Goofs:

Plot holes: At the beginning of the movie it is noted that this is the college reunion of the class of 1985. During the movie the character's mention that they sung the song "18 til I Die" during college and that is when their friendship was cemented and they were bonded together for life. They could not have in fact sung this song when they were in college as it was not released until 1996 by Bryan Adams on the album of the same name.

Surprisingly effective golf comedy

I saw a close-to-final cut of this movie and was pleasantly impressed. It is pretty unassuming but manages to touch on that yuppie reunion drama-comedy niche without being overly cloying. Kevin Dillon pulls off the misfit with the heart of gold character and is able to carry the film. The nudity is fairly mild and not particularly exploitive -- you gotta commend a 40-ish, non-svelte actress for being willing to trounce around naked on a golf course at night! Plus the movie has got its share of genuine chuckles and a few good laughs (which is more than you can say for a lot of outright so-called comedies). Golfers will enjoy it but anyone could do a lot worse for a rental.
