In Theaters This Weekend: Reviews of 'Spring Breakers,' 'Admission' and More
What THR's critics say about the movies opening this week.
From a movie about four college girls' wild spring break trip to a family-friendly 3D-animated comedy-adventure, there's a flick for everyone at the box office this weekend.
Harmony Korine's raunchy Spring Breakers stars Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Benson and Rachel Korine as four college gal pals who successfully rob a restaurant to fund their spring break trip. When they find themselves charged and arrested for drug possession, a hustling gangster (James Franco) bails them out to do some dirty work for him.
For a more family-friendly feature, DreamWorks' 3D-animation The Croods tells the story of a prehistoric family on a road trip that will change their cave life forever. The film, directed by Chris Sanders and Kirk DeMicco, is voiced by Nicolas Cage, Ryan Reynolds, Emma Stone and Catherine Keener.
