Description
Four coeds from snowbound Penmore University know that the only place to be during Spring Break is where the boys are. The rites and wrongs of the spring migration of thousands of college students to sunny Fort Lauderdale are celebrated in an era-defining film that combines a cast of 1960s up-and-comers with youthful hijinks and a cautionary will-she-or-won't-she storyline of sex and romance. So many chances for love. So little time!
