Summary: The Most Degrading Movie Ever!
Review: Ok. This movie has to be one of the WORST movies ever! Its about 16 college students and their spring break vacation in Cancun, Mexico. It's extremely embarassing and degrading, though most guys will probably enjoy this trash. Basically, this is a more professional verson of "Girls Gone Wild", only with guys included. It's just a watered-down porn flick for the theaters. It's not even worth watching. I would really give this zero stars. Its amazing what they can get away with these days.

Summary: Is it live?
Review: This extraordinarily silly MTV "documentary" features a carefully selected group of shallow, stupid, unsympathetic, unlikable, allegedly good-looking Americans in their early twenties who are celebrating spring break in Cancun, Mexico. There are altogether too many of these beach boys and beach girls---we never get to know them as people; with the exception of the two male African-American friends, they are completely without charm or appeal. They have nothing interesting to say and seem to have no identity. Each one of them complains about their relationships and how difficult it is to find "the right person," and I was completely indifferent to their personal problems. There is absolutely nothing about these people to make them seem interesting---they are characterologies, cardboard-cut out figures, stereotypes.
There is only one good thing about this film (hence the two-star rating): the wet T-shirt competition. MTV apparently thought: "Let's place a camera in front of these people! Hedonism and fun will ensue!" It didn't work. The film is BORING. Very often it is IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL what is going on. The "climax" of the film has the participants "hooking up"---strangely enough, they are "hooking up" with their clothes on. This conclusion was obviously contrived by the MTV staff, who wanted the film to end... in some way or another! The participants don't even seem to be having fun. Watching THE REAL CANCUN is a bit like watching someone ELSE's home movie and wishing you were somewhere else. Even if you like Snoop and alternative music, the music soundtrack of this film is just awful. Aimless, pointless, stupid.

Summary: Real Cancun sucks
Review: like reality tv hasnt destroyed television already....it might just creep up into the movie business as well....maybe will be watching motion pictures but they wont be about saving lives from robots or stopping a comet in outer space...no it'll be about 6 kids, 3 boys and 3 girls getting drunk, stripping down to their knickers and having sex while their parents are at home doing their taxes putting the little ones to bed so they can get up in the morning...have a bowl of cereal and go to school...I dont know, maybe its just me...I guess we will never know huh? The Real Cancun is a totally stupid and pointless documentary type Real World movie in which those things I just said about the 6 people, even though there are more people then 6 in this movie in one house.....I could say probably one of the worst movies of 2003 if not one of the worst ever made....I dont find this entertaining....if you want Shakespeare, there is none in this...if you want a Will Smith movie...nope...if you want a retarded movie with real people getting plastered all over the wall and doing stupid tricks...this is it for you....elderly people and kids under 14 mind find no value in this movie...others with no brains probably would patten this as their surviving tool...me, I'd but it in the skeet shoot and take aim...peace out

Summary: Pretty realistic
Review: I see totally mixed reviews here. Half of you say 1 star and the other half 5 stars.
The people that were `appalled' and gave it a bad rating...what were you thinking this movie was going to be? MTV films kids in Cancun partying...of coarse there's drinking and sex. `The Real Cancun' There's a picture of a chick in a thong on the front cover. Did you think it was going to be about scuba diving and marine life or a documentary on the local people of Mexico? I don't see why people as conservative as you would even want to see that movie in the first place unless you just like being pissed off
I never thought of this as a movie and treated it more as a documentary which I thought was pretty realistic. Yes some of the people were really dumb but I've never been to places like this and not end up around dumb people. I thought this was worth watching. I rented it then later bought it on sale.
I'll be in Cancun in a couple months making an @ss of myself. Maybe you'll see a picture of me on the internet eating whip cream off a hottie on the beach. Wahooo!!!!
Oh..I think I want to marry one of the twins from New Mexico if not both.

Summary: Feeling burned?
Review: Everything about this movie's content easily could be guessed from the promo material and the trailers, so anyone feeling let down after viewing it has only themselves to blame.
And it's undeniably a piece of tittilating (pun intended), exploitative tripe from a director and producers whose track record is clear from the various "Real Worlds."
I think the loathing evident in many of the other "one star" reviews is the direct result of buyers hoping for envelope-pushing bad behavior that wasn't delivered by the knuckleheaded cast, or the producers and director.
Caveat emptor, kiddies!

Summary: Wow, stupidest movie ever
Review: Luckily I didn't pay to see it. The only reason why I watched it in the first place was to see some half naked hot chicks, but even in that department it was lacking.
You would think a brainless movie about spring break would at least have some hot chicks half naked. Nope. Just one wet t-shirt contest that you can watch on any episode of Wild On.
It tries so hard to be like Real World, but fails miserably, no interviews, bad editing, and the idiots who they picked to be on the movie are boring. On top of that, they seem to play for the camera, most of their dialogue is akward, as if they are only having a conversation for the sake of the movie. WTF?
If you are looking for a brainless movie with half naked chicks, fast forward to the wet t-shirt segment, watch it, then switch off the tv.

Summary: Not Good
Review: The Real Cancun follows the same basic format as the MTV show "The Real World." Basically, a bunch of strangest are thrown together for spring break. If you are not a fan of "The Real World," you probably won't like this movie. If you do enjoy "The Real World," you still might not like "The Real Cancun." The main problem is that there are too many characters (16 totatl) and not enough time to develop many of the (only about an hour and a half). Also, the personal interviews of the characters from "The Real World" are absent in this movie. Since this is the case, few characters are interesting and most of them are just there doing nothing. The one character that basically carries the movie is Alan, the conservative, non-drinker who learns how to have fun while in Cancun. Other characters are basically wasted. While watching the previews for this movie, I thought that the twins (Roxanne and Nicole) would be interesting to watch in the movie. Although they do compete in a wet T-shirt contest in one scene, afterwards they are basically forgotton.
There are a few special features on the DVD that I wouldn't suggest watching even if you watch the movie. One feature has commentary by each member of the cast. Most of the characters ramble on about half developed incidents, or even incidents that were not covered at all in the movie. Don't watch it. It just draws on and on and is boring.
Basically, the Real Cancun is just a waste of time. Although one of the movie's pitches was that it would feature lots of girls "going wild," this is really a deception. Don't let the cover of the DVD fool you; other than a few wet T-shirt contests, there is not much nuditity in the film. Don't watch it expecting to see lots of naked girls.
The Real Cancun isn't worth watching. Its worse than a regular episode of "The Real World," and doesn't have half as much craziness as would be expected of a spring break movie.

Summary: Pass on this.
Review: I was really hoping for a lot more from this. It was surprisingly dull and only briefly caught my interest during the short wet T-shirt contest. Unlike "The Real World" or "Survivor" I didn't really find any of the participants to be interesting enough for me to care about what they were going through. For a movie about Cancun it seemed pretty tame, but I guess I should have realized that from the 'R' rating. Maybe I'm just too old and jaded (and the fact I live in a college party town) to be excited by this film. This might have been more titillating if I were just reaching puberty...
