Brief
Description: Four college girls who land in jail after robbing a restaurant in order
to fund their spring break vacation find themselves bailed out by a drug
and arms dealer who wants them to do some dirty work.
Oh my…
Although I think that Selena and Vanessa can kiss their Disney careers good-bye, Selena does a very good job of portraying a Christian teenager named Faith who struggles with the situation she finds herself in once she arrives in Florida with her three friends who act more reckless than she does. But Selena recently won`a 2013 Kids’ Choice Award for her role as Alex in Wizards of Waverly Place and she currently has three projects in Pre/Post Production, so this questionable role may not hurt her acting career at all.
The Director, Harmony Korine, who also wrote the screenplay, at the age of 19 wrote the critically acclaimed screenplay Kids for director Larry Clark. His wife, Rachel, also has the role of one of the main college students in this film.
Even though this movie makes it look like every college student who goes to Florida for Spring Break spends all their time indulging in sex, drugs, and rock & roll, I don’t think that’s true because I just returned from spending five days in Navarre Beach, Florida with my teenage daughter and her friend.
I also remember when I went on my first trip to Florida in the summer of 1981 with several of my sorority sisters and friends and we didn’t knock over a fast food restaurant and do drugs with random strangers while we were there!
James Franco’s character is named Alien. Enough said.
