Spring Breakdown | Movie Review| MovieBitches Retro Review Ep 22

We review a hidden gem - Spring Breakdown. The nearly unheard of MTV Spring Break parody featuring Amy Poehler, Parker Posey, and Rachel Dratch (as well as A TON of other cameos). It's not quite at cult classic levels, but the cast is fabulous, the costumes are amazing, and there're one-liners for days!

[@diegodelarosa998]

In the words of Alexis Michelle, director/producer/actor, this movie has some “Great 90’s Energy.”

[@pepelegal1989]

She got nearly blinded, let's not forget that! 😂😂😂

[@MinaF99]

That josie and the pussycats vhs in the background is not even ok, I need the retro review I NEED IT

[@bens3963]

We already had a 90's nostalgia era and then it regressed to 80's and now I'm just waiting for throwback posts about the great depression.

[@misssweetnothings5094]

Parker Posey is giving me a lot of Sandra Bullock circa Practical Magic which I'm not mad about.

[@archive9796]

Hint hint Practical magic Retro Review now pls

[@RLanceHunter]

Oh man, I sought this out years ago because they shouted it out on 30 Rock. In the episode Rosemary's Baby, the movie Carrie Fisher's character is writing was a sub-tweet-ish reference to this. (“Women in their fifties go on Spring Break and get laid by a bunch of grateful 18-year-olds!”) Oddly enough, I tried to find a clip of that quote online and now it looks like they changed the line to "Women in their fifties join the army...", but there are reviews of the episode from the time that quote the original line. ----- Oh yeah, and the Jane Lynch character is based on famed Texas senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, and while the reference is pretty obscure now, I can assure you that in the late 00s it was *cutting* satire.

[@chezraye21]

I agree that Missy Pyle is the best!!

[@bradenpoapst]

Speaking of Parker Posey, #CanWeTalkAbout how in a better world she would've been a Best Supporting Actress nominee for underrated classic from 2001, Josie and the Pussycats? Real talk though, if you guys ever were interested in doing a retro review of that, I would be so into it! And the casting is INSANE (Alan Cumming! Parker Posey! Rosario Dawson! Rachel Leigh Cook! Tara Reid! Missi Pyle! Seth Green! The list honestly goes on.)

[@RLanceHunter]

Josie and the Pussycats is THE MOST underrated of underrated classics.

[@courtneyjohnsonhaber4591]

Josie and the Pussycats is super fucking underrated. I cannot believe it only has 47% on Rotten Tomatoes

[@teetee74122]

"Generic hot guy" is now on "This is Us"

[@njuta]

and he looks exactly the same, some people don't age.

[@carveylover]

@@njuta he is like 43 too! Can you even!

[@jessicakomisar9036]

Justin Hartley

[@ryanpooley]

"Its called freeform now" 😂

[@druzillalafae2128]

My Aunt apparently got call from the people who made this movie to get permission to use her name, Becky St. Germain.

[@lukewarmmess_]

Holy shit so glad you guys reviewed this. Been one of my all time faves since it first came out, and sourced a DVD all the way in rural Australia and showed all my friends in high school. Now living in Japan and found a Japanese DVD of it and spreading it around here like a girl power disease ❤️

[@jordankerkvliet3917]

YESSSS! I Sent you guys a message about this movie on some place a few months ago and here it is!!!! I'm so happy you guys made this video UGGHGHGHGHGHGHG

[@danielelder5779]

It is so much easier to make a good good movie than a good bad movie.

[@xingcat]

I just got Parker Posey's "You're On an Airplane" autobiography for my birthday, so this is perfectly timed for me!

[@pepelegal1989]

Rachel Dratch's lover is in This Is Us, one of the protagonists, Justin Hartley.

[@nerdgoddes27]

Oh, that's where i know him from. i was like no wait why do I know him I didn't watch revenge

[@aussieskates]

You had me at Parker Posey.

[@MeganSin]

I only ever heard of this (because I love justin Hartley, from back when he was in this terrible soap opera called passions, which if you have never seen or heard of passions, look it up! It's no dante's cove, but pretty campy. Juliet mills was in it and she had a doll that came to life because she was a witch and then later an orangutan and also had a kid even though she was well into her 50s-60s, it was great!) but never seen it. Thank you for reviewing it.

