-- Synopsis: This light "Chick-Flick" comedy was a dismal failure on the big screen, but became very popular on video as it plays very cozily on the tube, where it lends itself to pajama parties and Shag dance parties. It is the story of four girls who have just graduated from high school in 1963 who hightail it to Myrtle Beach - the forbidden zone of handsome boys and booze. As three young Southern White girls trick their soon-to-be-married gal-pal Carson (Phoebe Cates) into one final all-girl fling in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Cates is engaged to a local well-bred bore (Tyrone Power Jr.), but soon she's is tempted by Buzz (Robert Rusler) a beach boy bound for Yale. This film is not related to the Austin Powers title as this refers to the dance, not something else.

* Many popular, local Carolina Shag dancers of the time. 'Pudge' and Chip, Caroline and Skip and others practice and enter the "Sun Fun Shag Contest" and show some very good Carolina Shag dancing. The Shag is also South Carolina's State Dance.
