Purely Joyful Movie!

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

"Spring Break Adventure" is a welcome return to form for "The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones". The Princeton sequences, with Sean Patrick Flannery now playing Indy, brilliantly recapture the feel of the early scenes of "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade", as Indy outdoes a treacherous scientist before taking lovely girl (Robin Lively) to the prom.Even better is the Mexico sequence with Indy donning his trademark fedora hat and joining in the Mexican revolution, riding with Pancho Villa (Mike Moroff) and meeting Remy (Ronny Coutteure) who will become his companion as they head off into the sunset to join the Belgian army fighting in World War I.Also keeping in with the movies, Indy has the chance to settle an old score as he reclaims an Egyptian relic stolen that he witnessed being stolen in a previous adventure.A great and much needed kick in the pants for the DVD adventures of Young Indiana Jones.

Back when having a car was about as rare as three-legged ballet dancer Indy aims to impress everyone at school by turning up to the prom in a Bugatti race-car and put tormentor Butch to shame. His girlfriend's dad is Edward Stratemayer (the guy who created the Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew and Tom Swift) and promises to loan him the Bugatti until the engine fails. Desperate to get it fixed in time Indy takes it to Edison Industries to have the guys in the science lab fit a new electric battery into it.But since the oil company's are such a fiendish bunch they steal the plans for the battery and trash the lab, leaving Indy to rescue them on his own if he wants to make an impression at the prom.In the second half Indy travels to Mexico with his cousin to have a good time in a whorehouse but he is kidnapped by a bunch of Mexican Revolutionaries and pressured into fighting for their cause. He gets to meet Pancho Villa, trash William Randolph Hearst's mansion south of the border and antagonize General Patton. In the end he just wants to go home but not before getting revenge on Demetrius, the baddie who eluded him six years earlier in Egypt.A solid adventure with a good cast, though it's weird seeing Lloyd Owen still play the Connery role since his is one year YOUNGER than Flannery who plays his son. It works though...somehow.

I enjoyed this Young Indiana Jones Chronicle. It has one of my favorite commentaries on revolutions. When Indy is taking chickens away from a Mexican man, he tells the man that this is for the good of Villa's army. Indy says that Villa will bring the people out of drudgery, slavery, etc. The Mexican man replies that he once was young and believed such things. He had joined a revolutionary movement when he was younger. The man still had his chickens taken. He said that revolutions come and go. All that changes is the name of the man who steals his chickens. I believe that this is a brilliant commentary on revolutions in general. I will always enjoy watching this Young Indiana Jones Chronicle just for that small speech.

...seems to start out a little slow, but then it gets going toward the end. Spring Break adventure combines Indy's first adventure at home in NJ and then it starts off an entirely new adventure in Mexico with Pancho Villa. Remy is introduced for the first time, and Indy first learns what war is all about. All in all, I think it was a good movie to start out the older young Indy with Flannery.
