Summer Job

I recently revisited Summer Job (1989) on Tubi. The storyline follows a group of college kids assigned to a summer job taking care of a pool area at a resort. Each of them has different motives, from wanting to be cool, to scoring chicks, and simply having a good time. Their efforts are overseen by a young lady tasked with keeping them in line.

Directed by Paul Madden (Medium Rare), the film stars Sherrie Rose (Unlawful Entry), Jim Pelish (Runaway Dreams), Amy Lynn Baxter (Karate Warrior 2), James Summer, Karen-Eileen Gordon (Legally Blonde 2), and Cari Mayor (Lauderdale).

As a childhood favorite of mine, I must have watched "Summer Job" a hundred times on HBO growing up. It captures the classic 80s vibe from the opening song onward. The humor, content, premise, and circumstances evoke the spirit of films like "Police Academy" and "Porky's." The attractive cast members provide the expected dashes of topless nudity, adding to the film's appeal. While the characters are easy to root for and the storyline is straightforward, the direction and conclusion is predictable.

In conclusion, Summer Job may not be groundbreaking, but it's worth your time if you have the appropriate expectations. I'd give it a 4/10 and recommend seeing it once.
