Black Spring Break 2: The Sequel

There are plenty of low budget "minority" films available. And this is a sequel to it's Freshman "Black Spring Break"...But, don't think it's all about African American women getting drunk and exposing themselves on the beaches during their vacations or going wild at parties. This project has something a lot of other "low budgets" don't...a decent plot and a message. It's about what you take from the film once you've seen it that makes it worth watching. Granted, it IS an independent low budget film, and at times it is blatantly obvious it is...However, "Black Spring Break 2", aside from being cute, funny, and light hearted teaches a lesson, if you just pay attention to "the message". There are plenty of chuckles from some young up and coming comics, some creative writing and once you get into the movie (if you allow yourself to be entertained...and forget about the "quality" of some of the shots, lighting and camera angles...you'll find that it's really pretty decent. It's too bad that there aren't more film makers out there that use this vehicle film)to teach something positive. The writers, producers, and director of this movie DID.

Throughout the course of history, many things have been crafted in the interest of making life better for man kind. Some have made life easier for us all, like plumbing or electricity. Other creations have entertained us and may have enlightened our souls. Great works of art for instance… Even certain films have bought joy to many peoples lives and I can confidently state that "Black Spring Break 2: The Sequel" must be the excrement of those previously mentioned accomplishments.

Not to be negative, but fun is fun, and this movie is about as fun as being a chunk of human cheddar in a giant cheese grater.

I won't knock anybody for lack of budget. If the movie doesn't look up to the "Hollywood" standard, that's fine… As a matter of fact, that IS what independent film-making is all about; being able to express an original idea without having to conform to the pre conceived ideas of the establishment. I'm all for that! That's what keeps the industry on it's toes. But this film is the reason why the studios don't just hand out money for a new point of view. This very film. If I had to argue a case for my opinion in a hypothetical court of law, I would have only one piece of evidence at my disposal… this pitiful, meandering, dysfunctional, detestable pile of wasted DV tapes.

Sorry, I really needed to get that out of my system. I figured that since the folks that put together this little pearl in an ocean of cinematic medical waste, tortured me with over an hour of meaningless plot, achingly bad acting, amateur editing and worst of all wretched, wretched sound, that the least I could do, be constructive. Note to the crew: If you're going to film at the beach, use directional mikes, so you don't pick up as much of the waves crashing, and instead, maybe a touch more of the dialogue. Don't get me wrong, the dialogue wasn't worth hearing anyway, but at least maybe if you recorded it right I wouldn't have to strain to find out it was written by children, on toilet paper. On the visual front, it was obviously digital. Like I've stated earlier, I don't fault people for a low budget. You get the best camera you can afford, and you dive in. But for future reference, before you dive in, maybe you should lean how to focus the camera properly. Perhaps you could even figure that tricky exposure button out, too… That's only if you get the chance, let's work on one problem at a time here, and for now the problem is the focus. Concentrate.

O.K., now that you got that down, I'll leave the filmmakers alone and focus on the real villains at the Starz network. At some point, a man in an office received this film, viewed it, I'm assuming in its entirety, and then traded good, real money for the "right" to unleash it on an innocent planet, which did nothing to harm him. Or maybe it did. Maybe whoever purchased this opus was so distraught by a world that shunned him that he decided to set loose this terrible scourge on the rest of his fellow humans. I doubt that's what did it, but at least it's a theory, and unfortunately it's the only one that I have on why, why, oh god why this travesty was aired. In conclusion: This film will cause nausea, dizziness and a serious bout of general malaise. Avoid at all costs, or suffer consequences.

This movie is a must see for all people. It is highly quotable, so much so that those who have not seen it might be left out of some social situations where it is referenced. I can see this happening many times per day. The beach pimp has the performance of his career, and southboy gives his standard award worthy performance. In fact, if I were giving awards when this movie came out, this would have swept them. Award winning movies need that one breathtaking scene to clinch it, and although this movie had about 20 of those scenes, the fireworks on Greg's big night moved me nearly to tears of joy for being able to experience this work of art. Don't be left out! Watch and enjoy the greatest piece of cinematic art since BSB 1.

this movie is everything i inspire to be when i become a movie producer. It is almost like when you are stuck inside a black dark desalt cave with little oxygen, and one day you venture outside and you see the light. That is one of the first things that came to mind when i saw this movie. The girl that plays south boys love she is fine i cant find a single flaw with her. Thats the only thing wrong with this movie is that i can not take her home with me. The movie does a lot of beach scenes and when boy finally gets laid and the fireworks went off i felt like standing up and cheering i was so proud. I would definitely recommend this for everyone to view it is one of the better movies out there.
