I was browsing Hulu trying to find something that could catch my eye, and this did. At some point before I was even finished with it, I wanted to look up some reviews because I wasn't entirely sure how to feel about the movie and wanted to see what other people thought
To my surprise, I saw that a lot of people said the acting was bad, which is actually the main thing I think this movie did very well. All of the conversations between characters sounded believable, and Alec and Nate reminded me a lot of me and my friend when we were in highschool. There wasn't a point where I thought the acting was bad at all, it all seemed very real
But to me, I think the weak aspect of the movie was the plot. It was very basic, cliché and predictable. A couple of old highschool friends (one who has matured a bit since highschool, and one who hasn't) do some drugs, run into a crazy former classmate, and meet some hot babes on their trip to go to an wedding for someone they hung out with in highschool. While very simple, the movie was still entertaining enough to get me to the end
The movie's categorized as a comedy, but I only laughed maybe twice throughout it. Comedy definitely isn't what kept me hooked, instead I was just interested in where the story would go (which wasn't much of anywhere overall). I think this is because it uses a lot of stoner humor, something I've seen way too much of over the years and it's just gotten stale at this point
One thing I really don't understand is the weird, unexpected 4th wall break at the end. When the subtitle popped up, saying "blah blah blah until the wedding", I actually teared up a bit because of how well-done and unexpected it was, it was an adorable moment. And then equally as unexpected, Nate suddenly acknowledged the subtitle and says he's not ready to get married in a couple years, causing Amy to immediately hate him and storm away, and ruining the moment from before. I'm really not sure why they decided to do this. It was shocking, which I'm sure is what was intended by it, but it was totally unnecessary and I feel like "aww" feeling was way better than the "WTF" feeling
But overall the movie wasn't awful, but it definitely won't be remembered by many since it doesn't do anything special. I probably would have given it less than 6 stars, but like I said the acting was pretty good in my opinion, despite a lot of people on here saying it was trash, and it was also entertaining enough to not make me hate myself for wasting my time on it. If you're looking for movies on Hulu, can't find anything good to watch, and you haven't seen this, I'd say give it a shot. But it's definitely not a must-see.
