These women are supposed to be considered unattractive, yeah freaking right! I'm not buying it. Amy, Parker and Rachel? Ok, I'll play along for a second. Parker Posey looks like Stephanie Szostak shot in the face with a shotgun and forced to have reconstructive face surgery to put her face back together. I love Stephanie. Amy Poehler looks like Anna Faris who's face has been flattened my a cement roller as she was ran over by it and left out in the burning sun to die. I really love Anna. And Rachel Dratch looks like Emily Blunt's less fortunate and way creepier cousin who's parents were obviously a little too related. Just kiddin'! Hehehe, the truth is I love these pretty girls, Amy, Parker and Rachel. Parker is so cute, honestly amazing looking, like purely gorgeous, I don't need to say that obviously I love her. Amy is as sexy as she can be with big beautiful blue eyes and great skin plus she's blonde and just super attractive really. Rachel's very cute-faced with excellent hair and a beautiful smile and nice bod. And Amber Tamblyn, who's like a megacute megahottie, I love plus she kinda looks like Lauren Ambrose maybe but Amber's way hotter than Lauren who cares about Lauren freaking Ambrose. Mae Whitman is too cute. She looks like Rachael Ray a little maybe but even way cuter. I need to work on my self-control but I could use a Spring Break. I love this less popular, but totally hot, cool movie.

There is a problem when "buddy stars", in this case, Amy Poehler and Rachel Dratch, try to repeat their schtick in another medium, which seems to have been the appeal of pairing the two actresses, both from Saturday Night Live. That seems a rule the creators of this film should not have forgotten when they trying to make a film out of such flimsy material as "Spring Breakdown". It is after all, a formula kind of movie that tries to capitalize on the talent that was showcased in it.Ryan Shiraki and Rachel Dratch probably started with good intentions to create a fun filled movie. Unfortunately, this type of comedy has been done so much it has a stale feeling to it. Not contented with that, they brought Parker Posey, and Jane Lynch to try to give it a kind of lift, which it never gets because it feels tired."Spring Breakdown" might have gone directly to DVD, that is the feeling we get after watching it.

Reading some of the comments on the message boards here I was expecting this movie to be a complete letdown - but when I watched it I could not stop laughing! It has officially become my new favourite movie.I don't know what all the hate here is about, maybe it's because a movie of this kind has never really been around before. I am at a loss to name another completely female driven comedy. Plenty of comedies will have one or two actresses in the lead, but there will be a lot of supporting male characters. This one was almost ALL women - with the exception of Seth Meyers, Justin Hartley and the brief appearance of Will Arnett - and it worked. All of the actresses delivered very funny performances (especially Missi Pyle) from a quirky and lovable script.The charm of this film, to me, seems to be in its subtle feminist message: accepting who you are, female success in the public sphere, the strength of female friendships and breaking gender roles. Light-hearted though it is, each of the lead characters face a challenge as their attempts to be more 'fun' conflict with their feminist values and who they knew themselves to be.Missi Pyle proposed that this film missed a theatrical release because of its all-female cast and lack of a big-name actor to get the studios behind it, and I have to agree. Everyone I've recommended this film to has loved it and I think it's a shame that a comedy celebrating female dorkiness hasn't been widely accepted and successful.I highly recommend this film to anyone with an open mind or a love of female-centred comedy.

I was interested in watching Spring Breakdown because the cast included various solid comedians.But before watching it,I remembered that,between all the genres of straight-to-DVD movies,the comedy uses to be the worst one for the simple fact that if they were good enough,they would be released on cinemas.Although I am against the practices of the big Hollywood studios,the truth is that they know how to win money,and they would not bury a good comedy in the digital cemetery of the straight-to-DVD movies.And Spring Breakdown belongs to that barren ground,for the simple fact that it is a very mediocre comedy.First of all,the movie has a weak premise because it thinks it would be funny to see adult women acting as teenagers.And besides,the movie wasted a good cast of comedians,although the few laughs this movie generates come from the sagacious humorous instinct from Amy Poehler,Rachel Dratch,Jane Lynch,Parker Posey and the underrated Missi Pyle.Hiring solid comedians in order to rescue a bad screenplay has been a very common mistake on high caliber projects (like Robin Williams in R.V. or Ben Stiller in Meet the Fockers),but I see that even modest films like this one can fall on that.Spring Breakdown is a mediocre comedy which bored me pretty much,so I do not recommend it at all,because that's the capital sin of cinema.
