Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

tinmantn This was a movie that I first saw in my mid teens and has remained one of my favorites. It has everything you could expect from an 80's movies. Average script, average acting, great one liners, memorable scenes and lines................and LOTS of women. The soundtrack was awesome and it's one of those movies you can watch over and over and not get tired of it. Also, I am curious if anyone knows the name of the blonde girl that Stu pulls on stage during the wet he-shirt contest. She is not one of the main characters, but appears multiple times during the movie.....most of the time with Stu. I wrote this because I just watched this movie for the first time in years and realized that I never did find out that blonde girls name. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

BA_Harrison Having already made a mint from his seminal slasher Friday the 13th, director Sean S. Cunningham leaves Crystal Lake and heads for the sunnier climes of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to try his hand at that other money spinning genre of the '80s, the sexy teen comedy. Assembling a cast of nobodies, Cunningham tells the tale of two virginal college dorks, Nelson and Adam (David Knell and Perry Lang), who hope to 'get lucky' during spring break. Forced to share a room with cool guys O.T. and Stu (Steve Bassett and Paul Land), who have no problems with the ladies, the nerds learn how to party hard and eventually score with the opposite sex. Meanwhile, Nelson's douche-bag of a stepfather (Donald Symington) is on the warpath, fearing that his political career will be adversely affected by his stepson's carousing.Spring Break is—I am sure most will agree—not a great film, but it is mindlessly fun while it lasts. The guys' drunken antics are bound to put a smile on the face of anyone who has done dumb stuff while under the influence, as will the endless tirade of fit young bodies in skimpy swimming attire (both sexes are catered for, although the emphasis is undeniably on attractive, well-endowed women). The film's crazy antics include a drunken belly flop competition, a wet t-shirt contest, a wet he-shirt contest, and partying hard to an all-female rock group fronted by Penthouse Pet Corinne Alphen. The film's most memorable scene involves Nelson accompanying willing hottie Susie (Jayne Modean) to her hotel, but failing to remember her room number after he goes to get a couple of Cokes. Frustrating, to say the least, but at least he gets to pick up where he left off the next day.

afirebird I literally lived 2 blocks from where this movie was filmed for almost a year.It was good to see SUMMERS again,where some of this movie was filmed,and I spent lots of time while blowing a ton of money on an extended vacation back in 83,as well as in Penrod's,the Candy Store,The Button,and the Elbo Room.The Elbo room was still there last time I went to Ft.Liquordale a few years back,but I think the rest have been replaced or removed.I believe "the Breeze&Seas" was a building directly in back of Summers across the street.It was fun to watch this last night seeing those places again,because the last time I went there,the place was nearly unrecognizable.Lots of building going on there.All of this pretty much took place before Ft.Lauderdale decided to run spring break out of town,where it re-spawned in Panama City beach.That double-selling of rooms happened a lot back then!

S.R. Dipaling I'm hardly going to be the one to excoriate the makers of 1980s sex-fueled quasi-comedies for their work. Sure,these films were about as easily forgotten as the heaps of bad slasher flick sequels and wanna-bes that ALSO populated the cinemas over(mostly)the summers of that era. I mean,to be sure,I probably watched quite a few of these films,albeit on cable or on video,and I know I got exactly what I wanted out of them:cheap laughs and some eyefuls of fine looking,supple young female bodies.But I suppose my biggest gripe with this particular film is that it seemed like the makers of this film really weren't concerned AT ALL with anything BUT the sex scenes,wet T-shirt contests and the beach shots of anonymous hot bodies. The actual comedy that it purportedly tries to convey is so much an afterthought that the gags and punchlines seem forced and embarrassing to the actors involved in them.The story here(As if it needs much explaining)is where a young stepson(David Knell) of a local politician(Dobald Symington),who,along with another clean-cut rich buddy friend(Perry Land)go out,beyond the wishes of the politician step-dad,and head for Fort Lauderdale,Florida. Once there they share a hotel space with two near-Neanderthal college dudes(PAul Land and Steve Bassett,a little TOO convincing at it)who decide to show their outsider roomies a good time. NAturally,the two clean lads will find love instead of instant sex(though they'll find THAT too;remember,this IS the '80s)in the arms of hot-yet-sympathetic lasses played by Corinne Wahl and JAyne Modean. Veterna actor Richard Schull is there as a private detective dispatched by the politico to track his stepson,but is truly there as a punchable,doofy comic foil.Director Sean S. Cunningham,probably more famous for directing the first and ninth in the Friday the 13th series(among other films),helms this pic and looks pretty unfamiliar with comedy in this effort. I came away more obsessed with the hot bods,like Wahl,Modean,one day up-and-coming starlet Nikki(then Bobbi)Fritz and Rhonda Flynn,than I was with most of the people in this flick. Worth a look for the light,sun-kissed sex content and not much more,which,when you consider the movie poster,the title and the plot summary is probably all that it intends to be.
