Synopsis
Private Resort (1985) is an American teen comedy you can watch online on iFILM. College buddies Ben and Jack descend on a Miami luxury resort for a weekend of nothing but sun and bad decisions. Director George Bowers keeps things light and brisk — at 82 minutes, the film barely pauses between one mishap and the next.
A smooth-talking jewel thief is working the hotel, and a relentless house detective is working the boys. Rob Morrow stars alongside a very young Johnny Depp — this came out a year before A Nightmare on Elm Street and well before anyone knew who he was. Hector Elizondo and Andrew Dice Clay round out the chaos in supporting roles.
The film is exactly what it promises: a breezy, goofy 80s beach comedy that runs on slapstick and sunscreen. Its main draw today is the chance to watch Depp at 21, already magnetic, still completely anonymous. Stream Private Resort (1985) online on iFILM.
