I understand why people might be down on this movie but I really enjoyed it. It had the right elements of the great party comedy. Great cast. Great party. Maybe I really enjoyed it because I was drinking along with it and wanted it to be good. But is that such a problem to have?
It did feel like it couldn't quite hit the punchline as well as I wanted it to. But if you want to have fun with it you will.
