| Miami HeraldBill CosfordIt would have been better off if the casting were more believable, the acting more honest, the emphasis off the obvious sexuality, and the script destroyed before production began. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThis movie has nothing to do with the song and the 1960 movie whose name it appropriates. It isn't a sequel and isn't a remake and isn't, in fact, much of anything. |
| User ReviewLenette GLove this movie! I was like 11 when it came out... |
| User ReviewAngela Plove this movie i wish it was on DVD took me forever to track this down on vhs. |
| User ReviewBill BThis is a film that I have very fond memories of because it showed in re-runs on our local Fox affiliate before they had enough original programming to fill up a day of shows, and this was on incessantly. Light '80s era fluff about young girls looking for love on spring break, but still has its cutesy buts and holds up for what it is. Rental? |
| User ReviewStefano LFour female college friends take a road trip down to sunny Ft. Lauderdale to have fun, meet boys, and "get shit-faced". A sorry trip for Laurie, the easy one of the group. She gets busted for DUI and strikes out the whole trip in a town full of horny college guys until resigning herself to Jennie's male leftovers. |

| User ReviewAlex KMy Favorite Comedy Film Is 1933's Duck Soup. |
| User ReviewAnnette BThe four college coeds; virginal Jennie (Lisa Hartman), outgoing Carole (Lorna Luft), wealthy and spoiled Southern belle Sandra (Wendy Schaal), and horny Laurie (Lynn-Holly Johnson) travels to Fort Lauderdale for their Easter week of Spring Break and the series of adventures and mis-adventures they encounter, which include the naive Jennie persued by musician drifter Scott and Sandra's snobbish musician cousin Camden. Meanwhile, Carole is seeking a break in her relationship with the jealous Chip who follows her down to Florida. Sandra pursues a romance with local policeman Ernie who arrests her on the first night for being drunk and disorderly, while Laurie just seeks any man she can get her hands on... Well, this is a in a way a classic 80s college film in the wake of the somewhat similar "Up The Creek" from the same year, and as with the latter the former is equally poor in my eyes. It´s all about sex, alcohol, drugs, partying etc. "Where The Boys Are" is first of all extremely sexist in terms of both genders, but mostly towards the male gender. I am not disregarding all other college films that puts the focus on being sexist towards the female gender in many cases, but here it´s the opposite more or less. A fact. I reckon this is just poor from any angle you turn this movie and I do struggle to find anything good to say about it. Yes, Lynn-Holly Johnson is quite cute and radiant with a pair of killer legs. Otherwise, this is one to forget. |
| User ReviewMichael WFour college girls pack their birth control and bikinis and head to Fort Lauderdale for Spring Break. Love is discovered and hearts are broken. Identical plot to the previous year's SPRING BREAK, even appears to be filmed at the same cheap hotel. I'm sure that Yale was proud to be represented here. |
