In the first place, an amateur could edit this down to about 20 minutes without missing a single point in the "plot" of this movie.
4 girls go on spring break. One is a good girl, the other 3 are bad girls who rob a store to get the money to go. Somehow, these amateur college girl armed robbers get away with the crime and use the money to go on spring break. While there they get busted for possession and then bailed out by gangster/rapper/drug dealer "Alien" played by James Franco who utilizes a horrid and wavering Florida White Trash accent. The good girl leaves the party to go back home. The other three are then threatened by Alien's rival and one is shot in the arm. She leaves. The other two along with Alien vow revenge. We hear phone conversations between the girls and their parents where they say they had an "amazing" time and how "this had made them want to be the best person they can be" The two remaining girls and Alien board a cigarette boat, go to the gangster's home wearing bikinis and ski masks, Alien is killed immediately, and the two college girl/spring breakers armed only with handguns (and no place to keep a spare clip), kill an entire house full of armed criminals including Alien's main rival in a surreal scene shown to a soundtrack full of black light effects. That one scene is actually kind of a cool scene, as improbable as it is, but still highly ridiculous.
The final scene shows them driving off in the rival drug dealer's Lamborghini.
That's the plot. I'm not sure what it is supposed to mean, if it is supposed to mean anything at all.
Outside the plot are various scenes of spring break partying, drug use, and one scene where Franco fellates the silenced handguns of two of the girls. It made me cringe, but was memorable. Overall the movie is just slow. Lots of scenes of the Florida sunset and palm trees overlaid with Franco/Alien's horrid accented voice saying in a half whisper "Spring Break, Spring Break, Spriiing Breaaaak Foreveeerr".
I'm all for movies without a real point, and done stylistically, so long as they don't become plodding and boring along the way. This one does, as though we will be treated to some kind of a point. No point here. A few party scenes, some naked breasts, some drug use, some gun play, but no real plot and not enough "fun" to make the movie worthwhile. Either make it fun and pointless or have a point at the end. This movie is boring and pointless.
