'Spring Breakers' Premieres in South Tampa
The film, starring Selena Gomez in a bikini, opens locally. It was shot in and around the greater Tampa Bay area. Recognize any of the locations?
"Spring Breakers," which was filmed in the Tampa Bay area with some local talent, premieres today in South Tampa and other area theaters. (See movie times below.)
Connie Francis may have started the spring break movie tradition with "Where the Boys Are," set in Fort Lauderdale. But this is not your grandma's spring break. Far from it.
Think "Pulp Fiction" meets "Girls Gone Wild," and you may have just an inkling of what to expect in this film, which stars gun-toting teen starlets in bikinis whose characters get mixed up with some bad seeds in South Florida.

Others worry that it gives a bad impression of the Tampa Bay area as seddy and crime-ridden.
