{{quote|''Twenty-five years ago, my parents were the most popular teenagers in America. It's true. My dad was a teen idol. Girls threw themselves at him. Unfortunately, this was 1962 and he had to throw them back. When Dad wasn't singing he spent his timelife on a surfboard. They called him [[In-Series Nickname|"The Big Kahuna"]]. When I was born, Dad wanted to call me "Little Kahuna". Luckily, he settled for Bobby. As for Mom, she joined that stupidstrange cult club called [[The Mickey Mouse Club|the Mouseketeers]]. She became the first pin-up queen for boys under 12. Anyhow, they got married and moved to Ohio right after the accident. Don't get him started on the surf accident. WeAround our house we have this nightly ritual, it's called "dinner, and then the accident story". Let me spare you this. Twenty years ago while surfing this humongous wave knocked the Kahuna right out of Dad, and he's never been the same since.''|'''Bobby''', opening lines of the film}}
 
''[[Back to the Beach]]'' is a 1987 comedy film with musical numbers, starring [[Frankie Avalon]] and [[Annette Funicello]]. The film is an open parody of the beach party movies made popular in the 1960s, especially those in which Avalon and Funicello had appeared. The plot is merely the means of connecting the various [[Sight Gag]]s, [[Homage]]s and [[In-Joke]]s. And all the character names are taken from those earlier films.
