(March 30, 2009 – Burbank, CA) – Re-live the joys and heartbreaks of college spring break when the hilarious comedy “Spring Breakdown” arrives on Blu-ray and DVD June 2nd from Warner Home Video.
Thirtysomething best friends Gayle (Amy Poehler), Becky (Parker Posey) and Judi (Rachel Dratch) have always dreamed of being fabulous. But they never grew out of being geeks. So when Becky gets the opportunity to unofficially chaperone her boss’s daughter Ashley (Amber Tamblyn) to the college spring-break destination of South Padre Island, the ladies decide to turn their tragically un-hip lives around and party with the beer-and-bikini set. Through keg-stands, hookups and foam parties, Becky, Gayle, Judi and Ashley are about to discover that it’s better to stand out than to fit in.