[@Paddrique]

Omg The Young and Hungry Guy is also the hairdresser friend from She’s The Man

[@Horridhendy]

I love Parker Posey...and Missi Pyle.

[@olienedubois9592]

We Travel To Los Angeles With My Friends In College During Spring Break April 17,2016. We Headed To The Beach, had Pepperoni Pizza, Chips, Brownies And Sunkist Soda, Root Beer.

[@jordangrosshart8783]

Retro review Josie & the Pussycats???? 🙏🏼

[@Horridhendy]

You know, this review made me think, say what you want about "Will & Grace" but it really gave some FABULOUS cunts some FABULOUS recurring roles like Parker Posey, Molly Shannon, Lesley Ann Warren and of course, the unsinkable Debbie Reynolds.

[@bensmithee7561]

Isn't Rachel Dratch love interest the guy from This Is Us?

[@bl00dynight666]

I happened across this movie one night just flipping channels and I loved it. Never thought I'd see a review of this strange movie. Rachel Dratch(sp?) is just great.

[@EJMoreno]

At first, I thought this was a review of Spring Breakers and I cheered. Then I saw it's about Spring Breakdown and I am even happier. I remember seeing it randomly once and loving it. Dammit, another great retro review!

[@nathancreek6086]

speaking of Rachel Dratch, when are we getting a Hurricane Bianca 2: From Russia With Hate review? Honestly, it's better than the original and I laughed at a couple of the jokes (especially the Alaska cameo)

[@nathancreek6086]

@@khabirgaiarsa7896 it's when they first check into the motel in Russia

[@sophiaako7663]

I saw this movie once, 9 years ago, and I still remember the petrified underwear scene whenever I stay at a motel

[@chezraye21]

I started watching this & suddenly realized I had seen this movie before & loved it!! Thanks for reminding me, I gotta hunt it up & watch it again. I have a feeling it prob gets better every time u watch it!

[@tonyj5918]

I’ve literally just never loved or needed you guys more

[@sunlovin641]

This is one of my favorite movies. Thanks for reviewing this!

[@iain9757]

I think the 90s haven’t come back as they haven’t left like Harry Potter is still going & Pokemon, and speaking of Pokemon if they ever did a live action version Missi Pyle has to be Jessie

[@serenityq26]

well she has a tv show on youtube read called impulse and she is NOT typed casted in that. check it out! great show

[@carsonkaiser5395]

HOW did this movie get made?!

[@yriz89]

Wait. Are the VHSs in the back indicative of upcoming reviews??? Because I am so ready for Josie and the Pussycats

[@shuster6015]

Omgomgomg, I totally saw Pick of the Litter this summer! Such a cute movie! I get so happy when I understand your references 😆

[@jimbobjones6917]

I would love it if you guys did a Fired Up retro review! That movie has brought me to tears from laughing so hard so many times.

[@dizzydemeter]

YASS PARKER POSEY! Please retro review The House of Yes! 🙏🏻

[@abbyroed]

Can we retro review Adam & Steve?! Please!!!! And, I know you guys hear this everyday but YOU are awesome, amazing, valued and appreciated. Thank you for all you do!!!

[@archive9796]

“An SNL skit turned into a film” So Retro Review of ‘It’s Pat’ is coming

[@NiamhOBx92]

Omg Rachel dratchs love interest in this movie is the white brother from this is us 🤯

[@ianbrundige9069]

The cut at 21:37 Andrew has a hilarious facial expression

[@VaranasiVids]

Girl, trading in a first class ticket for three coaches is absolutely something you can do still! I just went to Seoul and Tokyo for exactly that reason lol #livingthefantasy

[@carveylover]

Justin Hartley is in This Is Us. He is handsome and looks good for his mid 40's . I remember seeing the cover of this movie when I worked at blockbuster I might have to give it a whirl.

[@johnn.5033]

Wow, I was going to say he is only 38, but I looked it up and he is in his 40's. Usually 38 is right around that age when men start to lose their initial luster. They either go full force and try to stay in shape, or they slowly start letting themselves go.

[@hunner1210]

For another retro review, I would love Romy & Michelle’s high school reunion! Or for a foreign film Pan’s labyrinth or Tampopo (if you’re into western Japanese 90s comedies about ramen that are weird as hell)

[@LB-gz3ke]

I loved Tampopo. The search for the perfect noodle. I saw it with a friend and we always quote "Eat. It is the last hot meal your mother will ever cook!" I have never known anyone else who ever watched it, lol.

