Plot: Shag is a beach flick set in 1963. The years have passed, but the old Where the Boys Are formula holds firm: Four attractive young lasses head for the surf and sand of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, looking for guys. Phoebe Cates is about to be married, so her three pals seek out a final affair d'amour on her behalf before she is lost to the world forever. The cast is fascinating for its family ties: Bridget Fonda is the daughter of Peter Fonda, Page Hannah the sister of Darryl Hannah, and Tyrone Power III is the son of you-know-who. Filmed in 1988, Shag was released that year in Europe, then offered to American audiences one year later. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

A Timeless Classic
Added 9/6/2009

When I first saw this movie I was 9 years old and oh how I loved it - the classic storyline, the great characters and the wonderful music. For many years I searched for the movie and could not find it but then managed to find it here! Well, with a baby of my own on the way I look forward to sharing this moving someday with my kids. Just a great fun movie - 5 stars!

Got it for my wife...She loves it...I hate it!

The rating is based on her rating...This movie is terrible if you are a middle-aged man. I could not get past the first 30 minutes. On the other hand, my wife loves it and watches it all the time. She said it makes her remember watching it as a little girl with her cousins, and they loved it!

The songs on the DVD are unbearable!!!
Added 6/17/2009

I have watched my VHS copy of Shag (my all-time favorite movie) at least fifty times and always sing along to every song. When the DVD copy arrived in the mail last week, I immediately watched it and could not have been more dissapointed! Listening to new songs take the place of the old songs that fit perfectly in the movie was UNBEARABLE! I honestly could not finish watching this version because it drove me crazy to hear the replacement songs that don't even go with the time period or mood of the scenes.

MGM, please release another DVD version of Shag that has the originial songs on it! I would buy it in a heart beat, no matter the cost!
