Mike Fleiss, the producer of such reality television shows as The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, makes his feature film debut with The Quest, a reality-film that follows seven Colorado college students as they travel south of the border to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, for a week of spring-break debauchery. The title refers to the various sexual conquests of the young men as they immerse themselves in alcohol and bikini-clad women for seven days.

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.

my friend bought the movie for 5€ (its is not even 1 cent worth), because they wrote it was like American pie. but we would soon find out that there is a long way from American pie to that piece of crap. it is not even a comedy, its more like a really really really bad documentary. not only the story is bad, the picture and sound also sucks to. they put in some alcohol, chicks, dwarfs and drunken teens. and the result is a disaster. if you see this movie don't buy it, rather spend your money on something else, and better. if you are gonna torture yourself, then don't invite your friend/s, unless you hate really much and you want to get rid of them.

The fact that this movie made it all the way to the rentalrack in Norway is bizarre. This movie is just awful. This image quality is just one teeny bit better than you get of a mobile phone and the plot is soooo bad. The main character is just plain annoying and the rest just suck. Every person affiliated with this movie should be ashamed. The fact that the people that made this movie put their name on this is extraordinary. And the distributors; did they even see it!? This is probably the worst movie I have ever seen. To label this a comedy is an insult to mankind. I urge you not to support this movie by buying or renting it.

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.
