Uriah43 "Nelson" (David Knell) is a rich college kid whose dictatorial stepfather, "Ernest Dalby" (Donald Symington) just happens to be running for the U.S. Senate. But rather than staying around and work on his stepfather's campaign he decides to follow his best-friend's advice and go to Ft. Lauderdale for spring break. Unfortunately, when they get to their hotel they discover that there has been an error in with their reservation and find that two other young men named "Stu" (Paul Land) and "O.T." (Steve Bassett) have also been given the same hotel room. Fortunately, they soon begin to realize just how sheltered they have been which causes both Nelson and his best-friend "Adam" (Perry Lang) to not only decide to allow them to stay in their room but to also join them in their quest to seek out the opposite sex and party. What none of them realize is just how infuriated Nelson's stepfather has become when he finds out that Nelson is in Ft. Lauderdale having a good time. Because of that he has hires a shady real estate agent to find Nelson and also sends two of his own goons to bring him back. Now rather than reveal any more of this movie I will just say that this was one of many "beach movies" which sprang up in the late 70's and continued throughout the 80's. Typically, this films differ from those in the 60's due to their more explicit and crude nature. That's not a criticism necessarily but rather a simple observation. As far as this specific movie is concerned, it had its share of topless women but nothing really out of the ordinary for this particular sub-genre. The big problem with this movie was that it was just plain dull. The plot was too basic and the humor wasn't very good either. Likewise, other than Corinne Alphen (as "Joan") none of the actors really stood out one way or the other. That said, I have rated the movie accordingly. Below average.

tavm After 25 years of seeing this movie in parts on HBO, I just went on Crackle to watch this in one sitting for the first time. The plot basically concerns four roommates at a hotel-Nelson (David Knell), Adam (Perry Lang), Stu (Paul Land), and O.T. (Steve Bassett)-out to have fun. Since this was rated R, you probably know what kind of fun they're out to have. Anyway, at least two of the guys-O.T. and Nelson-have something of a romance with a stunning rock singer named Joan (Corrine Alphen) and a cute-blonde-from-next-door type named Susie (Jayne Modean), respectively. There's also an awful subplot about Nelson's politician stepfather trying to punish him but that doesn't ruin things until the last 20 minutes. Anyway, while I liked those romances I just mentioned, especially that between Susie and Nelson, I wouldn't be amiss in mentioning that the main reason I saw this then as well as now was because of the female nudity that I expected from the rating. And both times I wasn't disappointed when I watched that early scene of Stu and O.T. just wanting to bag those sexy skanks played by Nikki Fritz and Rhonda Flynn. In fact, I watched that scene of Nikki and Rhonda disrobing twice! And the funniest line came after that when either Nelson or Adam said, "Those were Playboy tits!" Most of the rest of the picture wasn't as funny though there was another amusing moment when Nelson has trouble finding Susie's hotel room after getting some Coke cans from a machine with a great underscoring from .38 Special's "Caught Up in You". Of the rest of the supporting cast, I only recognized one Richard B. Shull as some sleazeball trying to close the hotel inhabited by the cast. He wasn't very funny here unlike when I first saw him in "Splash" all those years ago. So in summation, Spring Break was no great shakes but if you're in the mood for some T & A, it fills the need.

investor21 This movie is watched best when served drunk! The idea of some average guys becoming friends and having fun and hooking up with hot chicks in Florida is a dream every average guy can appreciate. The chicks are hot and exposed - no complaint here. How about the music - if you're a fan of 80s music - you'll get your fill. This is probably one of the first movies that features an extended Wet T-Shirt contest - now how cool is that? OK, the acting mostly blows with some occasional funny lines and the plot is sub-par - but who cares!!! When your drunk, the other features of this movie are fun and cool to drink to. I give it a 10 out of 10 on the beer drinking movies rating.

queenb80 Please do not confuse this film with any other spring break movie made in the last ten years. This movie is vintage 80s and has the killer soundtrack to match. I saw it when I was a kid one late night while my parents were asleep and it's been near and dear to my heart ever since. It's about a rich kid who comes to Spring Break in search of love and adventure and finds both. Other than that it has Corrine Alpha singing, many shots of Spring Break rituals and romance. The thing that separates this film from many of the other Lauderdale flicks is that it has a heart. It's a heart that likes to flash it's breasts to the beat of "Caught Up in You" by 38 Special but it's a heart none the less. David Knell is adorable and if you blink you'll miss a great butt shot of Jeff Garlin from Curb Your Enthusiasm as a drunk guy who moons the camera. Fun for everyone.
