More like “Project Pointless.” If you’ve ever seen a movie where a couple of teenage guys are real nerdy and decide to change it by throwing a wild ass house party, you’ve seen this movie. There’s not really a “plot” per say, and the characters are all arch-types we’ve seen in everything from Superbad to every Todd Philips movie ever made, so I can’t really come up with a single reason to recommend this movie.
What Works: Most critics take issue with this movie because it’s “sleazy” or “salacious” but most critics are ridiculous prudes if they really think that. This movie isn’t offensive in any kind of moral way—-it’s pretty widely established that teenage boys like naked girls and dick jokes, shouldn’t really shock anyone who’s been alive on this planet—-and probably suffers from the opposite problem of being too tame. There’s nothing in here (drugs, drinks, midgets) that you wouldn’t expect to see in a movie like this, and so I just wasn’t quite convinced that this party was really so “wild” and/or “crazy.”
What Doesn’t Work: You’ve probably figured it out by now, as both of the first two paragraphs really detail what’s wrong with it more than what’s right with it.
What I Would Have Done Differently: Thrown in a wild, man-eating tiger—-oh wait, that was Hangover. Uhhh, oh, had a guy with a fake I.D. calling him “Mclovin,” oh wait, that was pretty much the only real joke in Superbad. Uhhhh, damn, uhhhh, maybe set this movie in Bangkok? Damn, Hangover II, oh well…I guess not made it at all then.
This movie was hillarious but it wasnt the best movie of all time.
