Product description
Ben and Jack are a couple of guys hanging out at a posh Miami resort hoping to snag one of the wealthy and beautiful women who are staying there. Comic relief is provided by the Maestro, a jewel thief who dresses in drag. When he's not busy hopping in and out of bed, Jack manages to get Ben into plenty of trouble.

Bikinis, breasts, and Johnny Depp's bare bottom are the selling points of archetypal teen sex comedy Private Resort. The plot has the purity of haiku: Two horny young men (Depp, Pirates of the Caribbean, Edward Scissorhands, and Rob Morrow, Northern Exposure, in his film debut) doggedly pursue scantily-clad women at a tropical vacation spot. Standing in their way are a bitter hotel detective and a jewel thief known as the Maestro (Hector Elizondo, Pretty Woman)--though his claim of mastery seems an overstatement; anyone expecting To Catch a Thief or The Thomas Crown Affair-style suavity will be sadly disappointed. Babes are ogled; breasts are exposed; bald middle-aged men are mocked as buffoons; and both Depp and Morrow strip naked, revealing pale posteriors--and, in Depp's case, a scrawny physique that would mortify any contemporary teen star. While this can't be called one of Depp's more nuanced performances, his trademark bemused nonchalance is already present in larval form. Ironically, given Depp's later reputation for soulfulness, Morrow is the sincere one who yearns for a sweet young waitress, while Depp is the cad who runs after anything with breasts (he refers to quaaludes as "the love drug" and "falls in love" with a girl who bends over in front of him in an aerobics class). Also featuring Andrew "Dice" Clay (The Adventures of Ford Fairlane) and Leslie Easterbrook (beloved from the Police Academy series). Discriminating cineastes will be happy to hear that Private Resort has been letterboxed, so the full frame of every shot can be fully appreciated. --Bret Fetzer

Morrow and Depp: The National Lampoons of 80's Sex Comedies
What more can you say about PRIVATE RESORT than SEX?!?!? The opening scene contains more nudity than a topless strip club! Wanna know what the plot is? Well, after watching the first 5 miutes of the film, I figured it out. Ben (pre-Northern Exposure Rob Morrow) and Jack (then unknown Johnny Depp) spend a summer at a private beach resort, and they have only one thing on their minds: sex! Why wouldn't they? There's only about 50 half-naked women running around and approximately 7 men! Plenty of girls to go around! But of course Ben the nerd has his heart set on finding his one true love. Jack the player just wants to get laid. But what 80's teen movie would be complete without these two guys stripping down as well?!? Were you disappointed that Edward Scissorhands didn't show a little skin? Well get ready for "In the Buff" Johnny. And is that nudie patootie over there Dr. Joel Fleischmen from "Northern Exposure"? Yep. I'll bet Rob's wishing he NEVER made this movie. I guess that's why he's taken on more serious roles lately, like in LAST DANCE and THE DAY LINCOLN WAS SHOT. Mr. Morrow has more nude scenes than Johnny! Luckily Rob looks just as good as Johnny does in this movie. Yep, Rob runs in his birthday suit through the hallways of a very prestigious hotel, and runs into some trouble with a jewel thief trying to get his hands on a precious diamond necklace belonging to one of the guests staying at the hotel. In fact, Morrow outshines Depp in his movie debut. If you want classic Morrow and naked Depp, you'll find it on PRIVATE RESORT!!! END

This one's a hoot! Check it out!
I have to say, at the very beginning I did not expect much from this movie. Every scene in it reminded me of similar scenes from earlier comedies of the same type. Nonetheless, as I watched, I found myself smiling, then chuckling, then laughing, and finally howling. Toward the end I was on the floor laughing so hard I couldn't breathe. There is no originality in this film, but there is plenty of humor. Lots of nudity, too, in case that matters. If you like to laugh and are not offended by naked girls, this one is a hoot. Check it out.

Classic great comedy for the teens and adults!
Ahhhh...This is what everyone who grew up in the 80's would say. A very funny real cute and yet sort of romantic type of movie. This is when Johnny Depp was still new in the movie industry. I think even Johnny himself would love to see this movie again released on DVD. I think each and every one of us older now generation reminisce the earlier days when we were all still teens trying to pick up or meet some girls at the beach. If some of the ladies out there young and older are still in love with JD they would definitely fall inlove with this movie. This is a Classic! Sony! Get this out on DVD! I would definitely buy it!
