==Production and release==
The script was developed by [[Rachel Dratch]] and Ryan Shiraki, who were colleagues on ''[[Saturday Night Live]]''.<ref>{{Cite web |date=May 13, 2009 |title=The Ladies Make Him Laugh |url=https://www.brownalumnimagazine.com/articles/2009-05-13/the-ladies-make-him-laugh |access-date=April 14, 2022 |website=Brown Alumni Magazine |language=en}}</ref> ''Spring Breakdown'' was filmed in 2006 and was initially created by [[Rogue Pictures]] as an "R-rated [[spring break|spring-break]] [[farce]]"; it was then sold to [[Warner Independent Pictures]] as a PG-13 film and underwent a long [[post-production]] period.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Keeps |first=David A. |date=January 22, 2009 |title=Ryan Shiraki’s ‘Spring Breakdown’ is his big break |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2009-jan-22-et-sundance22-story.html?_ga=2.107683968.322378966.1649955344-552815845.1649955343 |access-date=April 14, 2022 |website=[[Los Angeles Times]]}}</ref> The ''Los Angeles Times'' described the film’s post-production:<blockquote>“''Spring Breakdown''” might be a case study of recession-era managed expectations and the sometimes-uneasy alliance between independent auteurs and bottom-line-fixated studios. The script about three women attempting a college “do-over” -- which might be neatly described as “''[[Where the Boys Are]]''” meets “''[[Revenge of the Nerds]]''”…endured a long post-production period, and then sat on the shelf awaiting release.<ref name=":0" /></blockquote>The score to ''Spring Breakdown'' was composed by [[Deborah Lurie]] who recorded her score with the Hollywood Studio Symphony conducted by Blake Neely and recorded by Greg Dennen at the Eastwood Scoring Stage at [[Warner Brothers]].<ref name="scoring">{{cite news |author=Goldwasser |first=Dan |date=July 24, 2008 |title=Deborah Lurie scores ''Spring Breakdown'' |work=ScoringSessions.com |url=

==Reception==
{{Rotten Tomatoes prose|50|5.8|12||ref=yes|access-date=September 23, 2024}}
''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' magazine called the film "energetic but uninspired" with a "party-boatload of comedic talent [that] is fairly wasted" and notes:
<blockquote>There are funny lines scattered about, and the pacey pic has an aptly cheesy look dominated by the neon hues of tropical drinks and thong wear. But the situations offer no real satiric finesse on familiar genre [[Trope (literature)|tropes]] — [[wet T-shirt contest]], drunken puke-outs, a climactic talent show triumph — and the rote [[Girl Power|girl-power]] message rings unironically hollow.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Harvey |first=Dennis |date=January 19, 2009 |title=Spring Breakdown |url=https://variety.com/2009/film/markets-festivals/spring-breakdown-1200473242/ |access-date=April 14, 2022 |website=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]] |language=en-US}}</ref></blockquote>
