(DVD, Disney)
Typical Disney slapstick from the early 70s, with many of the same cast members from the Dexter Riley series. An innocent group of teenagers hangs out on the beach near LA. As graduation approaches, they worry if they will stay together in college. Kurt Russell and Barbara Rush are the young couple, but her dad, Bob Crane, doesn't approve of their beach bum lifestyle. He cooks up a fake scholarship and gets her to move away to San Francisco, with unintended consequences. It's a dated but interesting criticism of the California lifestyle, even if stereotyped, and much better than reviewers would lead you to believe.
