 Morrow and Depp: The National Lampoons of 80's Sex Comedies Sep 21, 1998
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! Dec 13, 1999
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! Dec 02, 2004
By Vincent Pardo
"Vinman"
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!

THE STARS BEFORE THEY WERE STARS Apr 19, 2001
By Matthew John
This movie is an all time favorite. Me and my brothers watched this movie hundreds of times since it's release in '85. When I first saw Depp in 21 jumpstreet I was like "That's Jack". I've been a Depp fan ever since. The movie itself is hilarious. Everyone remembers titles such as REVENGE OF THE NERDS and PORKY'S but this was and '80's movie that was slept on. Of course Depp turned into a very, very good actor and unlike alot of today's stars his old movies like this one weren't bad. Even Andrew "DICE" Clay is in it before he was "THE DICEMAN".Hector Elizondo is in it as well as the infamous MAESTRO. He's hella funny! If I were you I'd watch it but either way this movie is a family classic! Oh yeah I was only 9 years old when I first saw this. Don't let your kids see this!

 Better than I thought it would be Jun 21, 2008
By Michael Westbrook
I ordered this movie and actually mistook it for "Hot Resort" Same year (1985) and almost the same name with a similar setting. Private Resort was pretty good, had it's moments, and just kept you wondering what was going to happen next. It was one of those mid-80s teen on the beach flicks, so watch it if you don't want drama or horror.
