The decadence and sex-obsessed excess of the 80s are in full regalia here in HOT RESORT. The setting is a luxurious Caribbean resort where many of the vacationers have nothing but sex on the mind it seems. HOT RESORT's heroes are "poor" American hotel resort employees looking to score by whatever means possible(sex not drugs), sometimes with little effort(everyone seems horny as if Spanish fly where an epidemic you catch by breathing). Our heroes get involved in a soup commercial rowing competition with rich, pretentious actors who talk like the Howells from GILLIGAN'S ISLAND. Meanwhile Marty(Tom Parsekian)spends the entire film trying to romance Liza(Debra Kelly). Liza is staying at the resort with gal pal Franny(Marcy Walker; probably best known for her stint on the soap opera, SANTA BARBARA); Marty is immediately smitten with Liza and tries to convince her that he's the man for her. With Bronson Pinchot in an early performance as wise-cracking resort employee Brad, Frank Gorshin as Mr. Green(he won the resort vacation on a game show), and Stephen Stucker(the flamboyant, spirited gay comic who would die a year later of AIDS, known best for his scene stealing in AIRPLANE!)as a member of the hotel staff. Samm-Art Williams is over the staff, as Bill Martin, attempting to run the employees as if they were part of a military platoon. This sex comedy tries hard, with plenty of vulgarity(just not exactly laugh-out funny)and nudity to spare.
