Plot Synopsis:
-------------------

The gang of Bayside goes to Oahu, Hawaii for two weeks of R&R during the summer. Meanwhile, the principals of L.A. are taking a tour of Hawaii and their leader is none other than Mr. Belding. While at the airport, Lisa bets Slater and Jessie $50 each that they can't get along without fighting for two weeks. Also at the airport Zack meets Andrea Larson, a 22-year-old citizen of Hawaii, and it's love at first sight for Zack. But when her boyfriend, Derek Worthington, picks her up, Zack doesn't think that he'll ever see her again.

The gang stays at the Hideaway Hotel which is run by Harry Bannister, Kelly's grandfather. Mr. Belding stays with the other principals at the fancier Royal Pacific. Harry tells the gang that he may have to sell to the Royal Pacific for their expansion because they have driven away the other guests and put him out of business. The gang helps him by becoming his volunteer staff, and they spend the rest of the day on the beach.

The next morning on the beach, Screech and Lisa are kidnaped by members of the local Pupuku tribe and are brought to their village near the Hideaway. The tribesmen tell Screech that he is their new chief. Apparently over 100 years ago, their chief Monaleo told them that his descendant will save them whenever there is a crisis, and the statue of Monaleo looks a lot like Screech. The tribe is afraid that the Royal Pacific will steal their land and build on it. But they have no deed to prove they own the land.

Meanwhile, Zack comes with a plan to get more business for the Hideaway. The gang goes over to the Royal Pacific dressed as Royal Pacific staff and give terrible service to the principals of Mr. Beldings group. Slater impersonates a clumsy waiter, while Jessie pretends to be a rude German-accented maid, Kelly and Lisa pose as lifeguards who yell "shark" to the beach guests, and Zack and Screech are two goofy Wayne and Garth type exterminators. After hearing of the complaints from the group, Mr. Belding (on the advice from Zack) decides to move his group to the Hideaway.

While at the Royal Pacific, Zack sees Andrea there. She is the activities director and her boyfriend Derek, is the son of the ruthless owner Charles Worthington.

Later, Harry's lawyer, Brian Hanson, hits on Kelly and they get very close immediately while the gang tries to appease Mr. Beldings' tour group. Zack and Screech take a bunch of them out on a boat trip, but the boat runs out of gas. But Andrea suddenly appears on a speedboat passing by and gives them a tow back to land. Slater tries to demonstrate the Hawaiian fishing techniques, Kelly and Lisa attempt to teach hula lessons, and Jessie is stuck in the kitchen. When Jessie accidentally burns the ham they plan to serve, the Pupukus show up with a pot of stew for Screech and the gang serves it instead.

A few days later, Brian takes Kelly out on his boat for a trip around Oahu. Here, Brian convinces Kelly that Harry selling the Hideaway is probably her grandfathers best interest.

Meanwhile, Jessie, Slater and Screech take Belding and his group in a minibus for the ride to the Cultural Center, where Lisa is already there, shopping the day away. But they get lost in the jungle and they end up with the bus getting stuck in the mud, once again throwing verbal volleys against each other.

Zack and Andrea are spending a lot of time together on the beach, and he's falling in love with her. She then introduces him to her four-year-old daughter Jennifer. Zack gets along great with Jennifer and he and Andrea get even closer.Meanwhile, Kelly (on Brian's advice) convinces her grandfather to sell the hotel.

At a luau that night, Screech brings the Pupuku tribe members over and there is a major turnout for Mr. Belding's tour group who like the events. Harry tells Kelly that after seeing the turnout, he won't sell after all no matter how bad business gets for him. After the luau, Lisa overhears Brian talking on his portable phone to Charles Worthington about a loan extension. Brian turns out to be working for Worthington, who is out to hurt Harry by making him lose everything.

The next day the gang comes up with a plan: Mr. Belding poses as a elderly professor of Polynesian culture at the university and Zack makes a fake deed to the land of the Pupukus to give to Brian. Then Slater and Screech sneak into Mr. Worthingtons office dressed as maintenance men who secretly set up Screech's video camera in the room. The camera captures Brian, Charles and Derek Worthington burning the deed. The next day, at the proposed demolition of the Hideaway, Zack shows the tape to Worthington who then backs down from buying the Hideaway and the Pupuku land in fear of exposure to his ruthless plans. Andrea quits her job at the Royal Pacific when she finds out what jerks Derek and his father are, and Kelly punches Brian in the face.

