The Real Cancun is a 2003 American reality film released on April 25, 2003 in the U.S.

Inspired by the reality television genre, this film followed the lives of sixteen Americans from March 13–23, 2003 as they celebrated spring break in Cancún, Mexico and experienced romantic relationships, emotional strife, or just had a good time.

The film was nominated for Worst Picture and Worst Excuse for an Actual Movie at the 2003 Golden Raspberry Awards. Film director Michael Tully argued that the timing of the film's release during the U.S. invasion of Iraq makes the film's depiction of young American hedonism "one of the more unintentionally brilliant statements of hypocrisy of the decade" and the film itself "a disturbingly relevant historical document".

The film was released to movie theaters only a month after filming was completed, and was released on DVD and home video only a couple of months after that, marking one of the fastest turnarounds ever from production to theatrical release to home video. The movie is also notable as one of the first American mainstream, major studio releases to show non-simulated intercourse between "cast members," although nothing explicit is shown on screen. The DVD release contained additional footage, but the producers chose not to include any explicitly pornographic images.

The movie took in $3,825,000 domestically and $1,520,000 internationally, coming well short of its $7,500,000 production cost. The initial DVD release that followed was, in turn, followed in 2005 by an extended edition DVD that included extra footage.

Some early media reports suggested that this film was a theatrical spin-off of The Real World reality series, also produced by Bunim-Murray Productions, but in fact there was no direct link between the two productions.

Most of the film's cast returned to general obscurity after the movie was released, with the exception of Laura Ramsey who launched an acting career.

Synopsis

The story revolves around bad stand-up comedy performances by Jim Gaffigan, Michael Rispoli and Victor Varnado. The unlikely band of comics travel to a comedy and poultry festival in the country to exercise their art. Later, a follow-up gives a summary of how everyone has progressed since appearing at the festival, with differing levels of success. On the commercially released DVD (approx 83 minutes running time), the outtakes section runs in tandem with the credits for around 5 minutes.

Gambling, Gods and LSD is a "travel diary" that loosely documents director Peter Mettler's "introspective journey" through four countries: Canada, the United States, Switzerland and India. The film consists of four segments, each showing what people do to discover themselves and find happiness.
