An average movie

To be honest, I thought it was rather difficult to judge this movie. Indeed, on one hand, half of it was fairly interesting but,  on the other hand, the other half was pretty much some exploitative garbage. And, yet, maybe that was the whole point of Harmony Korine, to make a movie which was really trashy and even pretty bad. In this case, the damned thing was actually successful but was it really something interesting to watch? I'm not so sure. It is like the title, I thought it was rather misleading. Indeed, at least a 3rd of the movie had nothing to do with spring break as it was about the girls getting acquainted with some gangster played by James Franco who gave here his weirdest performance so far. Concerning the 3 most famous girls of the group (Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Benson), I thought it was pretty obvious that they didn't care much for the material and that they got involved mostly to shake up their squeaky clean image. Would it have been better if they had made something more straightforward? Once again, I have my doubts. Furthermore, it didn't help that the characters would keep repeating their lame dialogues as if they were some kind of mantras. Anyway, to conclude, I'm still not sure what to make of the damned thing and even though I didn't care much for it, I guess it is still worth a look, especially if you don't mind to watch something really trashy.
