Overview

During a glorious Southern California summer, high school student Benny King Jermaine "Huggy" Hopkins is doing time flipping burgers. Benny's father wants him to learn the work ethic, rather than have him sit around the house all summer, dreaming and writing. It's not surprising, then, that when his old friend Durrell Brian Hooks comes by with a more attractive alternative, Benny jumps at it.

They have told themselves that they are there to sell beach-goers cheap sunglasses, but they are really there to party and hit on the girls. Rap and hip-hop performer Coolio, playing himself, has a brief performance.

    best movie ever

    phat beach has to be considered one of the best motion pictures of all time. The acting and music alone make this a four star film, but with the unbelievable plot twists and amazing cinematography this movie is 5 stars.The fact that Coolio didnt win best supporting actor for his performance is a tragedy.
