There is a problem when "buddy stars", in this case, Amy Poehler and Rachel Dratch, try to repeat their schtick in another medium, which seems to have been the appeal of pairing the two actresses, both from Saturday Night Live. That seems a rule the creators of this film should not have forgotten when they trying to make a film out of such flimsy material as "Spring Breakdown". It is after all, a formula kind of movie that tries to capitalize on the talent that was showcased in it.
Ryan Shiraki and Rachel Dratch probably started with good intentions to create a fun filled movie. Unfortunately, this type of comedy has been done so much it has a stale feeling to it. Not contented with that, they brought Parker Posey, and Jane Lynch to try to give it a kind of lift, which it never gets because it feels tired.
"Spring Breakdown" might have gone directly to DVD, that is the feeling we get after watching it.
