It's the summer of 63 South Carolina. Carson (Phoebe Cates) is soon to be married. Her friends wild girl Melaina (Bridget Fonda), formerly chubby Pudge (Annabeth Gish) and senator's daughter Luanne (Page Hannah) trick her into going to Myrtle Beach for one last fun time. Carson is unsure about marrying rich Harley and spends time with townie Buzz Ravenel. Awkward Chip Guillyard takes a liking to Pudge. Melaina is desperate to go to Hollywood. It's a wild weekend culminating in a Shag Contest or dance contest.
This has three 80s sweethearts in Phoebe Cates, Bridget Fonda and Annabeth Gish. I love the girls and Scott Coffey. Robert Rusler is not charismatic enough to be a leading man although he has become a good toughie. Frankly, his character is the main deficiency of this movie. Carson has a big character development arch and she needs Buzz to be much better.
