5/10

a J duhamel project

Gotta be honest.... it's never a good sign when the same person writes, directs, and acts in a film. And this film just proves that once again. The younger dillon, the guy from Psyche, Dax Shepard (was awesome in Idiocracy!) get together again after years of being apart. After "the incident". You'll have to see that part for yourself. The acting is (mostly) fine; it's just the story that's too silly. Like an updated Porkys, or a bachelor party movie. They compete in the Buddy Games, for the whole pot of money. There ARE some funny bits every now and then. Part of it is just the shock value of seniors cussing and talking dirty. It's rated R. Written, directed, and acting by Josh Duhamel. Probably best known for Transformers. So far, this is the one film he has written and directed. It won a couple film fest awards. Who knew?
