"Goin' On a Fall Break!" These kids are gonna have a great time in Fall Break at the Rialto this week. I know it! I feel it! College kids who are good looking, fresh and so clean go on a magical safari to a beach house. Soul-searching questions of life, love and sex forever floating around their brains and mouths & touching our hearts.

And, is this beach house ever nice? You bet! I can't conceive of a more entertaining week than one spent with these people. I mean: the good looking guy, his girlfriend, the blonde & her goofy boyfriend, the others who are there, too. I mean, board games! Board games! Look at how much fun they have just driving to the beach house. There's something to be said for all the gusto this film evokes. (Gusto! There's a word!)

So, their dilemmas become ours. Such as: Sex or no? Drinking or no? Using the huge indoor pool or no? Dying or no? (And, when I say dying, I mean...dying for love!) It's nice to really get inside the minds of these characters and just wander. There are good things to be had here.

Hollywood knows that everyone has problems. Some of us have big problems, some a little tinier. Not everyone can work through their problems to the best of their abilities. That's what movies like this do. Intelligent writing, incisive characters & strong, strong acting. These are the things good films are made of. These are the things that this film is made of. And, more.

How much more? Oh, a lot more. There is wonderment here. You have to know where & when to grab it. I'm not sure if Hollywood can solve all your troubles (give 'em a break!) but you should really let them try.

Should you have fun? Yes. Should you have fun somewhere nice? Yes. Should you have sex? Yes. Should you keep a clean house? Yes! Should you have good friends? Yes!! Is your life going to be glorious and hassle-free if you do all this? Yes, yes!! Are all the instruments of joy inside you? Yes, yes, again I say yes!!!

Live! And, live like these people. I'm sure, if you write to the producers c/o Hollywood, they'd give you the address of this beautiful seaside home. (Just ask for "Dad"!) For real! That's right! That's right! It's all yours! Just breathe it in! Thank you.

(Note: The title of this film is Fall Break. Clearly the title it has on-screen, The Mutilator, was hastily inserted by someone trying to make a buck. Don't believe it. Fall Break, 100%)
