    Lookit, I know the humour is lame, and the plot is standard fare, but lets call a spade a spade. When this film came out, it had no intention of setting the world on fire, or raking in hordes of Oscars...it's just a teen movie.

    I am a child of the 80s. In fact, Spring Break holds a very dear place in my heart as it was the first "R Rated" film I ever saw (I was 14 at the time) and it was merely fuel for my raging hormones, which was all it was supposed to be. There were millions of movies just like this in the 80s. However, as lame as this film could be considered, I strongly feel that the teen films we see now are far worse. At least the acting in this film is good (the actors did well with what they had to work with).

    If nothing else, it's great to watch and remember our (fleeting) youth. I just got it on video and was afraid to watch it for fear that it was much worse than I remembered (after all, it WAS 1983 when I saw it last...19 years ago!!!). I must admit that I was pleasantly surprised. What more, even through all the bad hair and a wardrobe that makes us cringe and say "What were we thinking", the girls are still very beautiful and REAL!!! Nary an implant in sight!

    Another highlight: .38 Special's "Caught Up In You" used in a great spot for the soundtrack.

    Yeah, it's another 80s teen-geek-gets-laid-and-becomes-cool flick, but it's a good one!

    Beer is like, uh............F@#kin' Great!

    Welcome to Florida!

    Maybe your last vacation was just working two jobs instead of three - now you are in Eff Ell Lay. It would be immoral not to pursue women, beer and that evil dude from the Unsafe Buildings Commission.

    Actually, the guy from the USC was really the only hole in the script. Why did he choose to join those thugs after he did the bit that he was paid off for? The rest of the film was coherent, the acting suberb (was it? I kept getting distracted by the actresses) and the beer keep flowing right along with the storyline.

    I especially liked the part where O.T. swims through the water with a knife in his teeth. Could Coppola have come up with such imagery?

    What's the opposite of funny? Watch and learn.

    As near as I can tell, this movie is about the four least funny dumbasses in the world going to Fort Lauderdale. I guess it's really not fair to say that they aren't funny, because there are no actual "jokes" per se in the film. Things happen, and the actors sort of react to everything as if they are being funny, but they're not. One guy keeps yelling, "Look at all these people! They're all having fun!" Obviously, he wasn't looking at the audience.

    I think Perry Lang here is still playing Hewitt from his quintessential seventies retards-are-people-too movie, "Hewitt's Just Different." When he is trying to convey that his character is having a good time, he dumps a cup of beer over his head and goes "AAAAAAAAAAAH!"

    There's lots of strangely homosexual undertones in this, too. You could make a good drinking game to it---each player picks a main character and has to drink every time that character does something latent, like when Paul (The Idolmaker) Land strips down to his jock in a hotel room before two guys he just met about ten seconds earlier.

    This movie is so wrong-headed it's hard to pin down every moronic moment, but the nightclub musical numbers stand out as particularly inept. Harry Manfredini must have run through a lot of double-A batteries for his Casio scoring this flick. During these scenes everyone is clapping to their own imaginary beat, which never bears even a remote resemblance to the actual one. I haven't seen this much hopelessly caucasian clapping since the last time I watched "Wild Horse Saloon."

    It's hard to believe that at one time this stuff was released in theaters, and that people stood in a line to see it. It's even harder to believe there are still people out there who love this crap (see previous user comments) without any irony whatsoever. I mean, I plan on taping it the next time it's on, but mostly because I find it endlessly entertaining to watch movies that look like they were made by people who had never seen a movie before.

    The best thing I could possibly say about this was that the lady who owned the hotel played Eddie's mom in "Diner." And I don't even know why that's a good thing. Also, if you watch it on Comedy Central, listen for when they accidentally left in an F-word when they were editing the soundtrack. Our fun-loving protagonists are in a bar and a male wet t-shirt contest is announced (oh, one of THOSE bars) and one guy asks, "What do we have to do?" His buddy shouts back, very clearly, "Who the f___ cares?" I couldn't have put it better myself.

    This is how all college guys should live!!!!!!!!!!

    SUN!!Ladies!!Beer!!! This movie shows exactly a dream life!!!!What is better than spend some days chasing girls, drinking beer and chasing more girls and drinking more beer!!!!!!!!!! i think that every guy who wants to enjoy his life should see this movie to learn how to behave during vacations!!!Only the big nerds don't like this one!!!! Please Hollywood stop making boring movies with guys searching for the love of their lives!!When you are 20 21 you don't love girls!!!You love taking them to bed and drinking all day!!!!!!!!!!!I want the 80's movies style again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Wonderful fun to watch, those of us who were there can attest to atmosphere.

    This is a wonderful film that captures so much of the early 1980's feeling at spring break, before the commercial exploitation and the cheap video cam made it a display. It is a warm film despite its attempts at gross comedy. My favorite line is OT upon reaching the motel, handed a beer he drains the entire quart and says "beer is like...f**king great". That captures the spirit of the movie. There is also a tender love story and a silly sideline about evil politicians. The love interest in the movie is one of the hottest women ever to grace the screen, and all of the characters of wonderfully funny and memorable. Ish (EESH) the bellboy at the motel,grabs a strip of satin hanging from a wall painting and shakes it "Sanitized for your protection", then says "You want anything you see eesh, you need anything you come to eesh, you get in troubles ... they work themselves out." I love this movie, as you can tell. It was what we at the time wanted spring break to be.

      None of Nelson's advice to Susie on how to play Galaga has anything to do with the real-life video game. The classic Galaga did not feature thrusters, shields, pulsars, photon blasts, hyperspace, or gamma darts.
