Sundance called ''Spring Breakdown'' an "outlandish, quick-witted romp that jubilantly leaves none immune to ridicule" and a film that "chews up our geeky gals and spits them out triumphant powerhouses—confident that being who they truly are is way cooler than fitting in." ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' magazine called the film "energetic but uninspired" with a "party-boatload of comedic talent [that] is fairly wasted" and notes:<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.variety.com/review/VE1117939381.html|title=Spring Breakdown |last=Harvey |first=Dennis |date=January 19, 2009 |publisher=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]] | accessdate=2010-02-24}}</ref>
