Okay, I want to know. Who LIKED this movie?

I see a lot of negative threads on here, and negative reviews everywhere like Amazon and other places. I get it if someone didn't like it, but I guess like a lot of arthouse movies, the masses seem to dislike movies that some reviewers did. I even noticed that it's the same thing from other movies released by A24 like "Under The Skin," "Enemy" and even "Locke" has been given some sort of negative treatment by movie fans. However, I can't say the same thing about "The Rover" or "The Spectacular Now."

Anyway, maybe I am just too open-minded, but I actually liked this movie for some odd reason. Yes, the movie is odd, yes, it doesn't make sense most of the time unless someone were to analyze what was really going on, which I did and I listened to Harmony Korine's commentary and it seemed to make more sense. I have seen this about three or four times. I even own it on Blu-Ray, not to mention that I saw it in theaters.

I can see why a lot of people dislike this movie. It's not a movie for everybody, and it's definitely not a mainstream movie. However, it seems like there is a minority of people who DO like it. I guess I am in that minority.

All I need is one mic...

I liked it too. It's a strange film for sure, and not all of it works. But there was something about it that was just... well, fascinating.

It's an interesting film. It's a bit like knowing when to pull the ripcord on life. You find yourself in a situation that goes beyond your comfort zone and you say I want to go home. But the biggest growth comes from seeing the experience through and realising something about who you are, where you are and where you want to go.

I've noticed that a lot of people who hate movies tend to go online and talk about how much they hate said movie. Personally, if I dislike a movie I move on and don't speak of it. I would rather discuss things I like as opposed to things I don't.

I absolutely love Spring Breakers. It's one of my favorite movies. This is one of my go to movies when I want to take my mind off reality, and I think it was beautifully shot.

I liked it a lot. I loved the scene with Britney Spears' song. It made me think of that song so differently now. Only Harmony Korine could think of that song to go with a scene like that. It was hypnotic. I loved Franco's performance too. I thought he disappeared into the role.
