A Brilliant Conflict

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Three immature college students head down to New Orleans when Mike Morgan's girlfriend Erica has a death in the family for the time of their lives. Bump refuses to take the trip seriously, Scottie has a fling with Carmen Electra. Meanwhile, Mike spots Erica in New Orleans, finding out that she was lying all along. Mike meets another beautiful woman named Lucy (Arielle Kebbel) The question is, can Mike get over Erica?It is what it is. I love raunchy humor. American Pie, American Pie II, American Wedding, and American Reunion are hilarious comedies, as are a few others. I just don't like it when a raunchy film is made to grab a few bucks. This movie is as predictable as they come. The cast is just likable enough to make this movie tolerable. I didn't like how homophobic this movie was. I'm straight myself, but I believe in freedom of doing what you wanna do. It takes digs at gay people in general, then tries to pretentiously paint gay people in a positive light at the end, while still being discreetly crude about it. I was really incensed by it. There are some scenes that made me laugh. Ever seen a guy get raped by a banana? You'll see that in this movie, along with some hints at incest. My favorite scene involves Scottie's trouble with feces. I won't spoil it, but I literally couldn't stop laughing. It's lewd beyond belief. It provides a whole new meaning to the term "S**** hits the fan" Other than that, you get what you expect. An abundance of nudity, crudity, among other things. Josh Gad is OK. I didn't think he was that funny. He overdid it, and got on my nerves. He's the typical overweight comedic guy who does nothing but tomfoolery. Nicholas D'Agosto plays the typical goodhearted male. Females will love him. I thought he was quite good in all honesty. Bret Harrison is funny in places, annoying as others as Scottie. Arielle Kebbel is as cute as a button. Her energy and charisma help make her thin part rise above the norm. Carmel Electra & Regina Hall have roles here as well. I will admit that the finale is somewhat bravura, if a bit too conventional. Final Thoughts: It wasn't horrible, though it wasn't very good either. You could do a lot worse, you could also do a hell of a lot better. It doesn't offer much in the way of laughs, aside from a few scenes. 4.8/10

I've rated it a 5 out of 10 because it's average. On the whole it wasn't very entertaining but it did have it's comedic moment's. It was a bit confusing, in the sense that it didn't 'flow' well, a bit choppy. Some of the actors/actresses were good but the majority of them were very much below average, maybe with the right actors and a few alterations within the script it might have the potential to rate a 7-8/10 - we'll have to just wait and see whether a sequel is made and whether or not it is interesting enough to watch.--------------------Chrisie Wood-Hopps

This film is purely lowest common denominator stuff. Poorly staged poop, boob and dick jokes that don't even come close to raising a chuckle. The cast put in their all, but they can not rise above the terrible script and direction. Especially embarrassed is Josh Gad who did such a fantastic job on Broadway's "Book Of Mormon" recently. The most disturbing element of this film however is the blatant ugly homophobia. Being gay is often discussed as a disgusting and negative thing. Men showing any affection towards each other is greeted with boos and anger by other characters. This whole attitude give the film a feel of something made 20 years ago. If you really want to watch a sex comedy starring Nick D'Agostino, then give this a miss and watch "Fired Up" instead.

I rented this movie not expecting much out of it, figuring it would be a typical teen sex comedy. I was very surprised with how much I got into the movie, and that I laughed out loud throughout the movie. Of course the movie had the t&a that is expected, and the fat friend who is "extreme".. but it also had some depth and you actually cared a bit about the characters. The scene in Carmen Electra's bathroom will be one you won't be forgetting, and it only gets worse as it goes along. I've never been to Mardi Gras, but I also appreciate how they tried to capture at least a bit of the essence of the event and didn't focus entirely on the alcohol, sex, and drugs side of it. All in all a very funny movie, and one I would recommend.
