Before watching this movie, I had actually never heard of it before and, to be honest, I had some very low expectations towards the damned thing. And, indeed, the beginning was pretty lame as it was just way too similar to all the standard High School/College comedies I have seen before. What bothered me even more was that I was supposed to believe that Justin Long was a College Freshman. Seriously, the guy was already 28 years old when he made this flick and, to make things worse, it was seriously obvious when you look at ย the way he talked and his body language. So, the whole thing started pretty bad but then, I have to admit it, I actually got quite caught up by the story and eventually, I thought it was in fact a pretty good concept. Of course, the movie never properly develop this concept and it remained in the safe zone but still, the whole thing was actually not bad at all. I could have been awesome if it would have been a drama instead of a comedy and if they would have actually taken the subject seriously. Still, even if it was nothing great and really predictable, it was a decent watch and I think it is definitely worth a look.