[@Laurenjoinsyoutube]

This kind of movie is my favorite type of movie. I hate when they are too serious and I love parody movies

[@scorpionqueen11]

23:02 if only miss Coco Peru could have made a lil cameo for that line. 😂

[@maureenflaherty1783]

Now I've got to see this

[@651LYS]

I’ve seen just bits of this movie and I’m pretty excited to watch it eventually one day. I love Rachael Dratch.

[@tonyj5918]

One of my coworkers was talking about Halloween movies and out of the blue and said she loved sleepaway camp

[@blindmandan]

Another amazing retro review from my favorite favorite movie bitches exclamation will actually be only movie bitches! Again you made this blind guy very happy I am catching these retro reviews as fast as I can listen to them. This one came across at the top of my list today and I was like is this a richer review of spring breakers? But I was pleasantly surprised to find out exactly what this movie was about so thank you. You both are so amazing at giving me as a blind guy where most movies like these kind of movies are not in Descriptive Audio so I just wanted to say thank you so much for giving me enough information about the characters in some scenes to actually enjoy a movie that doesn’t have Descriptive Audio. For this fact alone I bow down to both of you with grace and amazement! I know that I am rambling but thank you for providing a service that is highly lacking for us blind folks! Love Parker Posey and I’m going to get this on iTunes I know I’m a pain in the butt hopefully in a good way but I am really really really wanting a retro review of showgirls! Pretty pretty please! I will be patient I just want to know hopefully that it is on your list that’s all I can ask!

[@tonyj5918]

I literally got into an argument with someone about marky mark and the funky bunch vs Donny and the new kids on the block at work the other day

[@tonyj5918]

Also he older I get the more I relate to Kristin and her bad girl rep from the hills and laguna beach

[@florescent93]

This was one of the last few movies I rented from a video store. I've watched it a few times and its funny and messy and a lot of its faults are compensated for by Poehler Posey and Dratch being hilarious and weird. I haven't revisited in a while but I loveeee that you guys reviewed it. This just confirms my suspicions that we would be friends.

[@jaso4455]

I remember watching this movie a lot when it came out on the movie network. Like if this was on tv now I would still watch it

[@tonyj5918]

I literally love this movie

[@ragu819]

I've never heard of this but it has all my faves. Gonna go find it and I'll be back to watch you poetic, noble land mermaids later. Parker Posey ❤ 'No, that's a bear in a, in a bee costume'.

[@radlee974]

Hiya, loves! Please don't forget about "Bad Times At The El Royale", which comes out October 12!! 😘😘 (Dear God I hope it's as good/entertaining as it appears to be, especially if the heaven's align and you two actually watch and review it!!! Anyway, great review per usual!! And you guys were 100% correct in that I've never heard anything about this movie!! I'm even more inclined to do so after seeing what all ya'll had to say!! (I was in as soon as you guys said it starred Amy, Parker, and Rachel!)

[@tonyj5918]

Also had no idea that freeform was a rebrand

[@tonyj5918]

My first concert was David Wilcox my parents were lit af, and I was like 9 yea good times lmfao

[@cigarsir]

Missi Pyle is so underused by Hollywood. She is an awesome physical comedian who should be much more famous than she is.

[@iain9757]

Do I see Josie and the Pussycats ? Now that movie was ... very different

[@dmolinah]

GUYS!!!! Retro review of SUSPIRIA!!!! Before the new one is released!!!!

[@cigooden]

Justin Hartley was also Green Arrow on Smallville

[@cooker1100]

I liked before the ad at the start was even over

[@Lukas50667]

Ok you need to review the amazingly trashy Mess that is Hurricane Bianca 2!!! 😂 Btw great work guys 👌🏻

[@Goldie4tv]

Love that movie

[@estelar8336]

I need the princess diaries retro review

[@tonyj5918]

Literally I relate more and more too her

[@DarkMask6667]

Man, I remember Revenge of the Nerds, back when I was younger, I'd see those movies all out of order on Comedy Central. Revenge of the Nerds HAS to be on the list, right?

