Compress a season's worth of MTV's The Real World into 90 minutes, marry it to a Girls Gone Wild video, and basically you've got The Real Cancun, an ambitious if unwieldy effort to extract a feature film from bawdy footage of a spring break spent in sunny Mexico. Created by The Real World's production team, Cancun tosses 16 attractive college kids into an unrestrained, endless party in paradise, where the waves are majestic, the booze flows freely, and wanton sex--despite free-form nudity and ample opportunity--proves a surprisingly elusive dream. The trouble here is that a lot of spaghetti was thrown at the wall, but none of it sticks: There are too many people, not enough time to develop compelling individual stories or relationship cycles, and an unwillingness among most of the cast to make a leap from relaxed licentiousness to uncensored lust. In other words, there's no payoff anywhere. --Tom Keogh
Description
No Scripts. No Actors. No Rules. Anything can happen on Spring Break-and it did! From the producers of "The Real World" comes The Real Cancun. Wild, hot and provocative, you've never seen a vacation like this before! Sixteen college students embark to Cancun, Mexico for a week and cameras caught their every move-clothed and unclothed.

is a show on dvd.......2007-01-11
is a show like the real world, and the road rules, but in dvd and with an ending, will get you hipper but not the best, if you want the real cancun you better of going there for real.
It's boring and not sure what it wants to be........2006-08-16
On a whim I decided to watch "The Real Cancun" having missed its all to short theatrical release. I am positive I am older than the target audience but "The Real World" and "Road Rules" were brand new when I was in college in the early 1990's and I was a fan of both those series.
This movie was edited very poorly. There are way too many characters to keep track of, and the audience cannot possibly know or care about any of them. The movie follows a simple pattern. We'll start to get a glimpses into some of the characters but then it reverts to a collage of party and beach scenes, followed by a insight from another character then more partying. The movie can't even decide if it cares about any of these kids or if it just wants to be some sort of skin flick, although it doesn't succeed there either because not much skin is shown.
The movie does depict more than a few of the kids in situations they are sure to regret when they are older, especially since the behavior is chronicled and will be available in bargain dvd bins for years to come. The twin girls (I forget there names) come off especially bad.
The extras include interviews with some of the cast members at a premier party. This is especially interesting because they all look mortified. There are several deleted scenes, most of which are boring. There is one scene that I am curious as to why it was excised from the movie and that is the women's wet t-shirt contest. It is a little more raunchy than anything else in the movie (thanks again to the twins), but a little raunch didn't faze the other hour or so of the movie so I continue to be curious as to why it was left out.
In the end this movie has little to recommend it and if you never see it you will not have missed anything important.
Good if you like documentaries.......2006-03-13
Well, many people reviewed this movie as "a sure way to lower your IQ" and "with characters without personalities". I definitely don't share these views. I have a B.Sc. in pure maths and computer science, love classical music and play the piano. So would consider myself above the average intelligence.
The movie itself is a documentry about 16 contrasting characters (cassanova, nerd, virgin, slut, etc) living for one week under the same roof. It gives a better insight into what goes on in young people's minds than any useless psychology textbook.
And every human being has a character. You just have to look into it.
There is a level of awfulness untouched by mere mortals here.......2006-01-09
With movies like Eurotrip, Hostel and Rules of Attraction (if only for a minute) focusing on the ugly American tourist stereotype, it's rather interesting that this "reality" movie takes a straight (albeit contrived by MTV) look at the tourist on vacation looking to score and presents the most despicable, depraved version possible. Do you carry that stereotype of the French being rude to tourists around with you? Well forget it, buddy. After this movie you'll wonder why the French don't kill American tourists and why everyone else is so polite.
A bunch of generic Frat types go to Cancun for drinking and wet t-shirt contests. Many of them "hook up" as the kids call it these days. One gets the "shy kid gets booze and becomes wild man" storyline (and in the extras you discover that the reason why he wasn't getting naked on the beach with the blond has more to do with his girlfriend back home than repression) and the rest get lamer stories. There's one poor guy that spends most of his time playing guitar and must content himself to be solo dude - like Jeff Goldblum in The Big Chill when everyone else is taking full advantage of the college reunion. Although this guy writes really awful songs like "The STD song" and "Back in the 80s" which everyone in the house loves because everyone in the house is drunk.
So why am I giving this movie three stars instead of the customary one? Because it's so awful that it almost makes it to good, but at very least it's important. You will want to slap everyone associated with this movie, so just think about that the next time you're in Europe and can't get a decent cheeseburger and want to complain to the waiter.
This Movie was lame!.......2005-11-20
You ever watch the show Laguna Beach!That show is soo stupid. They take this movie and mix it in with laguna beach and Girl Gone Wild!! PLAIN DUMB! What are we running out of movie to make...I bet you guys were like oh thats make a porn move and release out there on the world. Well thats a dumb move...I hope the creators and those STUPID college kids are out ont he street.
