Of course, that contradiction may prove hard for viewers to process - this is one of those films that straddles the line between satire and sincerity so stealthily that one could see it becoming a staple of sororities if taken at face value - but as Candy, Brit, and Cotty fall for Alien's malevolent charm, Korine's warped sensibilities reveal a certain amount of contempt for this youthful rite of passage. Later, a scary run-in with Alien's bitter rival Archie ( Gucci Mane) prompts another one of the girls to hightail it back to campus, leaving the remaining two to embrace their dangerous new lifestyle with reckless abandon.įrom the opening shots of topless beach revelers getting blasted with cheap beer as Skrillex's Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites blares on the soundtrack, it's readily apparent that Korine is mocking the behavior of the typical spring breaker at the same time he's celebrating it. Rightly sensing danger from the self-professed "gangster with a heart of gold," Faith boards a bus bound for school as her three friends fall into a dangerous cycle of drugs and depravity. That is, until wild-eyed, cornrowed drug dealer Alien ( James Franco) inexplicably posts their bail. But when the girls are thrown in jail following a police raid on a beachfront hotel room, it looks like the party is over. Left broke and alone on campus as their classmates head to Florida for some fun in the sun, coeds Candy ( Vanessa Hudgens), Brit ( Ashley Benson), and Cotty ( Rachel Korine) steal a car, rob a local diner, and head south with their devoutly religious girlfriend Faith ( Selena Gomez) in tow. While it may be a bit of a stretch to claim that Korine's vision as a filmmaker has "matured" given the amount of debauchery on display here, his grotesque caricature of youth pop culture appears to come from a more studied and controlled place than, say, Trash Humpers, but without sacrificing the discomforting undercurrent of danger that runs through many of his movies.
