By 1985, some 370,000 students were descending on Fort Lauderdale (or fondly, "Fort Liquordale") annually - prompting yet another exploitative film, Spring Break starring Tom Cruise and Shelley Long...

The stupor Bud drinks himself into each evening leaves him barely able to drag himself to work the next morning, let alone care for his young daughter Molly (Madeline Carroll). His employer has been "insourcing" Mexicans who'll work for less money and firing hapless guys like Bud. It's no wonder that feeling disenfranchised, disaffected and perennially dissed, he belongs to what would be by far the largest U.S. political party: the We Don't Voters...
