The other night I thought I can try to find something on Netflix to watch. Well I thought I can give this one a try, and yep! It took away 93 Minutes of my life away. I have watched a few wild and crazy, dirty, comedies on Netflix. I had even viewed Jackass present Bad Grandpa, And it was better than this. Also on the other hand anyone who loves the Hangover films will not be pleased with this film. So my advice is to not to watch this. The plot is all about these two men getting their Drunk friend home before His father gets to him finding him not being there. And the two can never find out where he lives. The two get's caught in Dangerous games, runs from thugs, get caught in a female sexual under world. And many of the scenes are not funny.

I had heard terrible things about this film and boy do I agree with them and I wish I had not bothered with this piece of garbage that is 21 & over. This film sees 3 high school buddies celebrating one of theirs 21st birthday the night before an important interview for him, the night goes crazy and it becomes a trip to get him home. Now the acting in this film is pretty terrible with 99% of the performances being terrible but clearly the one good actor in this film tries his best. Miles Teller the future Mr Fantastic is in this film and he tries his best with an awful script and he is easily the best part of the film and the only funny part. The problem with the story is that this film is seemingly just attempting funny scenes without the story being looked at all and it really hurts this film. The script as I said earlier is terrible with the dialogue being shocking and the situations being utterly absurd. The style is okay with the college thing being cool and I like the style of these films, however, it is so typical these days that you can't give much credit to it. Overall this film is shocking and not worth the 90 mins that you will spend watching it.

'21 and Over' is about two lads who decide to take their friend out for a drink the night before he's due to attend a highly-important job interview. Naturally, things don't go as planned.But then that's the first problem - believability. I doubt anyone would actually agree to go out drinking with people who have a proved history of getting into trouble. Then there are the two 'lads' themselves - one of them is likable enough, whereas the other is a complete ******. He's one of the most unlikable characters you'll ever find... and we're expected to root and care about him for the duration of the film.Then there's the story itself. It tries to be outrageous, but comes across as just dull. There aren't that many 'laugh out loud' moments and there's a pointless love story woven into the plot.People are naturally likening it to an adolescent version of 'The Hangover' or 'American Pie.' However, despite being about going out and getting drunk, this is nothing like the (far superior) Hangover or as happy-go-lucky and enjoyable as American Pie. In 21 and Over there just isn't the same sense of tension. The three boys are 'stranded' in a busy town centre with working mobile phones - hardly the middle of the desert and any trouble they encounter is largely of their own making.Just stick to the Hangover or Pie if you want your fix of teen shenanigans or drinking troubles.

Review: I really didn't enjoy this teenage version of the Hangover, because the acting was terrible, the storyline was ridiculous and it SO unrealistic. The whole teenagers at college thing becomes boring and its nothing that we haven't seen before in movies like American Pie. There obviously left it open for a sequel, which I won't be rushing to see, but judging by the money that it made, I'm sure that they will be laughing all the way to the bank. The casting was appalling and it just seemed like someone has taken lines from every teenager movie. On the plus side, its not long and there are a couple of scenes that were slightly funny. Disappointing!Round-Up: I really can't relate to this teenage at college movies, because they seem so over the top. If this is what happen when you go to college in America then I really don't know how any gets on with any work. Anyway, its definitely not in the league of the original Hangover but it looked fun to make. You have the geek, the wild one and the drunk Chinaman which gets out of hand. Sounds Familiar? Loads of drinking games and parties, which you wish that you was at, but that's about it. Nothing really original.Budget: $13million Worldwide Gross: $42millionI recommend this movie to people who are into there teenage college movies with a concept just like the Hangover. 2/10
