Recently I was talking with one of my family members and when I said that I’d need some goofy comedy for that night, they recommended “Private Resort”. But not like “hey, it’s an amazing film”. Rather like “if you wish to wash your brain, here you go”. They said that it was the most popular comedy among their friends when they were younger and that VHS (the grandpa of DVDs) was definitely overused. So I decided to give it a try, especially since you can see young Johnny Depp there. What is it about? Johnny plays Jack, a teenager who together with his friend Ben (Rob Morrow) are searching for wealthy and gorgeous girls at a Miami resort. There’s also one more guy there who, let’s say, wishes to “borrow” expensive belongings. He’s known as The Maestro (Hector Elizondo), a thief with a lot of experience. So basically we have two kids losing their minds seeing wonderful ladies, a guy who wants to steal jewellery and a lot of rich people enjoying their time. If you’re looking for something easy to follow, that’s definitely a good production to see. Still, I guess my brain wasn’t ready for such a wash and I’m not buying this comedy at all. I know we’re not supposed to take it seriously and I get it, but I have my limits and I just couldn’t find any pleasure in watching such ridiculous and often inappropriate jokes. I do like Johnny, I do like Hector Elizondo, but I just hoped to finish this comedy as fast as possible. I’m honestly surprised that my family member managed to see it several times… it sounds like a perfect idea for peaceful tortures, I swear. Still, if you’re curious and brave enough, feel free to check it out. From me it’s a “never again”.
