classicsoncall I guess when you're in your early twenties and a college student, you're not giving much thought to the potential repercussions your actions might take in the years to come. Just like anything else that makes it into cyberspace or the internet, the principal players in this travesty will be living it down for a long time to come. Virtually all the other reviews I've read on this board are uniformly critical of this film, if that's what you can call it, and even those who find some guilty pleasure in it seem to keep it appropriately at arm's length. At least the picture gained some semblance of notoriety when it garnered a Stinker Award for the worst on-screen group in 2003 when it was released. To be quite honest, and I'm almost embarrassed to admit it, the only reason I watched it is because a cousin of mine appears in the flick, and I won't reveal his name here unless I'm forced to. Oh alright, here's a hint - his nickname describes a popular musical genre. That's all you're going to get from me.

misty_77 The Real Cancun is more of fly-on-the-wall social experiment than a movie. As such many will find it exceptionally boring - particularly those who aren't in their teens or early twenties. It's the sort of movie one can get up and leave for 10 minutes, come back, and not feel as if you've missed much.It is, however, mildly entertaining. If you're into sex, sex and more sex that is. And very pretty to look at. There are some beautiful shots of Cancun.One of the central characters - Alan - drove me nuts with his dumb obsession with seeing "boobies". If he's such a clean-cut,non-drinking geeky kinda guy why was he such an insensitive sleaze in this film? The whole "look here's a puny geek who comes of age and is accepted as a cool guy by the end of the movie" thing didn't go down to well if for no other reason than Alan really wasn't that much of a geek to start with!5/10 - *background* entertainment at best

Ed This movie (and I use the term loosely) is utterly pointless. Instead of an entertaining romp, the filmmakers have given us the longest parental advisory of all time. I am sure the families of these kids are pretty darn embarrassed (especially the parents of the twins Brittany and Roxanne ... I wouldn't be surprised if their folks took them out of college and forced them into a convent.) The situations are contrived and don't even seem real (guy comes to spring break in his glasses and never having touched alcohol and does one shot, and blammy! He's a man for the ages.) There is a young women named Sky who is very dull and only gives long "what are you talking about?" looks while we endure the most boring flirtation of all time. There are the cookie-cutter blonde girls whom you can't even tell apart who only seem interested in sex and wear cheap eye shadow (and one of them actually says, "I thought you were different.") The guys are supposed to be studly, but are just wretched (one of them clearly tweezes and shapes his eyebrows) and don't get me started on the guy who is an aspiring model; he comes across as one of the most disgusting of them all. Instead of being light-hearted, this is a depressing movie to be avoided at all costs.

richard cavellero People should take a step back and realize this film for what it is and enjoy it. Now I was pratically dragged into seeing this flick. but I must say I was pleasently suprised. i didn't find it good by any means. But it was extremely funny and brought back a lot of wild memories. To be enjoyed you should know what your going to see a film that was made this year and released two months later about spring break Cancun style. Thats all. It has nothing to say about sybolism, or our society, about relationships, friendships or anything. This is a part of these peoples lives, just a fragment really. Your only seeing a couple days and a wild enjoyable couple days it is.
