Three women vacation together at a popular travel destination for college co-eds on spring break.
Three middle aged friends head to San Padre for Spring Break on the whim of a senator who seeks to keep her daughter out of trouble as she is being vetted for the vice presidency. Her daughter is a nerdy renaissance maiden who leads her mom to believe she's a wild party girl, but when her boyfriend breaks up with her for a woman with looser morals, she decides to be that girl to get him back. As the women become caught up in the popularity and debauchery of Spring Break in San Padre, They start to lose themselves and each other, but by the end, they realize that being popular and pretty is a crutch and being smart and self assured will get you more respect in life.
End of the day, Spring Breakdown is an empowerment comedy. What happens when regular girls go wild? Nothing different. Except in the end, they learn to be happy with themselves. Somehow they pull this off without beating you over the head with it and that works. The "southern" accents were annoying, but didn't hurt the film too much. Plus Amy Pohler and Amber Tamblyn? How can you ignore that?
Out of Ten? 5.5
Not the greatest, but not the worst. Had its moments, but isn't a must see. Violence? Girl on Girl Salsa Fighting
Explosions? No
Nudity? No
