Spring Break is to me what Taco Bell, 401K and Glee Club
are. They are words and ‘things’ which exist in America but mean nothing on this
side of the pond. Everything I know about the items, events and shops above,
I’ve learned from the movies. I have literally no idea what a 401K is though.
So the concept of the Spring Break is something that is not entirely alien to
me but my only contact with it has come through the likes of Piranha 3D and Friends. Spring Breakers
makes it out to be pretty much what I expected; an alcohol fuelled holiday for
slags and nob heads to gyrate through while getting mashed off their tits to
terrible music.
Spring Breakers is
about four college girls, played by Vanessa Hudgens, Selena Gomez, Ashley
Benson and Rachel Korine who desperately want to go to Florida for Spring Break but can’t afford
to. While Faith (Gomez) is at Church one night, the other three decide to mask
up and rob a takeaway. With money to burn the foursome head down to sunnier
climes where the bikinis are small and the booze keeps flowing. They soon find
they get into trouble with the law though and get bailed out by a suspiciously
friendly drug dealer turn rapper called Alien (James Franco).
