Summary

Comedy starring Zac Efron and Robert De Niro. Despite his wedding being only a few days away, uptight and conservative Jason Kelly is persuaded to accompany his recently bereaved grandfather on a trip to Daytona Beach in Florida. But rather than it being a quiet getaway, Grandpa Kelly is determined to indulge in all the wild delights that the Spring Break capital has to offer.

Review

A star rating of 3 out of 5.

Victoria Luxford

Zac Efron plays a conservative, about-to-be-wed young man who's fooled into taking his recently bereaved but hedonistic grandfather (Robert De Niro) to Florida for spring break. With its crass gags, drug use, nudity and swearing, the film is as filthy as the title suggests - hardly surprising, given director Dan Mazer was one of the writers on Borat and Brüno. However, Efron gamely sends up his own persona, proving the perfect straight man for De Niro, who looks like he's having a blast (though you may never get over the sight of him rapping). The two leads share a winning chemistry, while Jason Mantzoukas's drug dealer also enjoys several hilarious moments. It may stray over the line of acceptable taste, but the film wins you over with its undeniable energy and star rapport.
