After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Three immature college students head down to New Orleans when Mike Morgan's girlfriend Erica has a death in the family for the time of their lives. Bump refuses to take the trip seriously, Scottie has a fling with Carmen Electra. Meanwhile, Mike spots Erica in New Orleans, finding out that she was lying all along. Mike meets another beautiful woman named Lucy (Arielle Kebbel) The question is, can Mike get over Erica?It is what it is. I love raunchy humor. American Pie, American Pie II, American Wedding, and American Reunion are hilarious comedies, as are a few others. I just don't like it when a raunchy film is made to grab a few bucks. This movie is as predictable as they come. The cast is just likable enough to make this movie tolerable. I didn't like how homophobic this movie was. I'm straight myself, but I believe in freedom of doing what you wanna do. It takes digs at gay people in general, then tries to pretentiously paint gay people in a positive light at the end, while still being discreetly crude about it. I was really incensed by it. There are some scenes that made me laugh. Ever seen a guy get raped by a banana? You'll see that in this movie, along with some hints at incest. My favorite scene involves Scottie's trouble with feces. I won't spoil it, but I literally couldn't stop laughing. It's lewd beyond belief. It provides a whole new meaning to the term "S**** hits the fan" Other than that, you get what you expect. An abundance of nudity, crudity, among other things. Josh Gad is OK. I didn't think he was that funny. He overdid it, and got on my nerves. He's the typical overweight comedic guy who does nothing but tomfoolery. Nicholas D'Agosto plays the typical goodhearted male. Females will love him. I thought he was quite good in all honesty. Bret Harrison is funny in places, annoying as others as Scottie. Arielle Kebbel is as cute as a button. Her energy and charisma help make her thin part rise above the norm. Carmel Electra & Regina Hall have roles here as well. I will admit that the finale is somewhat bravura, if a bit too conventional. Final Thoughts: It wasn't horrible, though it wasn't very good either. You could do a lot worse, you could also do a hell of a lot better. It doesn't offer much in the way of laughs, aside from a few scenes. 4.8/10

"Mardi Gras: Spring Break" seemed to be yet another of those mass-produced teen comedies with movie covers that all look scarily similar to one another. Despite that, I decided to sit down and watch the movie.Having seen it now, it was not as I had initially thought it to be. The movie was actually enjoyable and had a good enough storyline, though there wasn't anything new to be seen here.There were moments in the movie where I was laughing, especially the scene in the hotel with the over-sized turd. That had me laughing so hard.The people they had cast for the movie were actually doing quite well. Nicholas D'Agosto (playing Mike), Josh Gad (playing Bump) and Bret Harrison (playing Scottie) were having great comedy on the screen and they worked well together. It was nice to see Regina Hall (playing Ann Marie) in the movie, despite it was only for a small supporting role. Of course the name to look at in this movie was Carmen Electra (playing herself). Now, I can't say that I am a fan of her in any way, so I didn't think it was a big deal to see her in the movie. One guy that cracked me up in the movie was Charles Shaughnessy (playing Barry, the Château Clerk), he was hilarious in that role."Mardi Gras: Spring Break" provided good enough entertainment for an evening's worth, but I doubt that it is a movie that I will ever make a second return to watch. It was funny at moments, but the movie was not making an overly lasting impression.If you got no other plans and want to see a comedy, "Mardi Gras: Spring Break" is well worth a watch, if you have no other movie choices at hand.

If you find a fat guy being rude and obnoxious towards others then this is for you. If you find a stupid guy saying completely stupid things funny, then this is for you. If you find a total loser funny then this is for you.This was not for me.It was awful and i highly doubt anyone giving this a good review is being sincere.John Belushi was a class act and funny, the idiot trying to say Josh Gad is the next JB obviously hasn't watched many JB films.Josh Gads character left me wondering why script writers think it's OK to be sexist pigs with moronic thinking in their writing.That's my view in a nutshell with me being brutally honest about it.

I too visited IMDb before viewing this movie, and watched it based on it's rating. I was NOT disappointed. By all means, it's not an 8.1, but it was fun to watch (personally speaking) Films like these have been done to the death, American teens on vacation somewhere, and hilarious events occur. OK, so the occurring events are not side-splitting funny, but they're not dull either. I found the characters to be fresh, and Carmen Electra is always a welcome addition in my eyes.Think American Pie, Superbad etc. Granted, this film does not have the same wow factor as those films first did, but it's along those lines and I think the creators have done a good job.Personally, I enjoyed this film, it's not the funniest, greatest comedy of all time, but there are a lot worse than this, and it makes you feel happy at the end.
