SPRING BREAKERS [2013]

Writer/director Harmony Korine makes films that blurs the lines between exploitive trash and fascinating social commentary.
Spring Breakers tells a tale of the Facebook generation and the glamorization of alcohol & drugs, over-sexed youth, violence and material possessions.  Here it manages to propose a potentially interesting subject to dissect but then forgets about it and just milks it's allure to stupid youth for all it's worth.  Korine has a great eye for colors and scenery, as James Franco makes a wonderfully frightening psychotic but the rest leaves absolutely nothing to think about.  The biggest mistake is dropping the only sympathetic character so early in the story thereby leaving us with nothing but abhorrently repulsive characters.
