If you can rock around the clock, you can certainly twist, and if you're not going to knock the rock, don't knock the twist. That's pretty much it for this silly twisted musical remake of a 1956 "snobs vs. The swingers" film where "Never in all my born days" and "Well, I never!" takes the squares with round bodies all of 80 minutes to learn that there's nothing wrong with using the rhythm God gifted our feet and hips with. This is basically a miniscule reuse of a plot that has been recycled more times than a coca-cola bottle, and obviously impacted by wear and tear.
The rock has apparently rock has apparently knocked itself off the charts so a new trend is needed, and it's found at a dance in a small town. An absolutely absurd premise, but that's what we've got. A band hired for a fundraiser run by the very round square Barbara Morrison has high society up in arms, that is until someone dared to go out on the dance floor and soon everybody else is following. For the most part, the actors really don't matter, but the singing groups really, and you've got Chubby Checker, Dion and the Marcels. Fans of "Green Acres" will recognize Alvy Moore. Another quickie teen musical from Sam Katzman where critical reaction didn't matter and most audiences only perked up for the songs. Some of the cast came back for the sequel, although Morrison played quite a different role.
