'Spring Breakers' plays like an extended party music video at first, but the atmosphere slowly dissolves into darker territory. What follows are the exploits of four young college girls as they delve into destructive behavior. The film is mostly concerned with visuals and maintains it's flashy music video look and editing through the entire running time. However, it's intentions contain some merit, because the girls face serious consequences for their actions and are forced to consider a change in lifestyle. My only gripes are the film's overall style, the repeating voice-over that happens often, and the fact that it all boils down to sex, money, drugs and guns. These things gave me a feeling of detachment. |

This movie surprised me. It was really good, the best movie i have seen so far in 2013. It has been an admittedly bad year for movies though. It's really funny, James Franco is funny as hell. The other actresses are surprisingly good as well. Somehow, this turned out to be a really good movie. |

Spring Break forever. |
|
Spring Breakers will bomb at the box-office. Mainstream audiences and crowds of teens looking for mindless entertainment will hate it. But for film goes who truly appreciate film as art, visual storytelling over linear A-B-C plots, and especially Harmony Korine fans, will love this. This is probably Korine's greatest film since Gummo or Julien-Donkey Boy, and might be the best film he's ever made. The cast is great all around (which I was surprised by) but it's Franco who really takes the cake (or smashes your face into it.) He's goes all the way into a fearless, funny, scary, and unforgettable performance. Ultimately, Spring Breakers is a hypnotic visual feast with a lot more on its mind than boobs and bikinis, though there is certainly a lot of that as well. If you are a fan of Kor... |

Spring Breakers is A Lot Smarter the it Looks |
|
This is probably the best movie I’ve seen so far in 2013 so far (as of 3/22/13.) not a perfect picture by any means, but I give it the 3.5 just because it feels like a movie someone went and made, not because they wanted to make money, but because they wanted to make a movie, and that’s worth celebrating.
The movie walks the line between parody and serious crime drama. It parodies the ideals of the recent generations, a young woman talks about spring break as if it is a life changing event while we see crowds of college students partaking in every sort of debauchery imaginable. It doesn’t make the party culture look glamorous or sexy; it just makes it look meaningless and even kind of disturbing at times. The drama aspects come in the form of the crimes the girls get into in order ... |

This movie serves as a vehicle to shed squeaky clean Disney images for Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens. This kind of film did wonders for Anne Hathaway. I have a good feeling that it will boost the lackluster box office intakes of recent weeks. |

I will definitely see it, not because of (well not only because of) the scantily clad women, but because it is the latest from director Harmony Korine. Korine is a talented director who I'm pretty sure is insane. even if Spring Breakers is bad, It'll at least be interestingly bad. |

Surprisingly this movie has one of the best per-theater openings of all time - it opened in just three theaters but had a massive $90,000 per theater average (good enough for 22nd all time). Could mean that when it opens wide next week, it might do a lot better than I would expect. |

It has scantily clad young women and James Franco - of course it's going to be terrible but something tells me that guys will still want to watch it. Hey, at least this is one movie that pretty much spells out what it's trying to accomplish right up front. |

This movie can't possibly be good. It is labeled a "comedy", but it's a comedy for different reasons than what the producer intended, that's for sure. Rated R with Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens? Wonder what they're trying to accomplish? |
