Hot Resort is a 1985 comedy film directed by John Robins and starring Bronson Pinchot, Dan Schneider, Marcy Walker and Samm-Art Williams.[1][2] It was shot on St Kitts with an American cast and crew.[citation needed]
Plot
[edit]Several young American men go to St Kitts for a summer job at a resort hotel, hoping to earn money for college and meet women. They clash with a group of wealthy Ivy League rowers there to film a soup commercial.
Production
[edit]Hot Resort was filmed on an Arriflex 35BL camera and 35 mm film, on location at the Royal St Kitts Hotel, St Kitts.[3][4][5]
Reception
[edit]The Blockbuster Video Guide to Movies and Videos described it as a "cold sophomoric comedy."[6] Leonard Maltin rated Hot Resort a "bomb" and gave it a "D".[7]
In the Radio Times, Keith Bailey gave it one star, saying "There's not much in the way of humour in this teen comedy […] Poor old Frank Gorshin wanders in and out of the virtually plotless story, while Bronson Pinchot shows none of the comic talent that would later make him famous."[8]
