RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Hawkeye Sure its goofy and corny at times with some bad dancing and singing...but it was filmed in ft lauderdale...and i was there, its about spring break and it had kelly clarkson...what more do you want? If your looking for the movie " Casablanca", this is not it...take it for what its worth...hot girls in bikinis during spring break!!

k_l_b_937 May contain spoilers!Okay, the reason this got a 4 (which normally would have been lower) is because of a few things that make this movie not AS bad as some of these reviews say. Most are for nostalgic reasons.I saw this in probably 2004-05 when I was in middle school, and decided to pick it up from Blockbuster, just because. At this time in my life, it was this fun spring break movie that was entertaining to watch with my friends. This was mostly due to the simple plot, all the fun going on and the allure of being in Miami ( which IS fun, I had already been). Back then, I didn't really see anything wrong with it, but I wasn't the best judge of acting.Now that I've watched it in my early 20's, for the first time in ages, I feel like I can give it a proper review. Yikes, it's pretty cringe-y. So first you have the acting. Kelly's actually starts out okay to me, and is decent despite no acting roles, but then it kind of goes from bad to worse after that. Everyone else is not too too bad, Justin is slightly better than Kelly, but Katherine Bailess's accent is OVERWHELMINGLY annoying. And I'm from Alabama! I just wanted her to stop. Besides that, you will want to punch her character a thousand times, and then you wonder how Kelly and Kaya (Anika Noni Rose) are even friends with someone like that. Another downside is the musical numbers, the only one that's kind of fun/funny is the beginning number on the beach, and all the others are hard to watch- the lip syncing, the actual songs themselves... everything. A few of the things I like, still, are the vacation atmosphere, and, well.. that's pretty much all. Honorable mentions are Anika Noni Rose's acting as Kaya ( she gives the best performance out of everyone, IMO) especially given her material to work with and her choice of guys is the most believable/ most worth investing in; also, Brian Dietzen (pre-NCIS) with his sunburn and woman troubles is somewhat funny. Guys are going to hate this no matter what because it's already bad, they tend to hate musicals (like mine does) and it's about crushes and love. The only thing they might watch this for is the women on the beach.If you want to relive childhood a little because you remember watching it then, that's the only reason why you might want to continue watching it later in life, seeing as that's my only reason. A lot of times we can watch things that aren't good because they bring back some sort of sentimental value, even though they kind of suck. Other than the few things I mentioned, it's a waste of time if none of these themes appeal to you at all.

P.J. Lipscombe We all know the plot and have seen it hundreds of times before. Boy meets girl, boy unintentionally messes up, girl leaves boy, boy gets girl back. But this movie is so underestimated that I truly feel the need to set some opinions straight: This is not Beverly Hills 90210, this is not some episode of Baywatch combined with music (the best you've ever heard). This is a movie that will wake up all you romantically inclined people to take a good hard look at yourselves. Life isn't some romantic pipedream and love doesn't always work out the way it does in the movies. Except for this movie. This isn't just some chick-flick, and I'm sure many guys can relate to this movie. Kelly Clarkson will remind everyone of their everyday lives as this true-to-life movie slowly unfolds into the elaborate universal question: are men and women compatible? Men and women alike will be blown away by this great musical spectacle that makes "popular" films like Grease or Saturday Night Fever fade to grey in comparison. Rent it, buy it, give it to your loved one for valentine's day. If you see this movie, you will probably want to see it another 100 times.

Justin G Let me begin by saying, if a higher rating were available, I would choose it. This is one of the most inspiring films of the decade. The motifs and symbolism illustrated in this brilliant work of art are nothing short of powerful. The musical and theatrical talents of these young starlets moves me to tears. One would think that they are our modern day marlin Brando and Kathryn Hepburn. The dramatic irony proposed in the film is truly awe inspiring. It will leave any audience member moved and at the edge of their seats, waiting for more.
