Theatrically released March 22nd, 2013. The DVD & Blu-Ray followed on July 9th, 2013. Starring Selena Gomez(Faith), Vanessa Hudgens(Candy) and James Franco(Alien) to name a few.
Now to review this somewhat awkward movie. This film follows a group of 4 "besties" who want nothing more than to go spring break in St.Petersburg, FL., at any cost. It amazed me how everything spiraled into chaos so quickly. It almost felt as if big chunks of the movie were deleted or cut due to just how fast everything seemed to escalate. Once the drug dealing, "gangsta" rapping Alien, James Franco, is added into the equation, things get real strange, real quick.
SPRING BREAK!!!!!!!!!
I'm all for gratuitous violence and nudity, which there are PLENTY of. But I must say that even in the "spring break" setting, some of it seemed a little over stated. Not to mention that James Franco's portrayal of Alien, is obviously a funny carbon copy of G's and Gents fame Riff-Raff. There's just no hiding it and to be honest, I don't even think they tried to hide that fact.
Rating this movie is interesting because the characters, minus Selena Gomez aka Faith and James Franco aka Alien, are a little out there to say the least. I excluded Faith and Alien because they just were about as believable as Brittany Spears actual singing ability. I might also add, that the latter is heavily included in the movie score. Selena Gomez on the other hand, has just not developed into a believable actress, yet. I'm not saying she won't, she might(not). I'm not one to ruin or give away any of the movie, so if your looking to find out what happens so you don't have to watch it,....Sorry. That aside, I would give this movie 2.5 stars. Mainly due to the fact that even though its all a little over the top, the actors did do their jobs, again minus Selena Gomez who did not. Even though Alien is an obvious copy of Riff-Raff, James Franco really became the part. Otherwise DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT watch this movie with your parents! It will be awkward to say the least. But If your just gonna pay a buck at Redbox, hell why not. Seeing James Franco as a gangsta rappin, drug dealer with 2 little gangsta white girls (and they are rather gangsta) jumpin all over the place is worth that much! Not to mention all the fun(#BOOBS) ;)
