'Spring Breakers' and the 6 Other Worst Movie Vacations Ever

Culture

If you’ve ever gone on a vacation, odds are you’ve had a bad experience. Maybe your car broke down, you missed your flight, your luggage went missing, you got robbed, or (most likely) you just got really, really lost and started crying and verbally destroying your friends out of frustration. Then they didn’t want to go on vacation with you anymore.

But no matter how bad your nightmare vay-cay was, I’m willing to bet it came nowhere close to the ones on this list. These folks had it rough. I mean really rough.

So pack your bags, grab your beer and trail mix, and buckle your seat belts, because here are seven of the worst movie vacations ever:
