The Quest

About This Movie

The Quest, directed by Mike Fleiss, straddles the line between comedy and documentary with a raw, almost voyeuristic approach. You follow these seven college kids from Colorado as they plunge into the chaos of Cabo San Lucas for spring break. The pacing feels spontaneous, capturing that wild energy of youth—lots of highs and lows. It's not just about the partying; there are some moments that touch on the thrill of liberation and the absurdity of these escapades. The practical effects? Well, it's mostly handheld, capturing real-life reactions rather than staged setups. The performances are a mixed bag, but that adds to the authenticity. It’s one of those films that feels like a time capsule of a particular moment in youth culture.
