I do think “You take your car to work, I’ll take my board” works pretty well. Fun fact: At the end of my senior year of high school, I signed some of my friends’ yearbooks with the quote “I’m going surfing ’cause I don’t like your face.” (I have never, in fact, been surfing. I was really, really funny as an 18 year old.) That album was also my self-declared mascot album for my first car, a Honda Civic which was the approximately color of Weezer’s blue. “Surf Wax America” was the first song I listened to in it. Loved that car. Wrecked it on 95 a couple years later. I’m rambling.

Yeah, neat looking film, wish it had much of anything beyond that.

Haha. I probably owe Barbie another shot when I’m in a vibes mood! I guess I love the color and energy of beach movies — maybe that would make the difference.

Yep, RIP Mr. McMahon 😭

Sorry you didn’t like it anymore than I did, though.

Imagine my delight on discovering that review actually included the suggestion that BARBIE could take lessons from a Beach movie! (-;

On a lighter note, I remain deeply amused by your abiding love of Beach Movies: clearly the only thing keeping the BARBIE movie from being your favourite thing is a tragic shortfall of Beach focus.
