Even a cameo by John Laroquette adds a little spice to the entire story. It's hard to call Summer Rental a throwback to the 80's brand comedies, because it was made in the mid 80's. All in all, it's not that bad. Given the brevity of this review, it's clear to say that Summer Rental doesn't make you think too hard when it comes to plot. Summer Rental doesn't look that bad, but it doesn't look that good either.
Parts look vivid and bright, but the level of artifacting leaves a lot to be desired.
Still, it's nice to see a film of this nature given the treatment, as true fans of the movie will find that it's never looked better. There will be no Dolby Digital 5.1 remaster of this movie, as it's presented in it's original mono soundtrack. Nothing more than a trailer presented in anamorphic widescreen here.
