This pop punk jukebox musical comedy follows the hermit crabs who live under the boardwalk at the Jersey Shore. When Armen (a land crab townie) falls in love with Ramona (a sea crab tourist) tensions between their friends and families rise. But when a storm casts the duo far from home, their love will lead them on an epic adventure which unites the divided community.
Under the Boardwalk 4K ReviewA very formulaic movie that goes through all the storybeats in the way you would expect. A pocahontas like story where two lovers meet from different factions. A girl that wants to leave her sheltered live and see the world. A guy that is a little too shy and finds it hard to fit in. It has all been done before and borders the line of cliche.
The only praise I can give in terms of originality are it's setting. Some effort was put into the world building. And the very musical like structure. Though most songs are pretty standard, and not much to write home about. It does feel like a musical with some production value.
Overall it's a decent movie, but painfully average.
