Ever see a movie and you suddenly realize your IQ is dropping? That's this movie. I seriously cannot believe this movie got made, or that anyone in charge of the budget signed off on it. It's horribly dull, just scene after scene of people dancing and partying. These four "ladies" go on "spraang braaaake" and bad stuff happens. I kept waiting for the point, but really, the movie has nothing to say other than "look at these ladies in their bikinis." I guess the "moral" is that you shouldn't do bad things or bad things might happen to you? Maybe?

My least favorite part was the constant repetition of lines. I feel like the "writers" couldn't come up with good dialogue, so when they found something they liked, they repeated it. At one point, the girls get arrested, and they keep saying "it wasn't supposed to be like this" over and over. I'm not kidding, I think they said it six or seven times. The film is visually stunning, if I'm being positive. They spent a LOT of money on neon lights and fake guns...and swimsuits. SO MANY swimsuits, and so many closeups of women in swimsuits. I kinda feel like the director graduated from "Girls Gone Wild" to artsy films, but this need more plot, character arcs, and less of James Franco's teeth. If you want to hear people say "spraang braaaake forevvvvvahhh" many MANY times, go for it.

There is only one redeeming factor about this movie, the fact that Trakt give rating of 1 heart the name 'Weak Sauce :(' as that describes this movie perfectly.

People may say that this is a more 'arty' film, let's be frank, it's not well enough executed to be one, I've seen better arty films elsewhere.

Not only that, but I just can't get over the plot holes, which includes some typical Hollywood style puffery, for instance, the girls hold up a cafe (I think) at gunpoint, steal money from the till without wearing gloves (so you'd think there are fingerprints at least), the girls later get arrested during Spring Break (so I'd imagine fingerprinted), so I'm either over-estimating police intelligence or information sharing, or that was a pretty big plot hole.

In addition, when they are outside the diner/superette(?) and they re-enact the hold up, how that scene would go completely unnoticed, boggles my mind, it just doesn't make sense to me.

Apart from what I feel like plot holes, the proportion of runtime spent on mindless dribble/fast cuts/etc (which is really the director trying to be artsy) bored me out of my mind like you'd never believe.

In summary, I want my hour and a half back!

This movie had such great potential. If it just followed the compelling short description of the movie, instead of making that short description nearly EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS IN THE MOVIE, it would be intriguing. This was the most tedious, redundant and gratuitous movie I've seen in a very long time. I expected the gratuitous ... it opened with an extended "Girls Gone Wild" sequence. But then it showed that sequence again, and again and again, then again, and again and again! This would be a "one-star" without James Franco. Once he is introduced you are captivated by his transformation into a wannabe gangsta rapper, especially given his tame, Disney-esque acting in "Oz, the Great and Powerful." But then the tedious redundancy corrupted even his performance. The cinematography is interesting but with little plot and the unrelenting repetitiveness, even that became another irritant. If they removed all of the redundant scenes I think the movie would have been 30 minutes long.
