This was a movie that I first saw in my mid teens and has remained one of my favorites. It has everything you could expect from an 80's movies. Average script, average acting, great one liners, memorable scenes and lines................and LOTS of women. The soundtrack was awesome and it's one of those movies you can watch over and over and not get tired of it. Also, I am curious if anyone knows the name of the blonde girl that Stu pulls on stage during the wet he-shirt contest. She is not one of the main characters, but appears multiple times during the movie.....most of the time with Stu. I wrote this because I just watched this movie for the first time in years and realized that I never did find out that blonde girls name. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

View MoreI've done some research on this issue and the rights to spring break belonged to Columbia pictures, then Sony pictures acquired the rights during the Columbia pictures buy out or merger or whatever you wanna call it. do as i am doing and send Sony an email and ask them to release this awesome movie on DVD, I have been waiting for this movie to be released for years. If they can put "Chips" on DVD then they really need to release this movie. so if you wanna join me in getting this movie on DVD copy down the email address below and write them to help them realize what we are missing from our collections. the email is [email protected]
... View MoreI'm hardly going to be the one to excoriate the makers of 1980s sex-fueled quasi-comedies for their work. Sure,these films were about as easily forgotten as the heaps of bad slasher flick sequels and wanna-bes that ALSO populated the cinemas over(mostly)the summers of that era. I mean,to be sure,I probably watched quite a few of these films,albeit on cable or on video,and I know I got exactly what I wanted out of them:cheap laughs and some eyefuls of fine looking,supple young female bodies.But I suppose my biggest gripe with this particular film is that it seemed like the makers of this film really weren't concerned AT ALL with anything BUT the sex scenes,wet T-shirt contests and the beach shots of anonymous hot bodies. The actual comedy that it purportedly tries to convey is so much an afterthought that the gags and punchlines seem forced and embarrassing to the actors involved in them.The story here(As if it needs much explaining)is where a young stepson(David Knell) of a local politician(Dobald Symington),who,along with another clean-cut rich buddy friend(Perry Land)go out,beyond the wishes of the politician step-dad,and head for Fort Lauderdale,Florida. Once there they share a hotel space with two near-Neanderthal college dudes(PAul Land and Steve Bassett,a little TOO convincing at it)who decide to show their outsider roomies a good time. NAturally,the two clean lads will find love instead of instant sex(though they'll find THAT too;remember,this IS the '80s)in the arms of hot-yet-sympathetic lasses played by Corinne Wahl and JAyne Modean. Veterna actor Richard Schull is there as a private detective dispatched by the politico to track his stepson,but is truly there as a punchable,doofy comic foil.Director Sean S. Cunningham,probably more famous for directing the first and ninth in the Friday the 13th series(among other films),helms this pic and looks pretty unfamiliar with comedy in this effort. I came away more obsessed with the hot bods,like Wahl,Modean,one day up-and-coming starlet Nikki(then Bobbi)Fritz and Rhonda Flynn,than I was with most of the people in this flick. Worth a look for the light,sun-kissed sex content and not much more,which,when you consider the movie poster,the title and the plot summary is probably all that it intends to be.
... View MoreThis movie fueled my pre-adolescent dreams of loose chicks and beer diving. The soundtrack includes such memorable tunes as "Tijuana bring your mother to the gang-bang" and "I wanna do it to it - I wanna do it to you." This flick has made me what I am today. Bless you 'Spring Break', bless you.Of course Spring Break isn't a master piece. It isn't supposed to be. Just one of those late night HBO flicks from the 80's that they played over and over and over again.Since the good people at IMDb are forcing me to write at least 10 lines I guess I should try to say something more. College kids break free from the clutches of their paternal guardians and discover what it means to be ... well, drunk and stupid. The movie offers no great insight into the human mind or spirit - not every movie should. It didn't have the actors as Farris Buehler or Fast Times at Ridgemount High (nor the budget) but it was fun. Kind of a "watered-down" version of 'Girls Gone Wild' except you won't see your sister or daughter disgracing herself.