The next day, it's time for the gang to leave. Harry offers Andrea a job as his new manager, and the Pupukus become his new staff. But Zack is heartbroken about leaving Andrea and Jennifer behind. He tells her that he will move to Hawaii as soon as he graduates. Andrea tells Zack that it would not be a good idea and everything will work out with her and Jennifer remaining at the Hideaway. And of course, Jessie and Slater lose the bet to Lisa who walks away with $100. The gang and Mr. Belding fly back to California.

I had never really liked the show until one day I was watching an episode of Knight Rider and I had seen it about 100 times so I took a chance on Saved By The Bell. Best move I ever made I fell in love with the show ever since I have all the episodes on tape as well as all the movies. I didnt really like the show after the original cast left but it was OK still. I actually prefer Wedding in Las Vegas to this one but I still highly recommend this one. It does the show justice.

Saved by the Bell: Hawaiian Style was a TV film that was mainly shot due to the show's popularity. Who can blame the writers? I mean you know that all the fans would go crazy over watching this film, we have the whole gang here on the vacation in Hawaii. Now, there are a few things that irritate me quite a bit about this film, Zack once again just falls in love so easily with a girl, so it makes for a lame love story. The acting as usual is pretty bad, the jokes from the series are being over used, and the whole cast just didn't look comfortable together like they did on the show. The story itself is just awkward and too scooby doo.

Zack, Slater, Screech, Kelly, Jesse, and Lisa come to Hawaii for vacation and stay with Kelly's grandfather at his Hawaiian hotel, The Hidaway. But they quickly learn that Mr. Worthington is trying to buy out Kelly's grandfather to expand his hotel chain. It's not too difficult since her grandfather's hotel isn't getting any business. But Mr. Belding is also on vacation, big coincidence, huh? He's in Hawaii with a bunch of principals and brings his guests over to the Hidaway when the gang tricks them into going. In the mean time, Screech is also the God of a tribe who is supposed to save their land, and they just might when the gang finds out some evil secrets about Kelly's grandfather's lawyer.

Saved by the Bell: Hawaiian Style is a cute film, but it wasn't in any way as good as the series. Like I said, the little stories within the film were just typical and nothing special. The love stories between Zack and Jennifer and Kelly and Brian were just too ridicules and actually made me laugh more than say "aww". For fans of the series, I know they'll wanna check out, please feel free, but I was never a big fan of this film. I just could have survived without another Scooby Doo adventure of the gang, but I guess just a regular normal vacation would've been a boring film.

4/10

This movie was kinda sweet. I enjoyed this movie because I am a Saved by the Bell fan, but...I've never seen so many stereotypes of Hawaii in my life. Besides changing the geography of the island and making locals seem like dorks, there were hardly any locals in the movie. Majority of the cast were white and I did not see a hint of real Hawaiian culture. It was just cheesy.

Besides the cheese though, I did like the antics of the gang. Their adventures were quite entertaining. This is a good movie if you just want mindless fun and do not actually expect to see or learn anything about Hawaii.

(Plot) Kelly's grandpa invites the gang to come stay at his hotel in Hawaii. They have a wild time in store for themselves, without Belding or anything else that resembles school. Unfortunately for them, Mr. Belding happens to be there, and they have to deal with an evil capitalist that wants to take over to build a new apartment complex.

I'm a huge Saved by the Bell fan. I own everything to do with SBTB, except for the "New Class" I even own this one, but I can't lie. This is really awful stuff. My main problem with this one is there is no passion behind it. Saved by The Bell wasn't rocket science, but they were extremely fun, and had good messages behind them. This one tries to go for the heavy message, but it just comes across as very awkward and silly. All the fun is really sapped out of this one. Is it just me? Or does Mark-Paul Gosselaar look suspiciously big here? I'm a big fan of Mark's, but it made me raise my eyebrows a bit. It just feels otiose for the most part, and lacks the entertainment something with SBTB should. The subplot between Zack & Andrea (Rena Sofer) and her kid attempts to be moving, but I garnered zero emotion out of it. Even looking at Tiffani Thiessen in a bikini gets old.

Final Thoughts: Watch it once if you're a die hard SBTB fan like I am, and then forget it even exists!
