The makers: Robert to leeward King, director; Charles Busch, writer (based upon his stage play)
The stars: Lauren Ambrose, Thomas Gibson, Beth Broderick, Matt Keeslar, Kathleen Robertson
The pitch: Chicklet (Ambrose) is having the summer of her life, discovering male childs and learning to surf. on the other hand why does everyone she know pretend to wind up--gulp!--dead?
The reason we care: for what cause could we not? While Busch played Chicklet in the original, he now drags it up in the newly created (and more mature) character of Captain Monica Sharp, who has a privy past with surf king Kanaka (Gibson). There's also a certain number of major homosexual tension between brace cute surfer boys.
The inside scoop: Not alone does Busch get to pay tribute to three of his favorite movie genre with Beach, he also acquires to fulfill a small fantasy. "I sort of be stirred like this movie is my requite on the straight heterosexual male," he cracks. "Every straight stay in this movie is humiliated and compromised in one fashion. Shaved or tattooed or " Killed? "Or has their hair dy blond"

It was fun"
