6/10
It's really not THAT bad...
12 August 2012
So yeah, it's 9 years after it's release, And the Real Cancun has received so many awful reviews that I felt like I needed to write something in it's favor. I first saw it 8 years ago, and back then I was actually quite taken with the concept, the atmosphere and the depiction of people in Cancun during spring break. Whether it was real or not was not an issue for me, as it showed me a spring break, without the 'Girls Gone Wild' main theme of debauchery and depravity. Sure, those things exist in the movie, but to me it seems that even though the movie was sort of 'unscripted' and 'reality based', the editing was done wonderfully. As I mentioned in the beginning of my review - I first saw it 8 years ago. So now that I'm sadly much older, in age and state of mind as well, I re-watched the movie - as I'm about to go on vacation to Cancun. So yeah, the first charm of the movie did not hold as it did so many years ago when I gave it 8/10, but it still wasn't as bad IMHO as other reviews would depict it and I gave it 6/10. All in all - either you're waaaaayyy too old to watch it, or way too young - The MTV generation would actually enjoy this one.
