Randal Kleiser brings some of that same kinetic energy he brought to his film version of Grease at times in Summer Lovers, but you have to get past a pretty slow opening act. It's basically the story of an attractive couple who vacation in Greece and the guy becomes obsessed with a woman who lives across the way from them. For a second, you'd be forgiven for thinking this would turn into some Hitchcockian thriller, but the film goes its own way and the mysterious woman and man end up having sex. The rest of the film is him trying to convince his girlfriend that he's not a bad guy and that they could have an open relationship. This mysterious woman soon moves in with them and they all become the best of friends.
No, this never leads to any hot lesbian action, bros, but there's plenty of naked flesh (male and female) on display throughout. The film has a great soundtrack, though (I shudder to think how much the music rights cost them) and the story is charming enough even if one can't help but think we're supposed to admire Peter Gallagher's character who cheats on his girlfriend the first time she leaves him to fend for himself. Get some self-control, buddy.
Summer Lovers is slight, but frequently entertaining if you're in the right mood and go in without expectations. It's not really moving or funny or sexy enough to stand out much from other 80's movies, but I've had worse times.
