Summary: Sad world we live in...
Review: Seeing this movie was a mistake. I've seen other "reality" shows on MTV, and have to admit that this movie can really do damage to people who would actually believe that this is all real. It is physically real...but much of the other reality involved in the world is left behind.

The problem with these movies is that it trys to attract high school students into doing these utterly stupid acts... pathetic.

If you want to watch people doing utterly stupid acts and proud of it....then I highly recommend Jackass: The Movie... I give that movie a 5/5 cause it's something that actually admits to being stupid. The Real Cancun...can't come anywhere near close.

Bottomline: Waste of time and money.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: not that bad
Review: Ok, first of all the filmakers struggle to find stories where there is none and try to create drama by zooming in on expressionless faces. What's up with that?? There are some cool things about this movie though. Hot chicks. The producers did a good job of finding good looking people for this movie.

Summary: knew i'd hate it, watched it anyway; hated it.
Review: this movie shows once and for all that our public education system has been a roaring success.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Pointless
Review: This movie (and I use the term loosely) is utterly pointless. Instead of an entertaining romp, the filmmakers have given us the longest parental advisory of all time. I am sure the families of these kids are pretty darn embarrassed (especially the parents of the twins Brittany and Roxanne ... I wouldn't be surprised if their folks took them out of college and forced them into a convent.) The situations are contrived and don't even seem real (guy comes to spring break in his glasses and never having touched alcohol and does one shot, and blammy! He's a man for the ages.) There is a young women named Sky who is very dull and only gives long "what are you talking about?" looks while we endure the most boring flirtation of all time. There are the cookie-cutter blonde girls whom you can't even tell apart who only seem interested in sex and wear cheap eye shadow (and one of them actually says, "I thought you were different.") The guys are supposed to be studly, but are just wretched (one of them clearly tweezes and shapes his eyebrows) and don't get me started on the guy who is an aspiring model; he comes across as one of the most disgusting of them all. Instead of being light-hearted, this is a depressing movie to be avoided at all costs.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: MTV needs to grow up
Review: Here is the proof for why the rest of the world hates us. After seeing these mindless, soulless sex-crazed pod people parade around like they were GODS in this sad excuse for a movie, I can see why America is viewed by others as an evil country. What exactly do we value anymore?

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Interesting! LOL
Review: When I first saw the preview of this movie it made me wana barf it looked so bad. And so my friend dragged me to the theatres to watch it. But it ended up being a lot better than i thought. The DVD comes with sufficient extras, and honestly, its a movie if you want to just watch people having fun, with the drama. People's expectations are to high for this movie. If you are a bit sceptical about watching it, just watch it with an open mind and don't be looking for some intricate plot line.
I mean for the people who didn't like it, what do you expect from a movie cover that looks like that? Hopefully ya'll weren't thinkin of an Oscar nominee, when the cover has a naked girl, with a guy smiling. Mostly guyz will like this flick. PeAcE**

Summary: How real is it?
Review: I went into watching "The Real Cancun" with very low expectations. Much to my chagrin, many of these expectations were met. Let's face it: it's very hard to produce a film that has no plot, no climax moment (no pun intended), and no resolution. There are occasional conflicts amidst the partygoers, but these arguments seem very immature.

One must also argue just how "real" this film is. These sixteen kids were chosen by MTV (their trips were probably paid for) to mix and mingle in a deluxe resort house, with a multitude of tequila shots and hot bodies at their disposal. Now, if this were a REAL Cancun spring break, several key moments would have been featured in the film:
#1 - They all would have been puking in the street by the end of the night thanks to all of that tequila.
#2 - They would have had to work terribly hard for the money or borrow it (sometimes from their own financial aid) to purchase the trip package.
#3 - They would have missed the first two days of classes afterwards because they were still hungover.
#4 - Snoop Dogg might not have performed, nor would he have invited most of the "cast" onstage to dance with him.

Since the focus of the movie is on T & A, it seems a bit gratuitous and artificial. Basically, this is a glorified "Real World" with the nudity and sex left in. The only thing missing was a confessional booth.

I agree with many of the reviewers who have said that the audience didn't really get to know any of the kids. Instead of giving them depth and humanity, essential for any movie with "real" in the title, the movie makes them appear silly and/or stereotypical. One could argue that many of the Real World seasons of the last few years seem a bit contrived compared to the raw very first season. This film only accentuates that idea that reality television/film is no longer centered on reality. It's centered on exposure and fame.

What does save this movie from absolute pointlessness are the few moments of laughter. Examples: Alan finally letting loose, the antics of Paul and his speedo-wearing buddy, the jellyfish sting, and the mariachi band providing a live alarm clock to the sleeping party animals.

If you like the "Girls Gone Wild" videos, you'll love this movie. If you're looking for something artistic, you're heading in the wrong direction.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Alcohol, Babes, and a Storyline
Review: When I grabed this movie off the shelf at my local video store I thought it was going to be full of partying and drunk chics taking their tops off. I was right, but I was very very surprised to see that also in this movie was a very strong storyline. The characters came together like a family and did a very good job getting along with each other. This is an AWESOME documentary, but is also a drama, comedy, and kind of a love story. If you don't watch this movie, then you are a total loser! I can't wait to go myself.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Boring, depressing, unwatchable!
Review: Okay, I'm a middle-aged old geezer who still enjoys "Real World" and "Road Rules" but this movie was filled with so many boring, empty airheads that it was more like a horror movie than a fun thing to watch.The worst part was the way the group of no-brainers kept picking on the poor guy who had never drunk anything alcoholic before. It was as if they were shocked to the core that he was still an alcohol virgin. And the way their eyes lit up when he finally gave in and became just another whooping, drinking, sex machine. Now, when I grew up in the 50s, there just wasn't any of these temptations around. In a way, I'm glad i lived in a Walt Disney town of 300 people and we sat around drinking milk and eating apple pie. But getting back to this slick, two hours of grinning neanderthals, I wish they all stayed in Cancun and away from the Real World.
