 Retro-Beach Musical - Fun to Watch! October 9, 2009
STP Wave (California)
Great fun loving AIP beach musical from the mid-sixties is still a hoot to watch after all these years. No brain teaser here; just light plot, great looking chicks (especially Susan Hart) & some real cool sounding songs (especially from the Nooney Rickett 4). Is it possible to get the original music from this film? Of course, not to forget Annette & Tommy (Frankie had a cameo in this one). The ending credits scene with Susan Hart, Elsa Lanchester & Buster Keaton is memorable. So glad to find that Amazon, thru it's many distributor's is still carrying this product, because MGM who now owns the AIP rights has discontinued it I beleive.
Thanks Amazon!
My favorite of the beach party movies January 31, 2009

"Pajama Party" is my absolute favorite of the beach party movies. To me, it has the best production values, music and choreography. I can watch the musical numbers over and over again. The whole movie down to the choreography (they used David Winters who did Hullabaloo) is just so much better and more professional. Here are my favorite sequences:
1. "Beach Ball" (called "Rythm N Beach" on the DVD track listing). This features a group of what looks like professional dancers doing acrobatic dance moves in their bathing suits on the beach to the surf guitar music performed by the Nooney Rickett 4. This is wonderful. I wish I could join the people dancing!
2. "Among the Young" sung by Donna Loren. Great, catchy tune again accompanied by the Nooney Rickett Four. Donna and the musicians are surrounded by the Pajama Party gang while they perform. Donna really belts it out for this number.
3. "In My Day" sung by Dorothy Lamour. This number is in the context of a fashion show where each of the models who comes out wearing a different outfit suddenly starts doing a crazy teen dance, much to the horror of Lamour who sings "in my day, we didn't do it this way, in my day we used to swing and sway" etc. One of the dancers is Terri Garr, another Toni Basil!
4. "Pajama Party" sung by Annette by the poolside, accompanied by the gang, doing synchronized dancing! This is just great!
5. The end credits, which feature the Nooney Rickett 4's "Among the Young" instrumental music with the lovely Susan Hart dancing by the credits.
Again, my favorite of the beach party movies.
 PAJAMA PARTY: This Slumber Party is a Big Hit. September 25, 2006

_Pajama Party_ is the 4th entry in the "beach movie" series. _Pajama Party_ has it all: Throwaway songs, forgettable dialogue, poor dubbing, lousy twist music, ridiculous plot and plenty of semi-nude gyrating bodies. All of these attributes combine to make this movie totally enjoyable. Although _Pajama Party_ was an American International quickie, it has all the charm of a Disney movie during certain scenes. Maybe it's the old, familiar Disney characters, such as Elsa Lanchester and Tommy Kirk, in combination with Annette Funicello that help create this illusion.
In the "beach" flicks, Annette always played a chick named Dee Dee or Jennifer or Connie or Dolores. Whatever. Her names changed, but the characters she played were always the same. However, in _Pajama Party_, Annette finally exchanges her bulletproof beehive for a more flexible Greek goddess hairdo. Later on, she switches to a Jackie Kennedy bouffant. As usual, Annette wears an extremely modest Mother Hubbard-style Jensen one-piece swimsuit, but fortunately, her well-endowed girlfriends aren't nearly as inhibited.
The anamorphic widescreen transfer is superb. A narrow-screen version is also included.
 Not the best beach movie... July 6, 2006
Carla Peele
Most of the beach party movies were awesome--- Beach Party, Muscle Beach Party, Bikini Beach, Beach Blanket Bingo, even How to Stuff a Wild Bikini. However, this one was just random...
Annette was Dee Dee in all the others--- in this, she was Connie. Frankie barely got a part at all, and she was dating Jody McCrea; as Big Lunk, no less--- not even the loveable DeadHead. And, then Tommy Kirk. Now, I love Tommy Kirk, and I even loved he and Annette together in the Merlin Jones flicks. However... this one can't be lumped in with the other beach party movies. It just... CAN'T...
And, that is for the simple reason that it's totally different characters, different storylines, ect. It was like some sort of bizarre nightmare one of them may have been having...

The best scenes are with Annette Funicello singing a song and Annette Funicello and Tommy Kirk singing a song and Dorothy Lamour playing a saleswoman in a dress store and singing a song.Mary Hughes the blonde and Mike Nader and Susan Hart are good in the film.Frankie Avalon is missed in the film.Although Annette's boyfriend in the film is Tommy Kirk, and he does Great in the role though Frankie Avalon is in the film though he is only in a small role in some scenes here and there of the film though the film is Great and has some fun scenes.Although Frankie Avalon has no songs with her Annette Funicello is good in the film with Tommy Kirk.
