    A MTV show with a good soundtrack. You would only like it if you still watch the Real World.

    A fake real world-type movie with lots of promise that leads to nothing...

    The Real Cancun is nothing but shallow morons who like to find themsleves almost nude and in a drunken stupor while being groped by someone else in a similar state. Why do I want to see into this world? Oh yeah, there is a world full of shallow boogers, though. Ah yes, Spring ...( read more)Break. It is a time for the shallow to lather up with creams that enhance the suns rays, speeding up the process of either leather skin or cancer. After all this fun, they put on revealing clothes, get drunk, grope each other, and have meaningless sex in cheap hotels. Do you smell romance? Look at all the movies about Spring Break. They are all created for the shallow and unintelligent; why is this? Poop.

    Good to see a BIT of Cancun. However, you can see from this film why you should NOT stay in Cancun. It's just like America and in this film it's "The Real World" which was real boring. It showed a few clubs like Coco Bongo. Not even an appearance by Snoop Dogg is worth sittin...( read more)g through this MTV crap.

What good documentaries have that The Real Cancun sadly lacks is a good story. full review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

There's a case to be made for The Real Cancun as a document of the mating dance as well as an unintentionally poignant film about the brevity of youth. full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today

Those who sit through this mindlessness get the booby prize. full review
