I enjoyed the movie, is was fun if a little ott. But the ending was pretty ridiculous. 2 teenages girls taking on an army of gangsters and not getting shot once? How inept were those men?
I'm talking Jackson, Mississippi!
agreed. they should have died in the ending. would have made a more powerful ending if they together with franco would have gotten slaughtered
I am Tigro, bow down to my greatness.
It was a dream sequence. The girls actually died in the final shootout... at least, that's how I interpret it.
"You're entitled to your wrong opinion. That's fine."
I related the ending back to the beginning of the film when one of the girls says, when they're preparing to rob that restaurant, something like, "Pretend it's a video game or you're an actor in a movie". And that's how the ending played out. Two poorly-armed, inexperienced shooters gunned down several gangsters without a scratch. I didn't count, but there didn't seem to be more than ten gangsters and none went for cover, so give the girls a little credit.
It was "magical", as Faith (and maybe the other girls) described their spring break experience. Without magic, they would have died. Now that I think about, the two girls surviving and escaping is the best possible ending. They came down to St. Pete's Beach, had a blast and left.
" but there didn't seem to be more than ten gangsters and none went for cover, so give the girls a little credit."
Don't you think that's a little silly? As much as I disliked this vapid excuse for an apparently "meaningful" film, I'm always open to people's ideas and opinions whether they like it or not. But give the girls credit? Ten trained body guards who's ONLY job it is to protect their boss and home, strategically placed out across the property whom not to mention totally outgunned the two air-head girls...who have never fired a gun or killed someone...need I go on? There is just no plausibility in that whatsoever. The only explanation I would have accepted(liked?) is if they really got killed, with their phone calls to their parents about changing their lives being the takeaway. That, at least, would help this movie end on some kind of meaningful/artistic merit.
I would've gave them more credit if they actually reloaded their guns at least once. Lmbo
But the ending was pretty ridiculous.
I agree completely. Up until the end the film held my interest.....but it simply lost all credibility, 2 teenage girls shooting a small army of gangsters and then driving away in the dead guys Lamborghini- please!! Would've been so much more powerful, not to mention realistic, if they'd died in that final shootout after taking a few of them down Peckinpah style ?
shareThat made me indeed laugh that their feminist message is always outrageous, such as "a couple girls in bikinis can take on many gangsters and easily handle them all".
