Following the style of the reality-based programming on the FOX network, The Real Cancun is a feature-length effort to capture R-rated footage of a group of upper middle-class college students on spring break in Cancun, Mexico. Made by the Bunim/Murray production team (responsible for MTV's The Real World) and released in the vulgar wake of Jackass: The Movie, this 90-minute movie features 16 conventionally attractive 18- to 23-year-olds coming from different colleges across the country and encouraged to party like they never have before. There's Alan, the innocent boy from Texas; Casey, the would-be model from Florida; Jeremy, the ladies' man from Arizona; Brittany, the pretty girl from California; and so forth. Romantic pairs, best friends, twins, and other couples are also figured into the group in order to boost the likelihood of hooking-up and/or breaking-up theatrics. Six camera crews follow the group around 24 hours a day during the weeklong vacation in order to catch the highest possible amount of alcohol consumption, nudity, and sexual activity. Participants give interviews and provide relationship updates in-between the dancing, drinking, sunbathing, and general partying. The Real Cancun was filmed in March of 2003 and released theatrically only a month later. Directed by Rick de Oliveira, who made his directorial debut in 2002 with the straight-to-video title Who Wants to Be a Playboy Centerfold? ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

For those who couldn't get enough of what was purported to be "the world's first reality feature," New Line has put together a DVD brimming with bonus features that continue the adventures of the motley crew of spring breakers profiled in 2003 by the creators of MTV's The Real World. Not three months after its theatrical release -- and not six months after the start of principal photography -- The Real Cancun hits shelves in a package that amply plays up the movie's prime attraction -- sex and partying. From the box to the menus, cleavage is in full display; users have to scroll through a main menu sandwiched between a graphic of two not-to-scale mammaries. Once there, they're treated to a host of features including trailers and TV spots, post-movie interviews with the film's post-pubescent subjects, and a unique look at the subjects' reactions to the finished film. The disc faithfully transfers the shot-on-video look of the film, and sound options include Dolby Surround 5.0. Real Cancun is also available in an unrated version featuring content not allowed by the MPAA code. ~ Michael Hastings, All Movie Guide
