Bikinis, breasts, and Johnny Depp's bare bottom are the selling points of archetypal teen sex comedy Private Resort. The plot has the purity of haiku: Two horny young men (Depp, Pirates of the Caribbean, Edward Scissorhands, and Rob Morrow, Northern Exposure, in his film debut) doggedly pursue scantily-clad women at a tropical vacation spot. Standing in their way are a bitter hotel detective and a jewel thief known as the Maestro (Hector Elizondo, Pretty Woman)--though his claim of mastery seems an overstatement; anyone expecting To Catch a Thief or The Thomas Crown Affair-style suavity will be sadly disappointed. Babes are ogled; breasts are exposed; bald middle-aged men are mocked as buffoons; and both Depp and Morrow strip naked, revealing pale posteriors--and, in Depp's case, a scrawny physique that would mortify any contemporary teen star. While this can't be called one of Depp's more nuanced performances, his trademark bemused nonchalance is already present in larval form. Ironically, given Depp's later reputation for soulfulness, Morrow is the sincere one who yearns for a sweet young waitress, while Depp is the cad who runs after anything with breasts (he refers to quaaludes as 'the love drug' and 'falls in love' with a girl who bends over in front of him in an aerobics class). Also featuring Andrew 'Dice' Clay (The Adventures of Ford Fairlane) and Leslie Easterbrook (beloved from the Police Academy series). Discriminating cineastes will be happy to hear that Private Resort has been letterboxed, so the full frame of every shot can be fully appreciated. --Bret Fetzer

Rating:  - Private Resort
It is a great movie if you are a Johnny Depp fan. I got it to complete my collection.
Rating:  - Better than I thought it would be
I ordered this movie and actually mistook it for "Hot Resort" Same year (1985) and almost the same name with a similar setting. Private Resort was pretty good, had it's moments, and just kept you wondering what was going to happen next. It was one of those mid-80s teen on the beach flicks, so watch it if you don't want drama or horror.
Rating:  - private resort
One of johnny depp and rob morrows first movies, this is a fun quirky animal house style film but this ones at a beautiful resort.
Basically a fun film about two friends trying to get laid by any woman and they get up to quite abit of mischief to try to acheive this, sit back and relax and enjoy the corny 80's soundtrack that goes along with the film, overall definately worth seeing.
Rating: - Private Resort
One of Johnny Depp's earlier movie, is Private Resort. I thought it was funny for it's time. I would recommend it to anyone who is a JD fan.
Rating: - Amusing teen age sex farce
The 21 year old Johnny Depp appears here as one of two teens on the make at a Florida resort hotel - their only wish is to get laid. Complications ensue. Nothing new here - situations evolve out of classic farce and slapstick encounters. Both Rob Morrow and Depp expose their butts in a few sequences and there are more exposed women's breasts than in any other commercially released film I've seen. There is the inept jewel thief, the lecherous waiter with designs on the sweet young waitress and ... Read More
