Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIf you notice, all of the actresses in the movie have high-waist bikinis that cover their navels. Most of the actresses in the "Beach" movies of the 60's wore regular bikinis of the time that did expose their navels but not Ms. Annette Funicello in Beach Party (1963). Ms. Funicello was still under contract with Disney at the time and was on loan to do the Beach movies. It is a widely reported myth that Mr. Walt Disney forbid Annette from exposing her navel. Ms. Funicello addressed this issue in her 1994 autobiography where explained she chose not to expose her navel "out of respect" for Mr. Disney. However, Ms. Funicello's navel is shown in the later installment of the Beach series.
- GoofsIn the final surfing scene, Mack's hair goes from up, to down, to up again while in the water surfing.
- Crazy creditsOuttakes play during the end credits, followed by an additional scene: the characters from the 1960s are transported to the 2010s and are frightened by modern artifacts such as camera-phones, leading into the story of Teen Beach 2 (2015).

Featured review
Enjoyable even for parents!
Two years ago my kids were getting very excited about something new coming to the Disney Channel - Teen Beach Movie.
The idea of a Disney musical about kids on the beach sounded kinda lame to me, but I kept getting drawn in as I walked by my kid's room while they watched it.
Finally, I sat down to watch the whole thing ... and watched it with them again, and again, and again. Yes, I'll admit it -- I was a late-40's mom who fell in love with Teen Beach Movie.
Having grown up on Beach Blanket Bingo films, I loved what Disney did with this parody. It's a cute premise that pays homage to the old goofy classics in a really charming way.
It's fun, funny, and the tunes are so catchy, two years later we still break out into them from time to time in our house.
Don't expect ground breaking cinema here, but it's a fun little romp, suitable for the whole family, that parents who grew up in the 60's and 70's might just get a kick out of.
