You have to like these sort of goofy American teen surf comedies to get anything from these. It they’re good examples of both. Ski Party is the more mainstream of the two. It’s basically Some Like It Hot on Skies. They even name check that film as it’s so blatant. Two guys dress as girls so they can get closer to an all-girl ski school in Idaho. It’s very tame with songs, innocent pranks and speeded up footage. It’s not even all that dated, the girls have decent characters and aren’t just there as eye candy - there is dancing in bikinis but the guys are in trunks, too, so it’s fairly equal. Although it’s about guys trying to get with girls, the most they can hope for is a kiss as, by admission, even they don’t know what happens next so it’s no more than a PG. James Brown randomly appears and sings I Got You (I Feel Good) and it has the debut of of Lesley Gore’s hit Sunshine, Lollipops, and Rainbows.

American International "King of B Movies" actually put out some really good low budget movies and some big named stars got their start with A I. Lucille Ball was the queen of B movies before TV made her a household name and many of the old 1950's classic B/W Sci Fi movies were produced by American International. So to describe Muscle Beach Party & Ski Party the plots are lame but you already know they will be with Annette Funicello & Frankie Avalon in starring roles. Typical "handsome Boys chasing pretty Girls" and its lots of fun. Great scenery along the California Coast and the Mountains around Reno. An extra bonus guest appearances by Lesley Gore, James Brown Little Steve Wonder, Dick Dale & The Daletones singing their latest hits of that era. Its a trip back in time to the early 1960's and you'll enjoy every minute of it. You get two great movies for one price, it could not get better than that.Read full review
Great movie from the 60's. This generation should see how young people had fun back in the day.

This was a movie I watched as a kid in the mid sixties. I like the the beach party movies. They remind me of better times.
