Teen Beach Movie - Blog Posts
my flatmate convinced me to watch “teen beach movie” and oh boi I don’t regret it this movie has everything
himbos
the existential horror of being fictional
tacky musical numbers
the two genders: surfers and bikers
an entire number about “knowing what girls/boys like”
flamboyant villains that are probably married with two kids
Les Camembert
feminism? in my 60s girls slumber party? it’s more likely than you think
a biker called butchy which is probably like the least straight name if you’re wearing leather and singing
so many references to Grease, West Side Story and Happy Days that are totally wasted on the target audience
the power of friendship? no - the power of dumbass chaotic teens
So Party Rock Anthem and Falling for Ya from Teen Beach Movie have the same BPM…
Can we just take a moment to realize that the first half of “Teen Beach Movie” is pretty much Mac being like “oh shit, were in a musical.” and Brady being like “oh sHIT WERE IN A MUSICAL!”

gen z can we talk about teen beach movie. unironically im pretty sure cruisin' for a bruisin' singlehandedly gave me a leather kink as a kid. they made a song entirely about being emphatically heterosexual but somehow it has the vibe of gay people doing a parody of straight culture. what a film
Grown Up Girls
In the past few years, Disney has started to rise up as an avenue for equal representation for the gay community, diversity and female empowerment. While behind the times, being the powerhouse that it is, these changes are important to note as Disney is not only a powerhouse in it’s own right, but also an international platform that hits kids at a young age.
Teen Beach Movie (2013) came out first, and in a lot of ways was a remake of Grease with the addition and explanation of feminism at different levels and circumstances. During the story, Mack (McKenzie) tries to make the point that other girls shouldn’t change for the boys in their world. Similarly, in her real world, she’s trying to figure out how to do what she wants to do when it goes against what another woman wants her to do, even if part of it is because of a boy.
The smaller but still impactful part of the movie is her boyfriend who likes her as a person and gives a small push of how boys can be feminists.
Invisible Sister (2015) stars Rowan Blanchard, a young warrior in the feminism and equality world. Along with her character in Girl Meets World, Cleo shows the longterm effects of -- but this story takes it a step further. While both sisters fight for visibility, this film digs deeper with getting to woman standing with each other and how different people can have similar struggles while similar people can have different struggles. Similar to Brady in Teen Beach Movie, in Invisible Sister Cleo learns not to judge a book by it’s cover and to dig a little deeper with her sister’s boyfriend who while not the brightest, is someone who is worthy of any warrior as he would love and marry her sister even if he could never see her again.
So while you’re late, thank you for joining the table Disney--even thou you’re currently only at the beginners level.
