The film's time-warp, movie-nerd conceit is just clever enough to keep you entertained.

Getting trapped in a movie... is no day at the beach.

Overview
Life's a beach for surfers Brady and McKenzie – until a rogue wave magically transports them inside the classic '60s beach party flick, "Wet Side Story," where a full-blown rivalry between bikers and surfers threatens to erupt. There, amidst a sea of surfing, singing and dancing, Brady and Mack accidentally change the storyline, and the film’s dreamy hero and heroine fall for them instead of for each other!

In spite of my pasty self, there's something I liked about all the relentless mugging and frugging.

It's too bad the makers didn't do a slightly better job casting the key roles, but taken on its own terms the 95-minute Disney Channel original plays like a brightly colored beach blanket, albeit one that's a little rough around its sandy edges.
Brian Lowry, Variety

So we have a fundamentally earnest movie that mocks tongue-in-cheek movies for their earnestness.
