Saw it this afternoon.

Positives

- Let me set this straight: this is NOT some Project X type flick. It looks like one in the trailer, but this is like a indie, Terence Malick movie dressed up as a spring break film. Lots of long shots and dialogue getting repeated over and over. It's more of a critique of the MTV/Girls Gone Wild culture than an endorsement of it. It's pretty artsy.

- That said, LOTS of titties. Even if they repeat some shots of spring breakers doing spring break shyt, I didn't care.

- James Franco everything. Just when I thought the movie was starting to run out of gas, he showed up and the movie is a blast from that point on. He's fantastic, and people are gonna be quoting that "Look at my shyt" scene forever.

- James-Franco-jumping-on-the-bed-in-show-motion-crazy-face. Just about everything involving the Everytime montage, but especially that shot.

- Anything that came out of Gucci's mouth. Hilarious.

- OK, most people aren't going to care about this, but the use of bright colored lights, coupled with the Skrillex soundtrack, worked to perfection. There's this one shot of a dock lit with pink lights that's absolutely gorgeous.

- Gomez's Disney squeaky-clean image might survive after this film. Hudgens's, however, is completely finished by the end.

- The dude who led the church club in the beginning looked a lot like Double J Jeff Jarrett. #tsc

- The chicken shop robbery was a great piece of filmmaking.

Negatives (Gotta spoiler tag all of this)

- The girls. Here's what I knew about them by the end.
1) Two of them were bad girls. Two of them were not.
2) Gomez's character was named Faith because she was a devout Christian (GET IT?).
3) One of them was Britt, and I know that because they had it written on their sweatpants.

That's it. Besides that none of the girls really stood out for me, which is why the movie was starting to drag before Franco showed up.

- It doesn't make sense that Faith is friends with these girls, especially the two bad seeds. She says she's known these girls since kindergarten, but why is she surprised when one of her Christian study buddies says they're bad seeds. And I thought it was funny that she was cool with them robbing the chicken shop, but when it came to hanging out with Alien and the brothas, she was acting all scared and shyt. :lolbron:

- OK, this is the definition of a first world problem, but I didn't think the threesome was that hot. It just looked awkward and kinda cringe-worthy. I think it was the way it was filmed, but it looked like 3 people trying hard (especially Hudgens) to make a hot scene instead of a hot scene. And the girls trying to kiss Alien. :scusthov:

I should say it wasn't the hottest scene in the movie. It wasn't as hot as one of the girls writhing on the floor topless talking dirty, or the girls rolling around on the bed with the money and guns.

- The ending will piss a lot of you off. I overheard a few people leaving the theater, including my girlfriend, saying it left them cold. Me, I haven't really made a decision yet, but I'm leaning towards being cool with it.

Overall, it's a good movie. Unless you care about lighting and colors and shyt, I don't think this is something you have to see on the big screen.

8/10

I knew HK would be the only one to pull this movie off correctly :lawd:

...so what was the ending? Did the girls do something evil? Did Selena get all whorey? Did Selena get raped? Did Franco die? Did Gucci die? I'm just guessing what kind of evil ending might've happened in that movie.

the movie was good...very strange though. the way things were presented, it was very message-y. you either know who god is or anyone/anything can become god quickly

the entertainment value for me was in how crazy and raw it was...like a cross between pulp fiction and menace 2 society

ending was stupid as fukk but the sheer craziness of the movie makes it forgivable in hindsight.

Just got back from seeing this and I loved it. Not gonna spoil anything for my brehs who plan on seeing but it was highly entertaining :salute: Franco Da GAWD he had me dying the moment he was on screen. My man Jeff Jarrett had a cameo as a sort of preacher that shyt caught me off guard.
