I also noted two things that were annoying and happened essentially throughout the entirety of the film. There was a constant 'conversation-is-happening-in-the-background-but-they-are-showing-another-scene-to-the-viewer' aspect of this movie. It was almost as if they were narrating over the scenes. But really it was Korine's vision I assume. Constantly flipping from scene to scene, including backwards in time (reminiscing) - yet with this never-ending narrating overtone. And the other thing that annoyed me was there was a droning music that was played throughout - like a soft trance music, instrumental. It would have been fine if it wasn't constant, but really it was overkill. Since I focused on both, I probably half ruined the movie for myself. A movie I was really looking forward to watching.
Ok, so then I get to about 1 hour in and I think this movie has to be a joke. What is happening? Better yet, why? This plot is awful. Rob a store, get money, go to spring break...meet James Franco....1 hour later....??? WTF is going on? I'm pretty sure this movie sucks. Speaking of "sucks", James Franco just gave a BJ to two silencers. And I'm not kidding when I say, that there have been two Britney Spears sing alongs in the movie, one including James Franco playing the piano. But please know that this Franco playing piano and singing Britney scene is better than an "evil" Toby McGuire skipping and dancing through the streets in Spidey part 3.
At the end of the movie comes the plot climax...."wow". Cue an old gang guy, not involved with the movie AT ALL thus far, and he doesn't like James Franco on his turf - so now after 1+ hours there is a plot twist/addition/??. Just bad.
Man...I'm going to ruin this movie for you likely so stop reading. Girl #1 (Gomez) goes home because she is too whimpy (I'm with her) and then girl #2 goes home because she was shot. But girls 3 and 4 stay around to see what happens in thug world???? Really?
Harmony Korine fail. I love you normally man, but this was sub-par. The ONLY cool part of this movie was the fact that James Franco was a gold toothed gangsta, and he did a pretty swell job. The people on review web-sites either loved or hated this film. The ones who loved it seem to think that Korine has some vision that is just plain amazing. I don't get it. The movie was bad. The end.

Also they say "Spreeeing Breaaaaaaaak" like 50 times in this movie....as a narrating overtone, like a replay of Franco saying this. Annoying.
I think Franco is really proud of this movie for some reason, on Twitter hes always posting pics and drawings of himself as that Alien character. And he'll say "SPRANG BRAKE" Lot too.
Homey if you thought this was bad, check out Trashhumpers. No story whatsoever. Even more nonsensical than Julien or Gummo, which I didnt think was possible.
But by the end, Harmony will have quite a collection of madness to display, like crispin glover shit.
Werner Herzog respected Harmony's "skillz" though, he represented in Julien. Remember the scene of Werner drinking NyQuil from his shoe? Epic! And coaching his son how to wrestle trashcans and be a winner?
Korine gets some A-class peeps in his corner for some reason, namsayne? Herzog, Franco, Sevigney, etc. Perhaps we just dont understand his "genius" (excluding Trashhumpers, that was just a retardo experiment I think).
