Powerful

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

If you're not familiar with Harmony Korine, you probably didn't like this. 9/10 because no one is perfect!A key element of his directing and writing is that he sexualizes young people. Notice I didn't say 'girls'. It's boys and girls. If you look at the breadth of his work there's an underlying theme of innocence juxtaposed with sex. I don't find this offensive, although some will. I do however, find it hard to watch at times. And when I watch his movies every single one i have a visceral reaction. I think that's the point. Korine aims to make you uncomfortable, to show you the private lives of the everyday people you see.. Now yeah, spring breakers is a gangster movie and no, i don't think my 14 yo neighbor is playing with guns. But i think this is what he's doing. Some of this is real life for people; its gritty and unbelievable and goes against all that stuff your momma taught you. And he does it so well. He presents you with something sweet and innocent, then slowly shows you truth. God i love that. I am also quite happy with his portrayal of the south FL spring break culture. I was born and raised in Clearwater...this stuff in the movie was no joke. The drugs/sex/dancing/cars/strip clubs, that's all a real south FL thing. It's not a party year round, but you can bet from March-April things get nuts (between west FL beaches and Miami's Ultra fest, you do the math). I was quite impressed with Gomez and Hudgens breaking away from Disney with a movie that is in such stark contrast from what they came from. Franco never disappoints. Just watch it, try it. It's not for everyone. In fact I think a lot of people would miss the point. But I really love the rawness that Korine brings to filmmaking and this was one of his best.

I rarely give any non-Adam Sandler movie a 1/10. But this one deserves it.If I were to summarize the movie in one sentence then it's just a lot b**b shots and no story. And it also has that Disney chick with the big head.Seems like the filmmakers only intention was to "titillate" the audience and nothing more.

This whole movie plays out like a soft core pr0n that was quickly reworked into a jail-bail plot after being rejected by theaters. Sad, because if it had stayed a pr0n, it wouldn't be known. And the worst part is, news outlets PRAISED this crap. It's literally about 4 women... glorifying everything wrong with this generation. That being said, this is the worst movie ever, on par with Asian Schoolgirls. Anyone giving this positive reviews is either a huge creep, or friends with aforementioned news outlets.

it is not your usual movie. what i liked most, was that it was showing life trough the eyes of the characters, their thoughts and dreams as they see them, no matter how stupid or wrong this is for other people. even though perverse, there is a catharsis for the characters. there is no begging and end like in fairy-tales, just life goes on with its perks. i recommend the movie if you are a fan of weird cinematography.
