Editorial Review:
Ben and Jack are a couple of guys hanging out at a posh Miami resort hoping to snag one of the wealthy and beautiful women who are staying there. Comic relief is provided by the Maestro, a jewel thief who dresses in drag. When he's not busy hopping in and out of bed, Jack manages to get Ben into plenty of trouble.
Description of Private Resort:
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
Private Resort Reviews:
Hilarious! 
2009-05-12 - In less talented hands, this comedy could have been a disaster. But here we have two great stars and a marvelous supporting cast in a guaranteed laugh-getter, perfect for parties. Morrow and Depp are at a Miami resort with their eyes on bikini-glad girls, but having the worst luck getting any in the sack. Depp ends up in hot water with a married woman while Morrow shares a bubble-bath with her husband, a gun-toting jewel thief. He's after a valuable diamond worn by a crazy karate-kicking grandmaw, but gets thrown out a window by her and beaten-up by everyone else. It's all wild and very, very funny.
CUTE & HORMONE CHARGED 80'S MOVIE! 
2009-03-08 - A CUTE AND FUNNY MOVIE WITH LOTS OF BEAUTIFUL FLESH... INCLUDING JOHNNY DEPPS AND ROB MORROWS! FILMED AT OCEAN REEF IN THE FLORIDA KEYS, SO IT'S TWO HORNY TOAD GUYS ON VACATION IN A BEAUTIFUL FIVE STAR RESORT. GOT EVERYTHING THAT AN 80'S MOVIE SHOULD HAVE... INCLUDING DODIE GOODMAN DOWNING A HANDFULL OF QUAALUDES. LMAO, I RECOMMEND THIS ONE! OH YEAH, THE FIRST TITS YOU SEE IN THIS MOVIE ARE PERFECT!
Private Resort 
2008-12-28 - This is one of Johnny Depp's first films and therefor does not fall into the same class of his future movies. However, it does show his comedic ability and being able to do the best he can with a script that is not the best. I have added this dvd to my Johnny Depp collection simply to have a complete record of his films.
Sorta funny, but mostly lame 
2008-12-02 - A very accurate testament to the 18 year old boy's mind, this movie's best feature is a shot of Johnny Depp's naked rear-end. It's one of those classically bad 80's movies that's filled with funny cliches (you will roll your eyes), corny characters, and an unpredictable and surprisingly complete plot makes you finish watching.

2008-09-04 - It is a great movie if you are a Johnny Depp fan. I got it to complete my collection.
