Movie Reviews of Winter Break (Widescreen)
Movie Review: Soundtrack is awesome
Summary: 3 Stars
The movie was pretty good. However the soundtrack is awesome. I have been going to see Bottle of Justus play for the past 5 years. They are awesome guys with an awesome band. I am so happy to see how far they have come. I encourage everyone to go out and buy their CD's.Movie Review: Sound track is better than movie!
Summary: 3 Stars
The movie is OK but it is carried by the sound track. Some cool new bands like Jonasay and Bottle of Justus. May be better to buy that instead!Movie Review: Features listed on box not on disc
Summary: 2 Stars
Although "deleted scenes" are promised on the back cover of the box, there are no deleted scenes on the DVD. Instead there's a perfunctory "documentary" which interviews the cast and other creators, who recite a common litany of how much fun it was to make the film. In this short segment there are a very few informal shots of the players that aren't in the film, but there are no deleted scenes in the normal usage of the term. Rather disappointing since the cast in audio commentary talks about seemingly dozens of neat scenes that "hopefully will be in the DVD deleted scenes section."
Also, although the box promises "2.35 wide screen," the film is pan-and-scan and only slightly letterboxed at about a 1.85 to 1 ratio. Some of the scenes are annoying because of the missing portion of the image.
Also, it's not a gross teen comedy as the box copy suggests, more of a puppy-love romance with the "four buddies" comedy stuff as a sidebar. Which makes it potentially better, I guess, but it suffers from a lack of talent, especially in Ventimiglia's acting and in the writing. Very anemic; not much here. In the key scenes the players just hem and haw, since they're not given much to say. Kevin Kirkpatrick, in a small part, is way beyond the rest of the cast in acting sophistication. He draws a very perceptive portrait; extremely funny, but not a typical caricature, the most real character in the movie.
Movie Review: Go someplace else on break
Summary: 1 Stars
From the box cover & the rating, this movie would appear to be a party movie that takes place @ a Colorado ski resort. Well, it does take place in Colorado, but that's where the veracity of the box cover ends. Despite an "R" rating for sexuality, this was a "PG" film at best. While there are some hot babes in the film, there is absolutely no nudity in it - zilch. If, like me, you're enticed to buy this DVD based on the provacative girl on the cover, I would urge you to look elsewhere.
As for the story itself, well......I just found it boring. It's not really a comedy as the only funny scene is at the beginning when the Duke grad finds out there aren't any Wall Street jobs available for him. Meanwhile, he owes Duke university $250,000 for tuition. Bummer! At that point I thought the film was going to be what I thought it was, but the rest of it was basically just a lame soap opera.
Movie Review: worst movie I have ever seen!

I am not kidding. This matt kid spends the entire timesaying all the philosophy stuff that doesn't apply.
the hot chick is actaully not as hot as the side kick.
the jokes were lame and I thought they filmed it on the first shot everytime. it was very predictable and maybe worth watching
just because it is terrible.
