Works, in its sleazy-chintzy- lively way, as a documentary version of the American Pie films with a character for everyone in the target demo to claim as his or her own.

The need for writers who can create character and excitement remains unthreatened by efforts to dredge drama from dullards by saturating their environment with cameras and microphones.

Those who sit through this mindlessness get the booby prize.

A 90-minute confessathon minus the bleeped-out cuss words and pixelated breasts.

Even with the wet T-shirt contests and faux drama, The Real Cancun doesn't deliver a whole lot.

Purports to be reality TV's first major incursion into the movie world, but this isn't just loathsome cinema; it would be terrible television, too.

Somehow the movie (which could easily have been titled Dude, Where's My Underwear?) managed to scrape up 16 college-age kids who are so callow they make this fantasy lifestyle look unattractive.

Spring break is meant to be wild and self-serving, packed with embarrassing, even shocking, memories. But when six camera crews follow every step of it -- 'Dude, too much information!'

It actually works as a sometimes funny, occasionally scandalous, but mostly involving narrative.

This is the kind of fare that would be at home on late night cable, where its repetitiveness and mindlessness might offer channel surfers a cure for insomnia.

When young people get drunk and chase the opposite sex, funny things can't help happening.

The possibilities, endless as they may be, never explode into the realm of bacchanal.

As if we needed feature length versions of MTV's "The Real World," served up this weekend is two hours of Cancun hysteria. Is it real? Yup - real dumb.
