It's about the residents in beachfront flats that are trying to sort out their lives, and empty lifestyle problems, while a Malibu restaurateur wants to assemble his own volleyball team - hoping this will attract more custom. There's a glam cast of shallow characters: a computer nerd, gay black guy, reclusive supermodel, lonely chick, slumming rich kid, single-mum with nightclub singer ambitions, middle-aged entrepreneur, etc... and the leisurely pace tends to avoid having too much actually happen at once.
Van Dien is generally tolerable as the womanising slacker who's secretly heir to an international business empire (Elliott Gould has a cameo as his dad), Jack Scalia lurks threateningly in the background as a jealous stalker, and the action climax of an inadvertent kidnapping provides a neat mistaken-identity plot twist but, in all honesty, this is rarely more interesting than an episode of BayWatch.
DVD extras: behind the scenes footage, two trailers, star biographies.
