An average movie

I wasn’t expecting much from the damned thing but since I have a weak spot for Miles Teller, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, to be honest, I have to admit that the beginning was actually promising. I mean, sure, Miles Teller was basically playing his usual smartass guy but he was just really fun and, above all, this trio of friends was quite charismatic and surprisingly well developed. On top of that, the prospect of watching them going through a wild night of binge drinking sounded pretty neat. Unfortunately, just way too early in the movie, Jeff Chang got way too drunk and the rest of the movie was about his buddies struggling to get him home in one piece. Seriously, the whole idea was hardly entertaining, I’m afraid, and I don’t really understand why the makers ruined a perfect opportunity to see some charismatic characters doing some wild sh*t while being under the influence of alcohol and/or other illegal substances. It’s exactly for the same reason why I never really understood the appeal of ‘The Hangover’. Basically, with this massively popular R rated comedy, we were in fact deprived of one seriously wild night in Sin City. At least, in this case, you still get to see the 2 remaining characters having some fun and the Tower of Power in particular was actually pretty neat. Anyway, to conclude, in spite of a rather misguided approach, I actually had a weak spot for these guys and I think the damned thing is actually worth a look, at least, if you really like the genre.
