This romantic comedy pairs Kate Hudson with Matthew McConaughey. Andie (Hudson) is writing a magazine article about how to lose a guy in ten days and wants to try out her ideas on a real guy.

"The
Real Cancun" (2003)
Tagline: "No scripts. No actors. No rules. Anything can happen during
spring break, and it did."
Length:
90 minutes
MPAA Rating:
R for strong sexuality/nudity, language and partying
The concept for this movie is to capture on film the activities of 16 college-age people while they spend a week in Cancún, Mexico, during spring break. The spirit of the movie is rather like that of television reality shows. Of course, there's sun, fun, dancing, a wet T-shirt contest, and hooking up. Many are amused by the sight of guys slurping tequila from girls' navels. But the main activity is drinking large quantities of alcoholic beverages.
