Hunky Stud the story line is not too strong, but Garrett Clayton made this film a total 8. i just enjoy watching him acting so gay in the film, it was just crazily funny. he fits this role so perfectly. it is too funny to see him acting all silly and cute. his lines were too funny, he performed very well. i don't know if the director made him doing that, or he thought it himself, i think that this film was funnier than teen beach movie. and Garrett Clayton is just so good looking to look at. but his role just seems so gay that they should have given him a boyfriend to play with in this film, that girlfriend relationship obviously doesn't work. i would watch teen beach 3 if he is in it again.

TxMike I saw the first one, 'Teen Beach', about a year ago. Back then I wrote in part, " I found it totally fun to watch, with its playing on the time-travel themes and real people influencing characters in a movie." Now I can say the same for this one. For what it is, for what it tries to do, it is a very nicely entertaining movie.Most of the cast are the same actors in the same roles but the time- travel reversed. The young actors are talented and energetic and the movie has several nice singing and dancing production numbers. It is a nice throw-back to the beach movies of the 1960s when I was an actual teenager. In the first movie Ross Lynch as Brady and his new girlfriend Maia Mitchell as Mack are on the surf and magically get transported to their favorite movie, they have encounters with the characters, much as the twins do in "Pleasantville." In this movie the opposite happens, one of the girls in the movie finds Mack's lost necklace and it magically transports her and her boyfriend into Brady and Mack's world. Those two are Grace Phipps as Lela and Garrett Clayton as Tanner.Much like in both "Pleasantville" and in "Purple Rose of Cairo" the characters only knew what was contained in the various scripts and had to learn most modern stuff anew. Like what a cell phone is. And, like in "Back to the Future" where Marty's siblings started to fade from a photo when it looked like he might have messed up his parents' getting together, in this movie characters start to disappear when it looks like Lela and Tanner like their new world too much and might not travel back to the characters in the movie.And there is yet another wrinkle, if they don't go back then the movie might never exist and Brady and Mack would never meet by never seeing the movie. All of this is of course resolved by the end, and like in "Pleasantville", Mack and Brady tell the characters that they don't have to do what they always did, they can change things up.The movie ends with an extravagant production number, the movie is playing on a big screen outdoors in the background while on the beach the cast are dancing and singing on the beach. The real kids and the characters in the movie are doing the same moves, it comes across really well.I saw it on Netflix streaming.

