I hope the action in Harmony Korine's Spring Breakers picks up after this scene. The film, which will premiere at the Venice Film Festival in September, is about four college girls — played by Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, Rachel Korine and Ashley Benson — who get mixed up with an arms and drug dealer, played by a Kevin Federlinesque James Franco, after they rob a restaurant to fund their spring break vacation and land in jail.
This listless and very blue-hued first clip from the movie appears to be setting up the hotties' motivation for their lawlessness. Apparently, there's nothing like the boredom and brown grass of small-town living to make criminal activity sound like a hoot.
