Reel Garbage
by
If you'll bear with me, I'd like to share some things that crossed my mind while watching The Real Cancun, a documentary representing Hollywood's first attempt to cash in on TV's "reality" craze.
-- I've never seen a movie rated R for "partying" before.
-- Hm. My Nerd rope candy is more interesting than this film.
-- Partying, sex, wet T-shirt contests . . . and how is this not different from "Girls Gone Wild"?
-- No one in Cancun ever gets hangovers.
-- Reality filmmaking? Yeah, like 16 men and women have trips paid for them by a documentary crew on a regular basis.
-- Apparently, anyone who signs up to do a movie about spring break must agree to let night vision cameras peer in on them having sex with people they’ve known for two days.
--Forget The Ring…The “hot bod” scene here is much scarier.
-- Do the producers of “The Real World” have no shame at all?
-- Why didn't New Line include a Freddy Vs. Jason trailer to ease the pain?
-- Universal has a movie just like this waiting for release. Oh, the humanity.
-- I didn't realize that after only one drink, someone could go from alcoholic abstinence to doing body shots and screaming, “I want hooters!” in just a couple of days.
-- Movies about month-old "reality stuff" don’t turn out so well.
-- What a message! You can't be cool unless you constantly down tequila shots and make out with everything in sight.
-- My candy's gone. Bummer. Now I'll have to watch the rest of the movie.
MY RATING: * ½ (out of ****)
(Released by New Line Cinema and rated "R" for strong sexuality/nudity, language and, yes, partying.)
