Danny and Frank have been best friends since
forever. Now, it is the last summer before Danny goes on to Harvard, and they
both work as lifeguards at the same water park. Their goal is to end summer
with a big bash, with their fellow employees at the water park and all of their
friends. Their main idea is to score with women, but they have to contend with
a boss that wants to put the kibosh on the celebrations.
Staten Island Summer is your average teen sex
comedy, filled with lusty boys, party animals, prudes, loose women, clueless
parents and controlling father figures. There is no room for anything but
extremes and clichés here. Every character fits in a category we have seen many
times before.
That being said, this 2015 comedy, that has
more than its share of SNL alumnis in the cast, manages to be funny a good
portion of the time. It does not reinvent the recipe, but it does a decent job
of delivering a potable version of it.
