You ever had that feeling where you cannot wait for something to end and feel like tearing your own eyes out? if not then I highly recommend this hour and a half orgy of neon lights, dub step, drugs, boobs and James Franco being gangsta.
My expectations going into this was fairly high reading some reviews and watching the trailer. The idea of college students looking for the thrill of spring break and a chance to go wild and party with an added twist of falling in with a drug dealer/white rapper.
* BELOW THERE MAY BE SPOILERS!! IF YOU WANT TO SEE THIS FILM DO NOT READ!!!*
I was VERY!! unprepared for the hour and a half of strung out nothingness I endured. The first half hour sets up the story of four college girls bored in their small town who want adventure and to live the spring break life (3 sluttier 1 good girl) who go to extremes in order to gain money to make it to their goal through armed robbery of a small diner which apparently has quite a lot of money in the till and the 3 wallets they get away with. Long story short the girls get to spring break cue long sequences of heavy drinking and drug use with half naked girls.
The girls get arrested and bailed out by the whitest gangsta (James Franco) Alien who talks and talks to the girls about his thug life blah blah blah more long scenes where the lines are repeated and the scenes jump back and fourth.
Big surprise the 'good girl' freaks out and goes home... bye bye leaving her three best friends with the very reliable and definitely not creepy Alien who takes the girls under his wing and back to his armory of a home where he explains how much he has.. guns, knives, Calvin Klein... the usual.
The highlight if I can call it that is when for some reason Franco decides to serenade the girls on his piano to the sound of Britney spears... cue montage of violence you thought would be a bigger part of the film but really wasn't.. this was obviously enough for some movie goers as they promptly got up and left the cinema, I really should have followed.
The final half hour of this film was even more repeating lines back and forth scenes all leading up to a climactic shootout... well a slow build up to two of the girls in glowing bikinis and pink unicorn balaclavas shooting their way into kill a man in his own hot tub (because he used to be Aliens friend but now they are rivals.... doesn't really matter). you would really think Alien would be there shooting up the place to wouldn't you? well he would have been if he didn't get shot in the head by the first guy they come across.
All in all this film probably does have a message or may be seen as some kind of arty piece but you are too bored to think or care.
