Both a raucous party movie and comic vehicle for three talented actresses, Spring Breakdown stars Saturday Night Live veterans Rachel Dratch and Amy Poehler along with independent-film mainstay Parker Posey. The wish-list cast does a lot with a throwaway story about longtime friends whose social failures back in college are somewhat redeemed during a spring break spent with students in Mexico. Feebly chaperoning Ashley (Amber Tamblyn), daughter of the next U.S. vice-president (Jane Lynch in another of her funny, outsize performances), Posey's Becky--who brings Dratch's Judi and Poehler's Gayle along--heads for the beach and many quasi-orgies fueled by alcohol, wet T-shirt contests, and the like. While Becky steers the reserved Ashley toward less provocative activities, Gayle finds herself adopted as den mother to a gaggle of blonde hotties and Judi begins to think maybe there's more to life than being engaged to a gay boyfriend (Seth Meyers). There is certainly a lot to like about scenes involving any or all of the film's three stars, though the rest of Spring Breakdown looks like it could have been shot for any post-Animal House college movie. The film, co-written by Dratch, also features Missi Pyle in an expertly comic role as another older woman who latches onto the craziness. --Tom Keogh

 Love this movie! February 7, 2010
D. Boardwine
I recently purchased Spring Break Down, the movie is fantastic! When I received the movie the disc was loose and i was afraid it was going to be scratched. IT WASNT...thankfully, because I really love that movie!!!
 PURE GIRLY FUN! January 3, 2010
Tina Corley (Myrtle Beach, SC)
This isn't Masterpiece Theater. You shouldn't go into it expecting that. This is pure girly FUN with the most fantastic cast of female leads. Like someone else here said, this is the film Baby Mama was meant to be. And the only downside I see to this film is that Tina Fey was not in it- besides that it stars the smartest and brightest girls on the planet. The film is pure silliness on the surface, but if you really watch you will know it has a lot of messages and deep meaning to any of us who wish they could go back and do it all over again in life knowing then what we know now. PURE FUN and I recommend it to anyone looking for 84 minutes of great escape.
When Women Team Up November 21, 2009
S. Andres
Just when I begin thinking that our society starts increasing its value on women, I'm proved wrong when I think more on it. The example that made me think of such things? Spring Breakdown. It's absolutely hilarious. But it has a 5.0 rating on imdb, and apparently is not well-received or liked. It's essentially the 7.0-rated Old School with a female cast instead of a male cast. I found it funnier than Old School, yet which one was a hit? Why was Spring Breakdown a flop? It already aired on Lifetime and it was released straight-to-DVD just a few months ago.
Spring Breakdown is a star-studded cast with some of the funniest ladies in comedy: the somewhat insane Amy Poehler, the goofy Rachel Dratch, the amazing Jane Lynch, and the queen of dry comedy Parker Posey. It's expected to be good. Add the astoundingly absurd Missy Pyle to the mix, and it's even better. Even though I find the cast attractive, they're not drop-dead gorgeous like other ladies of the film and television world (like Battlestar alum Tricia Helfer or Chuck sexy secret agent Yvonne Strahovski). If a college or high school experience movie has an all-male cast with bombshell women to attain as sexualized objects or flat characters, then it's a hit. Even with women. Come on, ladies. Start respecting yourselves! Support your fellow sex. Like Tina Fey says in Mean Girls: "You all have got to stop calling each other sluts and whores. It just makes it okay for guys to call you sluts and whores." (One of the very select few with a nearly all-female cast that was a success but still underrated.) If you respect yourselves, then men will respect you, and then better parts for women in movies and television. As of right now, the only strong women are in sci-fi and nerdy shows where the cast splits awesomeness. Sci-fi has always been ahead in social criticism, especially in feminism. Start picking up the pace, rest of artistic world!
Maybe in twenty years, the movie might be a hit. It's definitely for nerds too! It's all about being comfortable with yourself and/or your nerdity and how that can be cool too. It's not just for the lady viewers if you can open your mind. I'm a man, and I love it. The jokes are hilarious, and the talent is amazing. Sure it's corny, but it's a good time. The majority of comedies aren't going to win awards, and this one sure isn't. It may have flaws, but comedies are about making people laugh, not about stunning cinematography and beautiful dialogue and setting. Dratch has great facial expressions as always, Poehler has fantastic timing and improved lines, and Posey has great characterization. She can really get into a character in the slightest of ways.
Fun to watch! September 29, 2009
P. Johnson
This is going to be a classic for the good girl with friends who you wish they weren't but still help her do the right thing!
Awesome! If you never got to go to Spring Break July 18, 2009
A. Flipper
Awesome! I don't remember this movie coming out in theatres so it must not have done well. I thought it was funny through out especially if you never got to go on Spring Break and would go if you had the opporunity to party with the college kids.
