Bayside school - Avventura hawaiana

I'm currently showing my kids Saved by the Bell, and we finally arrived at Saved by the Bell: Hawaiian Style. One of the most striking differences between this made-for-TV movie and the regular TV series is the lack of studio audience sound effects. The jokes all land a little flatter without the laugh track cushion. Yes, the plot of this movie is ridiculous, but no more so than most of the regular episodes. And the cast seems to be having a good time vacationing in Oahu while doing some occasional filming. Saved by the Bell: Hawaiian Style is not a great movie, but it's a good enough extended episode.

Watching Saved by the Bell: Hawaiian Style again after all these years made me instantly question my sanity as a teenager. Did I actually like this crap back then? I know this was never my favorite thing that they put out for Saved by the Bell, but I didn't remember it being this awful. For starters, Screech is at his all-time most obnoxious in this movie. He's acting like a strange space alien the entire time, and it made me question if he ever acted like a human being on the show. Almost every other character is at least a caricature of a normal person, but that didn't make them much more enjoyable to watch. Even when they are trying to do something nice, they have to accomplish it in the most lazy and pathetic way possible. Their success in this film comes through nothing more than lies and downright criminal activity, which I suppose is Zack Morris's modus operandi, but now that I'm an adult all I can see is that he is in the wrong. It's kind of a shame to watch poor Dean Jones being dragged down with this ship.

I know that production for a TV movie is different from a theatrical motion picture, but the shoddy quality of this one is inexcusable. It's filmed like an extended episode of the TV show, so the shots of Hawaii almost all appear to be stock footage, and the rest looks only marginally better than a home movie. The actors even have the same cadence and rhythm that they used in episodes of the show, so they pause after all the lame humor for a laugh track and it is extremely awkward since no one is going to even offer a chuckle at this nonsense. The music is a blend of tracks used in the TV show, and there are a few awful original songs they throw in just to make this "special." The plot is not an engaging one, and is 100% predictable. The romance for Zack is painful to watch, and some of the cliche-filled lines that come out of their mouths were embarrassing. At this point I don't trust my memory of Saved by the Bell, but I will say when I was younger I thought the season where they spent the summer working on the beach was much better than this, so perhaps this was an all-time low. But I won't be rushing to watch any more of this nonsense to find out.

This movie is clearly the best movie in the history of the world. If I had to name my top 10 movies in the history of the world, it would be:

1. Saved By The Bell: Hawaiian Style 2. Saved By The Bell: The Original 3. Saved By The Bell: Late to Class 4. Saved By The Bell: Knocked Out of the Ring and Landed on my Head 5. Saved By The Bell: The Replacement Bell for the One that Broke 6. Saved By The Bell: Philadelphia Style 7. Saved By The Bell: Screetch Attacks 8. Saved By The Bell: Zach Attacks 9. Saved By The Bell: Screetch Runs into the Bell 10. Saved By The Bell: When Screetch is so Drunk, He has to go to Taco Bell to Cure His Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis Disease.

And if you had to throw in a #11, it would be The Godfater.

Ok Ok ...So Saved by the bell is coney!So what it's supposed to be! and the movie well ..It doesn't get much worse than this folks:) Screech gets kidnapped ,kelly's grandfather hotel is shutting down..and how ironic that Mr.B is there is somewhat help save the day! But all in all the movie is GREAT!Love it i taped it when I was 11 years old and no doubt watched it often !,I recently just found a tape of old saved by the bell reruns,great stuff!!!!

Saved By The Bell: Hawaiian Style is a great Saved By The Bell special. Zach, Slater, Screech, Kelly, Jessie and Lisa are obviously all in Hawaii here, up to there usual adventures. The gang are all staying at Kelly's grandpas little hotel for the summer. All they want to do obviously is have fun, but things don't go according to plan, when they realise that Mr. Belding, there high-school principle is there and not only that, but they've decided to help Kelly's grandpa in making his hotel more popular as his rival Mr. Worthington plans to take over the hotel and make it into an apartment complex. It wouldn't be Saved By The Bell, without romances and in Hawaii, Zach meets the love of his life, Andrea who has a daughter and Kelly meets a nice guy, who ends up turning out to be not as nice as she thought he was, as he's helping Mr. Worthington to close down her grandpas hotel. Along with this, Screech gets kidnapped by a Pupuku group, who think Screech is there leader. It's going to be an interesting summer for all of them.

Saved By The Bell: Hawiian Style features the usual cast of, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Mario López, Dustin Diamond, Tiffani-Amber Thiessen, Elizabeth Berkley, Lark Voorhies and Dennis Haskins. With the addition of the brilliant Rena Sofer here. Everyone here gives great performances.

Saved By The Bell: Hawiian Style is like any of the Saved By The Bell Shows/Special. It's really good and if you're of a fan of Saved By The Bell, then you're bound to enjoy this.
