deep as a Dixie cup. I'm still figuring out who is the main character, Benny or Terrell? Why do they want to go to the beach? Supposedly to sell sunglasses, but they never do that. Then there's a volleyball contest, he runs into his parents wins the contest and gets the girl. The End. However, that's the same as the beginning, a really bad rap video that features none of the actors in the film. And I'm still figuring out why the white guy was Terrell's rival and not Benny's.

Don't get me wrong I really like bad movies, the cheesier the better. The cheesily Krafted flicks made by the defunct Cannon Group and the late Samuel Z. Arkoff (American Ninja, Ninja III, Dixie Dynamite, Bleach Blanket Bingo and How to stuff a Wild Bikini) try hard to entertain and overcome their poor production values with a great script, strong effort by the actors and the director. The enthusiasm and energy you feel from everyone in the film makes you overlook the obstacle of a low budget and like the film. However Phat Beach feels so [poorly made] that I felt like I was watching somebody's home videos. The lethargic performances of the actors are so bad that it reminds me of a high school play. It seems no one tried to make this film work. It's a shame too, because this could have been a great film if the production team had a good script and the actors camped it up. All I can say is: Don't buy it. Don't rent it. Don't borrow it from the library. Don't even watch it on TV. You will wish you cleaned the gutters for 90 minutes rather than watch this film.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: FUNNY.
Review: I think "Phat Beach" is low budget but very funny. My wife and I cry watching this movie. Can't wait to get it added to my collection on DVD.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Not the best in black movies
Review: I was first enticed to watch this movies because the trailers for the movie contained a lot of women in bikinis. This is not a movie worth buying. The acting is not that bad, but the writing is not good. The only thing that would have improved this movie would have been a lot of nudity but the director and producer had the dignity not to do that.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great great movie
Review: phat beach is a coming of age story that will enlighten 6 and 60 year old's alike. this was most defently the movie that defined the 90's Brian Hooks was undoubtaly snubbed by the oscar commitie for best supporting actor and coolieo was brilliant, we already knew he was the worlds greatist rapper but to be such a suppieror actor its almost unfair for one man to posses that much tallent. if you never watch phat beach then you would be doing yourself a grave injustice. the acting and writing of this film rival such classics as citizen cane and gremlins.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Now some please tell me...
Review: Someone please tell me why they made this movie. I saw it only becasue I thought it had John Wayne in it. Its just a bunch of people running around acting like they own the place. Do they own it? They never said that they did or didn't. My guess is that they do, i meant why would they do all this if they didn't. Who owns what what do I am what am I talking about who am I.

Summary: PHAT!
Review: This film is a cult classic. The young cast makes for a fresh beach comedy. The white wanna be "Mikey Z" stands out and is very funny. This film delivers more than just the mail. It will make you laugh time and time again. The running feud between "Mikey Z" and the rest of the cast was hysterical.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: It's not the best, but worth a look, and the girls are hot
Review: This is not on my list of favorite movies, but it is at least enjoyable. And the actor who plays Benny has talent. Where is he now, when we're seeing the same faces over and over in movies?

For me, though, the main thing here was the girls. Or one girl in particular. Claudia Kaleem was mucho calliente as the girl of Benny's dreams, but she had nothing on sexy porn star Devin Deray, who made a cameo as a stripper with enormous breasts. If you like 'em big, keep your eyes open for this scene!
