The other night TCM had a cheesefest-athon of the films of Bert I Gordon. He apparently was quite good at making cheesy films about mutating things that grow to become huge. This addition to his film pantheon seems to be a mix between a 1960's surfer movie and a vehicle for the Ron Howard. It's almost like the Howards had something against someone at the studio and they were like "Let's make a film starring Ron Howard so they stop blackmailing us - I don't care what it is, just throw in almost naked teens with slow motion gyrations segments, dancing, musical groups, Flubber, little Ronny Howard, Toni Basil with some choreography and strange orange wig, and for some reason Beau Bridges.
