This cliché-ridden ode to collegiate irresponsibility, selfishness and stupidity is for people who considered The Hangover too mature. A graduating college senior is visited by his two best high-school friends on the eve of his med school interview, to take him out for “one beer.” Things get out of hand. Ho hum. Note to filmmakers: dumb doesn’t automatically mean funny, and this is more exhausting than funny anyway. Drunk driving, binge drinking, gun violence, slo-mo projectile vomiting, a cavalier attitude toward suicide and borderline sex crimes, slurs against Latinas, Serbs, and Jews. Miss it twice.
