| | See it for the musclemen | Candy Kane 01/28/2007 | | Frankie and cranky Annette are annoying as usual, but the film includes such muscle studs as Peter Lupus as Mr. Galaxy, the biggest, strongest, handsomest, and most pec-tacular man on the beach, and Mr. Olympia Larry Scott, Mr. Universe Chet Yorton (second handsomest), and future Grizzly Addams star Dan Haggerty. Beach pal Bonehead could have joined the muscle troupe as well with a bit more training. |
