Sun, scams, and skin: a beach bum schools three aging dads in the art of the pick-up.
HARDBODIES
If you don't know what they are, you don't know what you're missing.
Three middle-aged daddies visit California to have a marvelous time at the beach. When they learn that a nice apartment and an expensive cabriolet isn't enough for them to score with the chicks, they employ a beach bum and his sidekick to lure fit young women to their hot-tub party.
Quick Answer

Programmer's Pick
If you like your comedies sun-bleached and unapologetically raunchy, Hardbodies delivers with a wink and a nudge. Where else can you get beachside tutorials in seduction, a dog stealing bikini tops, and an all-female rock band—sometimes all in the same scene?
