Tie-in products include clothes and shoes based on the characters' apparel in the movie. Barely a scene that doesn't feature college students most of whom are underage drinking copious amounts of alcohol, smoking marijuana, and even snorting cocaine. Many of the scenes of substance abuse are repeated and incorporate sexual acts as well, like people snorting cocaine off of a topless young woman's chest, doing body shots, etc.
There's also drug dealing and scenes that show people packaging and weighing drugs. Parents need to know that even though former Disney stars Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens are in Spring Breakers , it's absolutely not appropriate for teens.
This is a hard-R film from controversial director Harmony Korine Kids , and it explores the naivete of college students who expect spring break to be an otherworldy, life-changing experience.
There's constant, overt sexuality including three-way sex scenes and lots of toplessness , substance abuse mostly marijuana and cocaine , swearing "f--k," "s--t," and much more , and violence.
People die from being shot and are injured with bullet wounds. Underage men and women are arrested and indulge in sexual acts with strangers they've just met. Bottom line?
Every terrible thing that a parent could imagine happening during spring break is unflinchingly on display in this envelope-pushing satire of teen comedies. Add your rating See all 17 parent reviews.

Now flush with cash, the girls head down to the sunny beaches of St.
Petersburg, Fla. During a particularly hedonistic room party toward the end of their trip, the girls -- now broke again -- get arrested and are subsequently bailed out by Alien James Franco , a local drug gangsta with a gold grill and a serious adoration of Scarface. While he doesn't demand that the girls do anything specific in return for his help, Faith gets a bad feeling and flees, while the other girls stick around and delve even deeper into a world of crime and debauchery.
This movie's likely to make audiences ridiculously uncomfortable with its realistically graphic scenes of adolescent sex and substance abuse. Director Harmony Korine Kids can't seem to help but push buttons and cross boundaries. For adult viewers, the movie's salacious close ups of bouncing breasts and gyrating bikini bottoms, the repetitive scenes, and the general plotlessness make sense, because Spring Breakers is ultimately poking fun at the misguided nature of the spring break party scene and the college kids who think this that a week of booze, booty, and getting high is what they're meant to experience -- and what they deserve.
But teens -- who may well be drawn to the movie by the idea of Disney starlets doing their version of "Girls Gone Wild" Gomez less shockingly than Hudgens, who's startlingly sexual as wicked Candy -- won't necessarily understand the cliches that Korine is skewering. They'll be too distracted with the nonstop titillation no matter how uncomfortable it is to see the film for what it is -- a subversive treatise on the naivete and downright idiocy of this out-of-control rite of passage.
The young actresses hold their own, but it's Franco who chews up the scenery with his hilarious minor kingpin who loves to shout "Look at my s--t! Families whose teens do see Spring Breakers may want to discuss how it portrays teenage sexuality and substance abuse.
What message is it intending to send? Do you think that message gets through to teen viewers? What do you think of Hudgens and Gomez starring in this film when they still have tween and young teen fans? Does it change how you think of them as actresses? Do you think actresses who start out acting in kids' programming have a responsibility to be careful with their career choices?
She also starred in the family friendly Ramona and Beezus , then played a slightly more rebellious character in Monte Carlo.
The other two, Ashley Benson and Rachel Korine have been slowly working their way into show biz Ashely since she was two-years-old. So why is it that breaking into serious acting has to include such a complete loss of innocence?

Once that scene is cut, you see two girls sitting in a college lecture room and once of them draws a Male genetalia On a notebook and pretends to be licking it to make her friend laugh. The girls are seen smashing things, screaming, and holding guns to people's heads. There is smoking both cigarettes and marijuana in this movie as well.

Manohla Dargis Mar 14, In Spring Breakers [Mr. Korine] bores into a contested, deeply American topic — the pursuit of happiness taken to nihilistic extremes — but turns his exploration into such a gonzo, outrageously funny party that it takes a while to appreciate that this is more of a horror film than a comedy.
