Goofs

When Jason is on his way home from his date with Ellie he calls Mikey and ask if he is home. Mikey than ask how it went with the "hooker" and Jason goes onto explain. The next morning when Mikey comes home and burst into Jason's room he asked again "How did things go with the hooker?" But he already should have known from his phone conversation the night before, so there was no reason for him to bust into the bedroom.

User Reviews

Awkward? Not really.

I went into this film, hoping it would be a really fun film with over the top moments, but on the whole it wasn't that completely. Though it wasn't as good as I hoped, it was still pretty good. It had some funny moments and an always great performance by Miles Teller, but it didn't completely feel relatable to me and the characters didn't really seem that believable. There were some bits of dialogue and scenes that I really liked of course, which is why I give it a higher rating than it deserves, but they were very few and far between and I wanted more. It is nice to see a film like this being made in the first place, something different and more original than what has been released in a while, so I will give it props for that. If you've seen the trailers, chances are you'll see the film and it won't completely disappoint you I don't think. Give it a shot! :)
