So much average

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

When I watched the trailer and read the summary this movie seemed to be very good but it wasn't. The acting of the protagonist (penny) was not good and it's seemed like there is no connection between the actors to the story. The best thing that happened to that movie was Noah who played Jonny that he is super hot.

Ok, the soundtrack was good, the scenery with the beach was beautiful. The acting wasn't THAT bad. But the story was what makes it easy to hate. It tells a story about rich kids with almost no conflicts or problems in their lifes figuring out their life in days with no conflicts or problems. The End. Everyone got what they wanted with no effort at all, no compromise, nothing. The parents are perfetcly supportive for whatever their kids want- surf, do art, do nothing? Wonderful. Just go for it. The love life of those kids is as realistic as the story of a porn movie. There aren o conflicts in this movie!! Why even bother watching it? It was boring and seemed like it lasted for 2 hours instead of 1h and 15 minutes. Just don't watch it. It's not even bad enough to be funny or trash.

This movie is terrible. I'm wondering how it got made. It seems like the director was attempting to make a high-brow film that comes off more like an arrogant 13-year old's Philosophy essay. The main actress looks like she was fed the lines one minute before every scene was filmed. The lines are reminiscent of a Sunday Hallmark film. The country singer character seems like a caricature of country singers which was almost insulting. The cameos are bewildering, like an uncle bragging about knowing the President. It's a Painful, and I repeat Painful watch. Why would Netflix stream such a movie? It's a sight for sore eyes. I understand now that the International Version of Netflix has no respect for its viewers.

This must have been one of the worst... "things" I have seen in a long time. Calling it a movie would even be offensive to a really bad movie.First of all the weird voice over sounds like someone forced their mom to read lines they had come with 2 minutes earlier, which would actually in a way be a good thing because it would be the ONLY logical explanation to why she makes everything sound so painfully awkward. And I just cannot NOT address the fact that Molly Ringwald plays the mom, I mean I have seen desperation amongst once famous actors but she has just taken the crown. Not to mention that the script is so bad it makes you wanna rip your hair out. Overall SPF-18 looks like it could have easily been made by middle schoolers and the fact that anyone would call this piece of crap an actual movie hurts my intelligence.Since this catastrophic piece of "film making" was Alex Israel's directorial debut I'm guessing we wont be seeing cinematic masterpieces from him any time soon. Goes to show that getting a bunch of fairly good looking yet extremely mediocre actors and placing them in a luxurious environment does not necessarily make a good movie, or you know, in this case a movie at all.
