Rated R
Starring Skylar Astin, Camilla Belle, Chad Michael Murray
Written and Directed by Herschel Faber
The Story:
Dean (Astin) and his buddies all like to party in their loft. Facing eviction, they are going to go out in style. Dean's romantic life is not coming together like all of his pals, and his best friend Tess (Belle) is that perfect girl right under his nose.
I bet you can't guess where this is heading, can you?
So, for those of you who read yesterday's review, this is falls into the same category.
Thankfully there are a few differences:
1) The running time: under 90 minutes.
2) The humor is a bit more romantic comedy friendly even though the movie is trying for an R rated comedy.
Not to say that it's perfect, far from it.
There's some scenes that don't really work. Not funny enough. Kind of dragging the storyline at other times.
Most of it is saved by the chemistry between Astin and Belle. He helped make the chemistry in Pitch Perfect, and he brings the charming everyman appeal to this one as well.
Final Grade: C
Rewatchability/Purchase Factor: Nothing in here worth coming back for seconds. It was barely tolerable enough for one full viewing.
