Brooklyn teenager Jeffrey Willis, thoroughly unhappy with his modest homestead, embraces the other-world aspects of his summer job at the posh Flamingo Club. He spurns his father in favor of the patronage of smooth-talking Phil Brody and is seduced by the ample bikini charms of club member Carla Samson. But thanks to a couple of late-summer hard lessons, the teen eventually realizes that family should always come first.
Editor's Verdict
"The movie's setting is clearly defined as summer, focused on a summer job at a beach club. The only identified Christmas element is its theatrical release date, which has no bearing on the narrative content. All substantive criteria (Setting, Plot, Themes, Iconography, Resolution) score 'None' or 'Weak'."
