Spring Break (1983) is a movie I recently watched on Amazon Prime. The storyline follows a group of friends who decide to go to Fort Lauderdale for spring break. One the friend's father cant believe his son would jeopardize his future and way of life to enjoy spring break shenanigans and sends people to find him. The friends will try to enjoy themselves while ducking the father's men. This movie is directed by Sean S. Cunningham (Friday the 13th) and stars David Knell (Pig), Perry Lang (Weeds), Paul Land (Riptide), Mimi Cozzens (Live Wire) and Daniel Faraldo (Bounty Hunters). The storyline for this film is pretty lazy and a huge step down from similar pictures like Porky's, Meatballs, Nerds, etc. The scenarios were inconsistent and corny. The hotel check-in scene, rock band singer and wet t-shirt contest were the highlights of this picture for me. There are some great 80s nostalgic moments in this; but overall, this isn't good. I would score it a 3.5-4/10.
