Product Description:

In this hip-hop-fueled, urban take-off on the classic Frankie Avalon-Annette Funicello beach movies, an awkward Bakersfield teen and his bad-influence friend take their dad's car on a road trip to the sandy shores of sunny Southern California.

Plot Synopsis:

Sweet-natured Benny and his horny pal Durrel are two Black teens with a scheme: head for the beaches of Southern California and make easy money selling cheap sunglasses. Their venture allows them to enjoy the waves, ogle the babes, and become involved in wacky misadventures. For these two, it'll be one summer they'll never forget.
