"Candy" that won't give you tooth decay!

With summer in full swing and the pool-floats-that-look-like-alligators industry netting record profits, it's time for my annual "Summer Beach Blast 2000" (sponsored by AOL Time Warner and the Pepsi Summer Chill-Out). Here are a few picks to warm your hearts during those cold (dead) dog days of summer!
Back to the Beach - The fun of "Back to the Future," but minus the time travelling, Crispen Glover, and ninjas. Also, substitute surf boards for skate boards and Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello for Michael J. Fox, and it's practically the same damn movie! Pee Wee Herman is also in it. I don't know what it's about.
Summer Rental - Definitely worth a good...summer rental at the video store! I can't remember if I've seen this one or not, but the poster looks hilarious! You just know John Candy is like gonna fall on that girl and crush her to death or something!
Summer School - Marc Harmon as a beach bum-turned-summer school teacher. It doesn't get any better than this folks! Well, it might...but it doesn't.
Beaches - IMDB says: "A privileged rich debutante and a cynical struggling entertainer share a turbulent, but strong childhood friendship over the years." Sounds like a wacky sex romp to me, a' la "Meatballs" and "Heavenly Creatures."
The Great Outdoors - John Candy's also in this and that's enough for me (that fatty should really do more stuff). However, some people need more than mere "eye Candy," so there's also Dan "My Stepmothyer's Is An Alien" Aykroyd. It's about two families butting heads in an idyllic cabin in the woods. Many critics think it's a precursor to "On Golden Pond," but in actuallity, that movie came before "The Great Outdoors." Hey critics, get your facts straight or shut up!
Curly Sue - This one has nothing to do with summer, but it's utterly charming. Rent it! Watch it! And then watch someone renting it!
