Bikini Model Academy (2015)

Charming and brutal

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

BIKINI MODEL ACADEMY is a truly Z-grade independent production that I found embarrassing to watch. It's about a couple of kids who decide to stage a bikini contest and as such tries to be your typical Hollywood teen comedy. Unfortunately instead of being raucous this is simply ridiculous with bad, well, everything, the acting being notably poor. The only reason anyone would want to see this is to see what happened to the careers of a couple of old timers (Morgan Fairchild and Gary Busey), but they're only present in very small cameo scenes.

No movie ever made has influenced me more than this classic. I had the honor of doing a play version of it about 5 years ago. I had seen the film thousands of times, had loved it, but I never really knew what it meant.During the course of the production, I suddenly felt alive. I felt that I wasn't having enough fun. I felt that I wasn't doing enough in my life. Crazy things, like kissing my mother or my father. I hadn't really hugged one of them in a while. It makes you think. It's more of a thinking person's film than a mere Christmas film. If you think it's just a Christmas film, I insist you watch it again and again, until you get the message.That black kid who plays Benji gives the finest performance of his career, in one of the most difficult characters ever portrayed. A character all of us are familiar with...a person looking to find himself/herself. It's the great struggle for finding what it is in life you really want to do. Benji teaches us so lessons throughout the film and in the end he teaches us the most important lesson of all, that life, although a long and winding road, truly is (for lack of a better word) wonderful...

Bikini Model Academy, as the name says it is about Bikini Model Academy. But there is nothing model nor academy about this movie all there is bikini. There is no sense, no story, nothing. All there are some half naked somewhat hot girls running around wearing bikinis. Oh there is one naked one, I do not know what was the purpose of her. I think everyone was high when they shoot this movie so they did not realize how lame is it.So you may ask why I wasted 30 minutes of my time. It is simple: to warn you all through this review. Stay away from this one. Trust me you are not missing anything. Rather do something useful, like plant a tree or something.

Two friends kills their latest Marihuana crop and thus loose their girls who are portrayed as simple gold diggers. While eating some pot cake they get the "brilliant" idea to create a bikini modeling school. Busey as their mentor tells them to create a business-plan, the 3 stage plan is "get girls". Failure to attract girls/"students" forces them to pay students to attend. The comedy is completely lost and what remains is a sad awkward mess. Gary Busey is terrible as their "mentor" and just sad to watch.This movie is so below par and it fails on pretty much every aspect. The only thing it has going for it is girls in bikini, and that seems to be the very idea of selling this sorry excuse of a movie. Do yourself a favor and spend your time and money on something else.
