Spring Break : A Classic
A movie that is unfairly lumped into the early 80's genre of "college spring break hijinks" movies, Spring Break is the one that stands apart. The movie contains a veritable cornucopia of hysterical lines and exchanges, as well as (unlike most of its followers) characters you can really associate with and come to care about even. To watch the interaction between the nerdy Nelson and his jacked up buddy Adam and the ultra-cool Stu and O.T. is to watch brilliant dialogue read by fine, if unpolished, actors. Even periphery characters such as Nelson's ornery step-father ("He's wh- he's gone ? Nelson's gone !") , the lovable bellhop Eesh, and his drug delaing, van-dwelling friend ("You want pot, isn't that it ? Heheheheheh") add the the fun and excitement. This movie is funny from start to finish and surely will end up being a cult classic for generations to come.
Pure and Simple 80's Fun
This is one of the best, and most under-rated, fun movies from the 80's (right up there with Night Of The Comet.) WHY ISN'T IT ON DVD YET?? My video is wearing out. You don't even have to be a guy to enjoy this one. I'm a 35 year old wife and mom and it's one of my favorite movies of all time. Maybe it's because I never got to do the whole wild Spring Break, much less ever party in the legendary Fort Lauderdale back in it's prime... but everytime I watch this movie, it takes me back to that wonderful decade and remember how much fun it was. The movie has tons of cheesy music, yes I walk around humming "I wanna do it, do it, I wanna do it to you..." 22 years later. Corrine was hot! Whoa... even the typical 'youth overcoming the evil adult' plot works here. And only in a movie like this would Nelson get a hottie like Susie.
I guess ya just had to be there!
True, this movie was left out of the 1982 Oscars and has little in the way of redeeming qualities, but that doesn't mean it isn't worth a look. I'd recommend this to any GUY who attended college in the early '80's and experienced a good old fashioned beach week under questionable housing conditions drinking beer that you normally would have avoided at home. If you fit this description, pick up a copy of this movie. If not, don't bother, because chances are you truly wouldn't understand. No deep meanings or hidden messages here, just unchained stupidity and an attack on your sobriety, which was never the point of a beach trip anyway. Another reason I consider this movie a five star classic is the soundtrack (which I actually OWN a copy of!) Corinne Wahl, the major babe whose boobage is an unlisted co-star in this flick, is the lead "singer" for an all girl "band". Their best song is the classic "I Wanna Do It With You", and it's arguably worth the price of admission to see Corinne belt this killer tune out.
One of the best movies in the 80's.
