This movie had such great potential. If it just followed the compelling short description of the movie, instead of making that short description nearly EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS IN THE MOVIE, it would be intriguing. This was the most tedious, redundant and gratuitous movie I've seen in a very long time. I expected the gratuitous ... it opened with an extended "Girls Gone Wild" sequence. But then it showed that sequence again, and again and again, then again, and again and again! This would be a "one-star" without James Franco. Once he is introduced you are captivated by his transformation into a wannabe gangsta rapper, especially given his tame, Disney-esque acting in "Oz, the Great and Powerful." But then the tedious redundancy corrupted even his performance. The cinematography is interesting but with little plot and the unrelenting repetitiveness, even that became another irritant. If they removed all of the redundant scenes I think the movie would have been 30 minutes long.

<em>'Spring Breakers'</em>... deary me. An absolutely terrible movie! It plays out like it is attempting to be a parody of these sorta sex-infused crime movies, but as far as I can tell it's an actual attempt at one - which means it's simply cringe all the way through.
There isn't much to say about the cast, given their and the film's low quality. James Franco is rubbish, one of the worst parts I've seen portrayed. The characters of Vanessa Hudgens, Selena Gomez, Ashley Benson and Rachel Korine just go round in circles, practically.
It's a movie that attempts to show an aesthetic and tries to leave a deeper meaning. I can't personally believe that it could actually be interpreted like that, but evidently some people do see it as a success in those areas so, I guess, fair enough. For me, it's just awful.
I'll give it praise for a single scene: the one with Britney Spears' "Everytime" playing over it, that was actually fairly well done. See, I'm not a total hater.
