If you want a film that asks these same tough questions, Beach Party from 1963 is actually really entertaining and predictably ridiculous.

But that was probably based on the book that the movie I talked about in this one
And of course it all derives from Catullus' famous speech "Beachicus Bonius Magnus" decrying frivolous Roman youth culture
And now I want to know more about the origin of "bucket list." That throwaway line detonated my mind.
