Bikini a Go Go (2004)

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

Best movie of this year hands down!

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

A brilliant and masterful film superbly crafted by stunningly brilliant director Fred Olen Ray. The cinematography will leave all but the most jaded film buffs breathless at every turn. The actors turn in performances that are surprisingly reminiscent of Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep in terms of both range and depth of character development. The several intricate plot twists develop along the lines of a dialectic between modern anarcho-nihilism and traditional teleology, culminating in a final scene that moved me like nothing since "Requiem for a Dream." Nah, just kidding. It's pretty much porn. Naming the main characters (?) Brad and Janet, no doubt after the starring roles of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," is a sort of a nice touch... I guess...But yeah, it's porn.

Here's a little nugget of joy from Fred Olen Ray, the man behind the bikini movie resurgence. The list is quite impressive-- "Bikini Cavegirl", "Bikini Chain Gang", "Bikini Roundup", "Genie In A String Bikini", "Bikini Escort Company", "Bikini Airways," and this addition to the collection, "Bikini A-Go-Go."We begin with Brad (Eric Warren) and Janet (Beverly Lynne), a couple that dresses in clothing straight out of the late 1950's--or maybe the early 1960's. Brad works at Bikini-A-Go-Go, a boutique that specializes in--well, bikinis. The two girls who work there, Cheryl (Cailey Taylor) and Karen (Stacy Burke) are hot, yet relatively brainless blondes who are there to look good and not much else. Meanwhile, Janet works at an office, and her boss is the obnoxious Mr. Rogers (Danny Pape), who's constantly trying to get into her pants. Janet's just not that kind of girl, mister! Well, at least not yet.The antagonist of the story, Darvella (Nikki Fritz) has lost her magic tiki necklace. This necklace basically turns the wearer into a nymphomaniac.....which is why it's bad news when Brad gives Janet the necklace as an anniversary present. Don't blame him, he didn't know it was magical; he found it at the bottom of a box of Hawaiian shirts!Like clockwork, Janet begins dressing sexier, and seems to get horny for no apparent reason. She begins exploring every dormant corner of her sexuality. First, it's a masturbation session while watching some porn on TV. Then, it's a quickie on the office desk with Mr. Rogers. Oh yeah, Janet can get down when she wants to.Meanwhile, Darvella is on the hunt for her necklace. So, she sends her personal sex toy/muscleman Vargas (John Swipe) to look for it...but not before he takes Cheryl to the back of the store and gives her some "servicing."This movie starts silly, stays silly, and ends even sillier. From the vintage wardrobe of Janet and Brad, to the "fatherly advice"-style narration from Jay Richardson, to the ending sequence that serves as an epilogue of sorts, this film is full of hilarity. Some of it was good, but some of it was pretty bad.Let's talk about those sex scenes. It makes sense that the blondes--Cailey Taylor and Stacy Burke--have the best sex scenes. First with each other, then Cailey's scene in the stockroom of the store, then the big threeway with Beverly Lynne at the end. Beverly had a nice scene in the office, too. I wasn't a big fan of Nikki Fritz's first scene with Vargas--it didn't look like she was into it all that much and it dragged on a little too long.I probably wouldn't consider this movie tapeworthy, but I've got it on tape so you won't have to.Women: B+ (The "Women" grade is fairly high because of Beverly Lynne and those hot blondes, Cailey Taylor and Stacy Burke. Nikki Fritz is getting a little long in the tooth nowadays, but she's still got some looks--she just didn't look all that great in this film.)Sex: C+ (A couple of standout scenes--namely the stockroom scene with John Swipe and Cailey Taylor, and the office sequence. The all-girl three-way wasn't bad. Nikki's sex scenes looked pretty flat.)Story: C (Really, this film could do no better than a C in this category. It had some semblance of a plot--and for that it gets some points. However, the movie as a whole just wasn't that interesting outside of the sex scenes--and even those scenes were simply average. Maybe Fred wrote this film after all those other bikini movies and had used up the good material already.)Overall: C+ (Slightly better than average. The attractive women save this film to an extent. This is a typical Fred Olen Ray movie, and that means there's a fair share of comedy. However, the jokes that made "Genie In A String Bikini" and "Bikini Roundup" funny just weren't there in this movie.)

Retromedia was firing on all cylinders with this one. This is a great cross between 1950's horror schlock parody and 21st century late night cable soft core. Brad's bikini shop mistakenly receives a tiki necklace that he decides to give to his girlfriend Janet (Beverly Lynne). When she wears the necklace though, she becomes so sex crazed that she has to jump whatever's readily available, be it male, female or herself. The intended recipients of the necklace want it back though because it's crucial to their plans to take over the world. I have no idea how they were planning on doing this though since its only power ever displayed is the one that I mentioned above.There are seven sex scenes. Four are boy/girl, one is girl/girl, one is girl/girl/girl, and one is girl solo. All of them are of the quality that Retromedia usually delivers... good and explicit. In addition to Beverly, the cast includes Stacy Burke, Cailey Taylor, and Nikki Fritz.I recommend this one.

*SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT*I was drifting away from consciousness one night when this movie popped up on cable. I had taken a sleeping pill about a half hour earlier and was starting to feel groggy. I knew if I committed to this movie, I was going to mess up my well laid sleeping plans for the night. Speaking of well laid, one of the first scenes has two blondes having sex in a dressing room. I knew what had to be done. Screw the sleeping pill! -"Bikini a Go Go" is on!A frigid woman gets her hands on an erotic Tiki doll. When she wears it, people have sex. The cast all take a tumble with the Tiki. Nikki Fritz shows up and wants the Tiki doll for her collection. She has Tiki sex and the viewer rejoices."Bikini a Go Go" is a good softcore adventure. Fritz and company wrangle over the Tiki doll to see who can get naked the most times. "Bikini a Go Go" should be seen. It strips down a lot on late night cable. Don't worry if you've taken a sleeping pill or any other substance. Pry your eyes open, drink some coffee and roll with the nympho Tiki love drug.
