Spring Break Nightmare

For those not familiar with the term, in the United States, spring break covers March and April, usually for a couple of weeks.This is a fairly mundane, run-of-the-mill, below average kidnap for ransom drama with a bit of betrayal of trust thrown in. To say we've seen it all before is a gross understatement. The kidnappers are inept, to put it mildly, and while trying to kidnap their target, one of them manages somehow to kill her friend. There is minimal police involvement, after all, wouldn't any kidnap victim want her mother to carry out the investigation instead?The film is somewhat prolix too, most of the introduction could be omitted or edited down. Even the soundtrack can't save it.

Head slappingly dumb

I'm not sure which is worse: two kidnappers who have no real reason to do a kidnapping in the first place or the fact that the kidnappee, who is practically a pro athlete, can easily escape from being tied up with ropes but can't manage to run two feet and get away from the bumbling kidnappers. Spoiler alert: at one point, she even jumps into a river to try and get away, but even doing that seems to fails. Apparently, as a surf pro, she can't swim fast enough away from the kidnappers who are themselves not in the river but are on a dingy. Who knew all they had to do is reach down and catch her. She even had a head start on them but their long reach was all they needed. At no point is this an enjoyable movie. But, I can't say I'm surprised given LMN and Lifetime have been lately sacrificing quality for quantity. Nothing is believable about this storyline either. There are just too many excuses: the boyfriend is a gambler, a cheater, a master kidnapper, etc. The mother and the detective are terrible too. What detective would listen to a sketchy phone call from a kidnappee who does a terrible job of pretending not to be kidnapped and not think twice about it? Don't waste your time with this one.
