Spring Breakers


Spring Breakers tells the story of four sexy college girls as they plan to fund their spring break getaway by burglarizing a fast food shack. But that's only the beginning... At a motel room rager, fun reaches its legal limit and the girls are arrested and taken to jail. Hungover and clad only in bikinis, the girls appear before a judge but are bailed out unexpectedly by Alien (James Franco), an infamous local thug who takes them under his wing and leads them on the wildest Spring Break trip in history. Rough on the outside but with a soft spot inside, Alien wins over the hearts of the young Spring Breakers, and leads them on a Spring Break they never could have imagined.

How in the blue hell did this movie get such raving reviews.  I watched the trailer and couldn't for the life of me understand how the reviews I was hearing were paired with this movie.  I thought maybe it was a great movie that was just pushing the 'girls gone wild" and drug/thug angle to pull in that audience too.  I was wrong.  And so were all the great reviews.   It is nothing more than a "girls gone wild" and drug/thug themed movie with James Franco playing an incredibly annoying character and the direction, while trying to be artsy, really only accomplished being annoying.

I wouldn't recommend anyone checking this movie out.  It was a giant turd and a complete waste of time based on moronic critics praising it for some completely unknown reason.
