The Real Cancun (2003)

So yeah, it's 9 years after it's release, And the Real Cancun has received so many awful reviews that I felt like I needed to write something in it's favor. I first saw it 8 years ago, and back then I was actually quite taken with the concept, the atmosphere and the depiction of people in Cancun during spring break. Whether it was real or not was not an issue for me, as it showed me a spring break, without the 'Girls Gone Wild' main theme of debauchery and depravity. Sure, those things exist in the movie, but to me it seems that even though the movie was sort of 'unscripted' and 'reality based', the editing was done wonderfully. As I mentioned in the beginning of my review - I first saw it 8 years ago. So now that I'm sadly much older, in age and state of mind as well, I re-watched the movie - as I'm about to go on vacation to Cancun. So yeah, the first charm of the movie did not hold as it did so many years ago when I gave it 8/10, but it still wasn't as bad IMHO as other reviews would depict it and I gave it 6/10. All in all - either you're waaaaayyy too old to watch it, or way too young - The MTV generation would actually enjoy this one.

SUCK!!ALL OF YOU:Jeremy,Matt and all the assholes!!all of you are just the Dumb,Idiot and Stupid western people i ever know!I can't believe if America would grown as great as like these days if they produced people like all of you!No-Brain,Low-Intelligent and Dumb faggots are the images that you shown to the world.Please,don't make your beautiful,wonderful and incredible nation ashamed just with your stupid-trash attitude!MTV..PLease,produce some kind educational shows,attractive and creative events.MTV..Once again lose a little bit one of you motto:Narcissistic.It's should be OVER!!Hopefully Mtv will give the world the best and good influence to earth.I admire America and always see America as great figure.But,Sometimes they just too crossline on the ways they do!Well, Give -1 of 100 stars

First of all, I think people should look at the genre that this is. As a movie I can see why some people didn't like it. Personally I thought it was excellent. It captured the people in as natural a setting as possible,and it had some great comedy. 7/10

I just watched this flick, and after i read all those horrible reviews i thought "did we really watch the same movie?". Then after reading some reviews more carefully I suddenly understood what makes the opinions of this movie so different - the way we take it completley depends on all of our personal experiences.If you have never been abroad with friends drinking, partying, meeting girls and being up all night you probably find this flick boring, pointless, shallow and stupid. All because the moviemakers never wanted to make something with a message. The only thing they tried to do was to catch this teenage gang as natural as possible (wich they did as good as they could - not great though.)However. If you HAVE a lot of partying experinces, like being abroad, with semi-laked drunk people all around, checking our girls, drinking, dancing and having fun, THEN you probably get a bunch of nice memories and a great I-wanna-party feeling.I fall into the second category and, thus, i liked this film. Everything you see isnt very natural, and some of the dialogues we see seems too well prepared to be spontanious. But i never lost the feeling that this wasnt all fake. Because i have been in that situation, and like it or not - thats how it IS! The girls are slutty, everyone is drunk and doing stupid things, people are screwing around like crazy, noone gives a sh*t about personalities and everyone is only there because of two things: Having fun and getting laid.But thats how it is! And its FUN! (this last sentance is my own opinion)So i guess the conclusion of this review is that if you never have experienced anything like this you will probably dont like it a bit. And i fully understand why. If you have, however, been on a place like this or if you just like crazy partying you probably have a nice laugh watching this flick.Take a quick thought before you go and rent this one and think about what category you fall into. Then you probably will know what decision you will be most happy with. Nice watching 8)(personal rating: 7/10)