albertbanks It is the eve of the first day of school for Mack (Maia Mitchell) and Brady (Ross Lynch), who spend it at Dolphin's Cove celebrating their "meet-iversary" and reminiscing about the summer and the day they met at Dolphin's Cove over Brady's favorite movie, Wet Side Story, the movie Mack and Brady got stuck in during the events of Teen Beach Movie ("Best Summer Ever"). After surfing, Brady asks Mack if things will change between them at school. Mack says no; she then notices she lost the necklace she received while in Wet Side Story's universe. Thinking it is lost forever, they swim away.The next day, Brady reunites with his friend Devon (Raymond A. Cham, Jr.), while Mack reunites with her friend Alyssa (Piper Curda); both are shocked about their new relationship due to their polar opposite personalities. Brady then runs into Mack, and both are taken aback by how they act at school. Later, in marine biology class, Brady is working on designs for a surfboard, but hides it when Mack asks him what he's up to. Mack then bumps into Spencer Watkins (Ross Butler), who Alyssa said was the cutest guy in school, and Brady becomes defensive. After school, Brady tries asks Mack to hang out, but Mack is too busy preparing for a "Save the Beach" dance. Mack reminds him about a college fair, and he promises he'll be there with Mack. Brady struggles with a college application, so goes to work on a surfboard with Wet Side Story on in the background.The movie turns to Wet Side Story, where Tanner (Garrett Clayton) is preparing to go to the lighthouse to save Big Momma's. Lela (Grace Phipps) suggests she could help, breaking the movie's plot line, but Tanner gets Lela to back down, and the movie returns to normal, albeit with a visibly shaken Lela.Later, Brady realizes he's late for the college fair, but by the time he gets there, the fair has ended. Mack and Brady argue about how Mack is so busy and Brady hides things from Mack, and they agree not to see each other until next summer ("On My Own").Meanwhile, in the Wet Side Story universe, Lela sings "Fallin' For Ya," but ultimately can't take it anymore and leaves Big Momma's, breaking the movie's plot line. Tanner rushes out to see what's wrong with Lela, and she says she was changed by her encounter with Mack. Lela then finds the necklace she gave Mack washed up on the beach, and Lela and Tanner go into the ocean, ultimately winding up in the present day real world, where they are stunned by all of the modern day advances.Brady and Mack run into each other on the beach, still with tension, but they spot Lela and Tanner and reunite with them. Mack and Brady tell them they're in the future, exciting Lela and Tanner ("Right Where I Want to Be"). Mack and Brady debate telling them the truth after noticing that Tanner and Lela's hair can't get wet, but decide instead to show them that the real world isn't as great as it seems.Back in Wet Side Story, the characters are confused without Lela and Tanner. Butchy (John DeLuca) has Cheechee (Chrissie Fit) sing "Fallin' For Ya," but she is constantly interrupted by Seacat (Jordan Fisher) ("Fallin' For Ya"). Nobody notices that a background character disappears as he enters Big Momma's.Brady and Mack bring Lela and Tanner to school, where their movie characteristics come out against Mack and Brady's cautions, culminating in a big musical number in the cafeteria ("Turn That Frown Upside Down"). Lela becomes too enthralled with math homework to hang out with Tanner after school and goes to Mack's house, so Tanner hangs out with Brady, and they have a heart to heart – Tanner was worried that Lela came to this world because he wasn't enough for her. Brady then alludes to his rough patch with Mack, and reveals that he's been working on unique surfboards; he says that Mack can't know because she might not get it, given her plans to go to college. Mack, meanwhile, tries to convince Lela that the movie world was better, but when she suggests that Lela only needs a boy who loves her, Lela uses Mack's words against her. When Mack notices Lela wearing normal clothes, something she couldn't do before, she calls Brady, and they both discover that the two are becoming part of the real world. They then tell Lela and Tanner that they are just characters in a movie, showing them clips from Wet Side Story ("Silver Screen"). This doesn't sit well with Lela, who throws the necklace into the ocean, prompting Mack and Brady to search for it; this leads to another argument between them, which disturbs Lela and Tanner.While this all is happening, in the Wet Side Story universe, the gang sees people disappearing. Butchy, realizing that all of this started after Tanner and Lela left, notices the necklace washed up, and leads the gang into the ocean to get Tanner and Lela back. They come out into the real world and everyone reunites. When Lela resists their calls to return, Butchy tells her about the disappearing characters; Brady and Mack realize that with no movie stars, there's no movie. Lela agrees to leave, and the movie characters retreat into their world, and Mack and Brady

chloeduncan-74496 I was really excited for this movie because the first movie was amazing but Teen Beach 2 was kind of a let down. Sure, you could argue. Some songs were catchy, it was a great storyline, some parts were funny and some parts were very touching but I do have my reasons for writing this review. Firstly, the new people totally ruined the vibe, causing me to forget this movie was about 1962 characters. They were totally unnecessary! The movie was overall less bouncy and fun than the first one and was much less music. The ending was my least favourite scene in the entire movie! Wait? So, you (Referring to Disney) just made me cry because Brady and Mack had a massive fight (which was probably the aim) but you make me die because they completely forget about each other? IM SORRY! THATS NOT RIGHT! The first movie was so much more.... Fun and up beat. The sequel had a whole Austin and Ally vibe and I'm definitely not a fan of Austin and Ally! Lucky that the sequel wasn't the first movie otherwise I'd have a lot more frustration for this movie. I just hope there is a 3rd movie where everything goes back to normal (meaning Mack and Brady remember each other and everything they've done together) and the third has just as good a plot, just as good a storyline and the same actors and 1962 vibe as the first one.
