2021. After spending a year in confinement, a group of high school students and their two teachers begin an end-of-year trip to Mallorca. This great plan is the last opportunity they have to all be together, make up for lost time, be able to have fun like they have never had before and say goodbye to this crazy stage of their lives. However, a new coronavirus outbreak disrupts all their plans and forces them to stay locked in their hotel rooms. More than 50 students, 2 teachers, a hotel and many, many minibars... What could go wrong?

Honestly, I was expecting something much worse. With a title like that, and knowing it was a Prime Video production, the most logical thing was to fear a tasteless teen mess. But End-of-School Trip: Mallorca, while far from good, is at least watchable. That doesn’t mean it escapes all the typical flaws of this kind of film: weak script, poorly developed characters, uneven pacing, and a final message that tries to go deep but stays shallow.
The funny thing is that the movie is based on a real event that made headlines at the time: the COVID outbreak in Mallorca in 2021 that led to a hotel quarantine for a bunch of students. From there, Paco Caballero tries to mix raunchy comedy, social commentary, and generational drama, but he loses control of almost everything. At times, it wants to be Project X, other times Lord of the Flies, and then Good Morning Spain, with a parody that, to be fair, works quite well.
Yolanda Ramos, as always, is the highlight. Just seeing her elevates whatever she's in, although she appears far too little here. The rest of the cast is uneven. Berta Castañé has a decent moment or two, but her character takes so long to explode that by the time she does, we’ve already checked out. The rest of the kids seem pulled from a TikTok casting call, blending apathy and overacting in equal measure.
The worst part isn’t even that. It’s the editing, which makes everything feel disjointed, and that forced attempt at a deep message about generational divide and misunderstood youth. The problem isn’t the idea itself, but how it’s handled—clumsy and one-dimensional, as if everyone over 30 were a soulless boomer and the kids were helpless victims of a system crushing them as they pop pills by the pool. Subtle, it is not.
Still, there are a few redeemable moments. The critique of certain media outlets, the chaotic vibe that fits the post-pandemic anxiety, and a couple of scenes with a bit of spark. But it’s not enough. It feels like the film doesn’t know if it wants us to laugh, think, or relate to characters who just aren’t believable. If it had committed to one clear tone, it could’ve been better. Not a great film, but maybe a more honest one.
