Three hot babes from outer space show up on the California coast and get it on with some local surfer dudes. They also enter a bikini contest in order to help laid-back cool older guy Uncle Bud (amiable Joe Estevez) out of a jam.

Director David DeCoteau relates the enjoyably inane story at a zippy pace, maintains a likeable lighthearted tone throughout, presents a bevy of tasty bikini-clad honeys, and delivers a satisfying serving of yummy bare female flesh along with some sizzling soft-core sex. This film further benefits from a neat cast made up of familiar B-flick faces and relatives of famous folks: Linnea Quigley as the snarky Sally, Joey Travolta as affable health nut Dr. Veg, Burt Ward as decent rich dude Mr. Bun, Nikki Fritz and Angela Cornell as two of Sally's models, and Don Swayze and Jackie Stallone as squabbling parents. Sarah Bellomo, Tamara Landry, and Nicole Posey are super sexy and appealing as the titular alien babes. The catchy and energetic soundtrack keeps things bouncing along. Good silly fun.

I am easily pleased. I like bad films. I like films featuring attractive young women in small amounts of clothing.

This film gives all the above a bad name. Yes, you know going in that what you're getting is not high art, or anything like. But, even for the type of movie it is, Beach Babes From Beyond isn't very good.

Some people have given it 10. I can only assume that these are people who have had the organs which enable rational thought to take place surgically removed.

It isn't very good. It simply isn't very good.

3 out of 10 solely on the grounds of a) novelty value for the famous relatives and Burt Ward and b) some of the girls are cute.

Oh, by the way, did I tell you that it isn't very good?

Of course it is silly and there are some annoying performances and a minimal plot that still manages to appear superfluous but it is still likable. Everybody seems to be enjoying themselves and it looks good most of the time. The music can be annoying, about four songs repeated throughout the film, and yet they are pretty catchy. The pre-credit sequence features Mrs Stallone and there is a fine shower scene behind the credits, so things start just as you might imagine and continue. All the girls seem to wear bikinis or less all the time and the guys don't seem quite as goofy or old as they often can in these type of films. Joe Estevez is a bit annoying but Linnea Quigley, past taking her clothes off in this is very good indeed. Biggest surprise of all was during the big bikini contest as we watch the girls writhing rhythmically in close-up, the song, I kid you not seems to be entitled, 'I Got A Woody'. there is no way back from that and all quickly comes to a satisfactory end. Spirited.