21:51 yessss, Andrew calling it 5 years ago🎉 "So really, f**k you!"

[@tonyj5918]

Omg Charlene is everything

[@PinkNiffler]

OMG I cannot belive you did a review of this. I used to really like it but the last time that I saw it was so long ago, it might be a signal that I should watch it again but I'm affraid I'll hate it. 😐😐

[@tjking1380]

Still waiting on that Dante’s cove review.👍😁

[@RichardApperition]

90s nostalgia incoming in 2019, Captain Marvel and Dark Phoenix are set in the 90s

[@luisc1703]

"I wanna see some balls" it's my favorite quote of this movie

[@Laurenjoinsyoutube]

Where can I find this movie?

[@emberchord]

I am subbed now because I kept seeing clips in the rucaps and I think the guy was very attractive :D

[@ptboy18]

You're new, let me break it down: That's Avaryl(our mom) with literally a roladex of infinite movie wisdom in her brain. That's Andrew (our dad) with the power to fix any movie and also the meatiest tuck in Tuckahoe Women's Prison....welcome ^.^

[@emberchord]

living for the meaty tuck and the infinite movie wisdom!

[@MeganSin]

After rewatching this I came up with a really great missi Pyle lead comedy. So this is my pitch, it's like a comedy version August osage county, and she is the middle child of 3 girls. Elaine Hendrix (aka meredith from parent trap) is her older sister (I used to get her and missi Pyle mixed up as kid because they look so similar) and riki lundhome is the youngest sister and Holland Taylor is the mother. And missi is the black sheep but she tries so hard, but nothing goes her way. I think it would be a good movie.

[@MeganSin]

Actually I figured out what the movie should be. Missi's dad died of a heart attack or stroke. She is an unsuccessful lingerie designer. Her father was her hometown's tailor and in his will, he gifted her his old tailoring shop and the town is very conservative and she instead converted it into a lingerie store and helps all the stuffy conservatives get out of their comfort zones and feel sexy again. And one of those ladies, is her older sister who has a very vanilla life with her husband and kids. And her younger sister is one of her assistants and keeps flirting with all the men who come into the store looking for stuff for their wives. It's more like the dressmaker meets to wong foo.

[@Buttercupaatea]

Apparently there will be a young and hungry movie in the future

[@lynette12]

I think i've seen this movie before... Gonna look it up again. Thanks, bitches!

[@craigwilliams7496]

Please review ‘A Simple Favor’?

[@lordwalker71]

That’s Sophie Monk

[@D3z1n3r]

I would have liked the Rock in the Seth Meyers role. He was funny playing this in Be Cool. Just an FYI, you can rent this on Amazon Prime for $2.99.

[@kylesharp6035]

I don't know if he's said anything about it in other interviews but I watched a Vanity Fair roundtable where he talked about it and it didn't sound like he was embarrassed about the movie per se. They just asked him what his most embarrassing IMDB credit was and he said Spring Breakdown cause he was billed as "Abercrombie Guy."

[@VaranasiVids]

Omg thaaank you for bringing this movie into my consciousness!! #tomigatchirealness

[@alexanderlangton3190]

Um ok wow this movie looks fabulous, this brand of ridiculousness could only exist in the noughties and i'm very much here for it

[@alibird7924]

You guys should review American Horror Story Apocalypse Ik Andrew doesn’t like scary things, but it isn’t that bad and I think y’alls commentary would be hilarious

[@britneybitch420]

Pls tell me drag race season 4 is coming soon!!! Also this is a great video

[@elliotharris416]

due to Movie Bitches I can never revenge the normal way ever again. RE-VAUNGE!!!!

[@tonyj5918]

Also he was in pitch perfect

[@chrisguevara]

This sounds like one of those movies that's funny on the 10th time you watch it.

[@merykey2378]

amber tamblyn was actually Joan from Joan of Arc. Mae Whitman was Her?

[@twin3290]

You can literally buy it on KZbin movies

[@Jacobyeavello]

I fear the review of Josie and the Pussycats.

Love the "I slept with my uncle!" girl. She was great in Date Movie

[@tomredwest]

what about reviewing STRANGERS WITH CANDY?

[@Horridhendy]

Well, I laughed out loud a LOT at your review. But I've now learnt from previous experience that that does not mean that I will laugh at the movie. :)
