“Starring Phoebe Cates (Mrs. Kevin Kline, who knew?), as in u0026quot;what ever happened tou0026quot;, and Bridget Fonda just as her career took off, Shag is sweet, warm, funny, nostalgic, and above all, wild. I saw a trailer for this on another DVD and added to my list of u0026quot;must haves.u0026quot; It was well worth it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eCates is Carson McBride, about to marry stuffy Harley Ralston (Tyron Power, Jr.). Her best friends, played by Bridget Fonda, Annabeth Gish and Page Hannah (yup, Darrylu0026#39;s sister) surprise her with a weekend in Myrtle Beach as a last fling. Cates is funny enough, but Bridget simply overpowers the other female leads with her boundless charisma.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThey meet a couple of local boys who change their lives and have one heck of good time in the process. Speaking of u0026quot;what ever happened to,u0026quot; Scott Coffeyu0026#39;s Chip was the most enjoyable male character in the film, cute as a bug and delightfully innocent and whatever happened to him?u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eToo many films of this genre are souless, heartless and mindless. This one is the rare exception, and gives you a chance to remember the discovery and adventure of coming of age.”
