There is nothing scarier than a group of girls on spring break with a fetish for guns and drugs. A cultural nightmare, “Spring Breakers” follows four college girls as they live out what may be the most epic, albeit horrifying, spring break ever imagined.

The film is laden with violence, drugs, alcohol and a surprising amount of nudity considering two of the stars of the film are prominent former child actors. Selena Gomez is Faith, the semi-religious good girl of the group — a role which the 20-year-old uses as a relatively fluid transition from Disney stardom to adulthood. The transition seemed more smooth than that of fellow Disney alumna Vanessa Hudgens, who jumped into the sadistic role of Candy so naturally it seemed to suit her inner demons well. Despite the “good girls gone bad” excitement that Spring Breakers used as a catalyst to create hype, it was James Franco as rapper/drug dealer Alien that carried the visual headache through each trippy, neon-lit scene.

Although director Harmony Korine may have been trying to make a statement about the glamorization of violence and drug abuse, that message was buried deep within the sexualized visual stimuli of his film. Let’s just say “Spring Breakers” (hopefully) makes most MU students’ spring break look like child’s play.
