Film Review: Spring Breakers (2012)

*Sigh* where do I begin... Well, this movie was a failed attempt at "artful chaos" if you wanna call it that. Just a bunch of bad girls partying and screaming in the back of a truck after holding up a chicken shack, then using that money to go on spring break, end up in jail in their bikinis, get bailed out by a sleazy gangster, then do a lot more naughty things with almost no repercussions. There's the cheesy voice-over montages, the glorification of violence, sex, drinking, drugs and partying, the bad acting, etc.. James Franco portrayed a very unlikable gangster/rapper named Alien, which was not his best work. The girls didn't really pull it off for me either; Selena Gomez was the best of them, but that's not saying much.
I didn't really get the movie; it just didn't make sense to me. They were trying way too hard to make it artsy, and ended up making it artificial. Not really worth seeing - the only thing I got out of it was a few good examples of wasted lives and bad wild-child behavior I'd be smart not to emulate.
