Yeah that movie with the Disney whores (Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens and two more I don't remember) who go on Spring Break (they get the money by robbing a restaurant) and have wild parties with lots of sex and drugs and then meet darktriadmaxxed James Franco and go ER on gangstas and sheit. This movie was so divisive because some critics said it was the perfect satire of consoomerism and modern American culture while others said that the movie was just garbage and felt more like a trap music video than a real film. I felt the second way too when I first watched the movie at 13 (pirated it ) and I remember I just wanted to see the tits, but it had quite an impact on me.
At that time I was in an edgy "I'm very smart" phase and I always looked at movie essays and critics so I understood the movie in a different way after doing that. It made me realize how morally fucked up our society was and how the movie portrayed that perfectly and it made you feel upset for it, yes many idiotic normies didn't get it and thought the movie was gloryfing getting wasted and fucked and being gangsta, but it was the opposite. How the director casted Disney foids that people were familiar with for being in shows for kids/early teens was also a great choice: it shows that even people who you believe are pure and innocent can be really fucked up on the inside or how society transforms pure people into bad with their lack of morals. They call it "growing up".
Honestly I give the movie a 5/10 because it's very unique and because it impacted me but I have to agree with some of the critics that it feels more like a music video than a movie. The dialogues are stupid, the plot is even more stupid and feels repetitive. The film quickly gained a cult following and now is quite beloved in hipster art and cinema circlejerks.
