I guess you have to be a connoisseur of French Eurosleeze cinema to appreciate the finer points of this piece of fluff (if there are any) but if you're not a connoisseur of the genre, and are coming to this looking for any kind of eroticism, intrigue, comedy, character development, entertainment skilful editing, or even continuity (I counted a triple action at one point) then this isn't the film for you.
Two annoying perky, irresponsible young women accidentally blag a trip to Morocco when one of them is fired after being caught stripping off in the Boss's office. The girls hang around the pool a lot, flirt with the boys, and have 'comedy moments' - we know they are comedy moments because everyone laughs. Everyone laughs at everything in this film. All the time. My French is not perfect but even I could tell they weren't laughing at the witty dialogue. Every line is delivered through a wide smile or a sullen sulk which can be switched on and off like a light bulb. The girls take their tops off a lot. There is a lot of bad 70s dancing, and a pointless driving around on motorbikes sequence which just goes on forever (because they'd hired the bikes for the day and wanted to get as much production value out of a major chunk of the budget?). The most fun to be had here is watching passing pedestrians standing around, watching the filming some of them torn between looking at the semi-naked actors and looking into the camera - even in places like the poolside of the hotel where you would have thought keeping the set clear would have been pretty easy there is often a wandering bemused tourist in shot screwing up the continuity.
