Goofs:

Continuity: When the twins are walking up the beach after getting off of the sea doos, Madison is wearing a life jacket in the first shot. The camera switches to Griffin, in which Madison's reflection can be seen in his eyes, and she is still wearing the life jacket. One second later, the camera goes back to Madison, and the life jacket has been removed.

Quotes:

[after Alex and Madison arrive back at the hotel room late]
Harrison:It is 12:15am. How late does that make them Judy?
Judy:Precisely 72 minutes past curfew.
Alex:If we were back home, we'd be 45 minutes early!
Judy:Nice try.

I could have used those brain cells.

This movie is singlehandedly one of the worst films I have ever seen in my entire life. I'm 15 years old and it embarrasses me that there are people my age who actually enjoy this garbage, it gives reasonably mature and intelligent teenagers a bad name. Not only is this film staunchy, pretencious, wasteful, and incredibly egocentric, it actually cost me a few brain cells that unfortunately withered away while watching it. Overall, the filmmakers of this movie are trying extremely hard to make it art-house, (the camera use, etc) but all they end up doing is making fools of themselves and tripping all over this film. And shame on them for using the title of one of the best and most important Sex Pistols songs in this demeening manner!
