augustian Having enjoyed the American Pie type films, I sat down to watch this but was bewildered to find that it was filmed as a documentary. Actually, after watching it, I am more inclined to categorise it as Reality TV, but one has to wonder how real was this? I have long had my suspicions about the reality of Reality TV.Twenty one year old Eddie has never had sex so he and his buddies organise a Spring Break trip to Mexico to right this heinous wrong. Why Mexico? Are girls down Mexico way more willing than those at home in Colorado - or anywhere else? The cameras follow out intrepid heroes day and night, even pulling in a couple of dwarfs who, to Eddies consternation, have had more success than him. Will he find a girl willing enough or won't he? I won't reveal the ending so you will have to see for yourself if you are desperate or drunk enough.There were some funny moments in this film but not enough to even begin to redeem itself. There were the usual drunken high jinx by all concerned including the girls with their antics at the beach bars. There was no actual sex shown but the girls, who were very attractive did flash their breasts a few times but that was about it. It all seemed a bit tawdry and it still does not allay my suspicions about Reality TV.

twiz79 I can tell you just how bad this movie is. I was in the movie and I haven't seen it yet, but I cringe at the thought of anyone actually paying to see me drunk. Especially considering what we did that year. The thing is that they probably over edited it. Especially the scene where my roommate was snorting coke of the tits of a Mexican prostitute (they probably should have followed him around). We made a few come and go appearances but aside from that I can't really remember anything. I was the MC in a few scenes (from what I'm told. What I can tell you is that everyone avoided the camera crew since who wants to be remembered as the guy who threw up or the girl who showed her tits to the world (or the girl that loser lost his virginity to). Overall the trip itself was crazy but people act different once the camera is on them.

jpatrick77 This film reinvents the term "Spring Breakumentary." Hans, the fat one of the group, displays his talents as this generations Chris Farley. Johnny Kansas, "the King of the $1 bet," shows he's not in Kansas anymore by consistently upping the stakes. Kyle's laugh is truly infecting, and offers a little eye-candy for the ladies as well (as does Matt). The dwarfs, while having their moments, did not do justice to the Mexican hat dance like it deserves. And last, we have our protagonist, Ed. He gives hope to all of us bumbling, stumbling, gangly, pale folk who are still searching for that special someone. And that hope, is a little place called Cabo San Lucas. While this blockbuster just missed the theaters, this is a must rent, as we can all relate to one of these Spring Breakumentarions.

Lost_Highway This is listed as a documentary, it's not, it's filmed sort of like a documentary but that I suspect was just because then they get away with a shaky camera and dodgy filming. This has just been released in the UK on DVD as an "American Pie style comedy" it's not that either.Basically it follows around a group of teens on spring break as they go to Mexico for cheap booze and with the quest being to get there virgin friend finally laid. Throw is a couple of dwarfs, also on the same sort of quest and you have a non-hilarious tale of drunk teens trying to get some girls.Considering the 18 Rating this has very little nudity, and practically zero sex scenes, mainly I guess the rating is for swearing of which there is plenty.If you like crude Jackass behaviour without the humour, then this may be your thing, if you have any brain cells left then I would probably avoid this!
