I used to watch Spring Break a lot in the 80s. It was on one of the cable movie channels just about every week during the summer of '84. (I was a bored, unemployed kid) As a teen, I wasn't looking for any depth to this movie and as an adult, I still don't expect any - IT'S CALLED "SPRING BREAK"! So, if you understand that you are viewing a movie that is born out of the grind house films of the 70s and is nothing like "Beaches," you should be in the right mindset to enjoy this film for what it is. <br /> <br />It's fluffy escapism - beer, babes, guys, cars, beer, belly flop contests, beer, etc. Over the years, it has also become a bit of a time capsule to the spirit of 1983, the year it was released. I guess it's kind of like my generation's Annette Funicello "beach" movies, but with more drinking and innuendo. <br /> <br />The director, Sean S. Cunningham, also directed "Friday the 13th" (the original). I'd argue that in the same way "Friday the 13th" is considered a "classic" of the teen slasher genre, "Spring Break" should be considered a "classic" of the teen beach party genre (if there is such a thing). <br /> <br />You won't be left analyzing this film when it's over, but perhaps you will feel refreshed after taking a trip back in time and escaping reality for 90 minutes. <br /> <br />And, yes, this deserves to be on DVD!
