Eh, it had it's moments. Though, the funny parts didn't balance the stupid parts out so well. Basically, the entire movie was parties and people getting drunk. Therefore, this movie deserves a 4/10.

It hasn't got many laughs as the trailer promises. Despite that, it's a good comedy with a really good concept (which reminded me a lot ''Hangover'') and a really good cast. It seems a little like a copy of The Hangover but it surely isn't so funny. You will enjoy it and I think if you like Old school, Superbad and Hangover you will like that movie. It's a comedy that will be similar to other comedies. **It is better than Project X** I rate it with 6,5/10… Expand

Luckily enough 21 & Over isn't much like fellow party comedy Project X which was released last March and felt more like burn off than valid comedy. 21 & Over is about when Jeff Chang (Justin Chon) turns 21 and his old friends Miller and Casey (Miles Teller and Skylar Astin) come to take him out for a night on the town. However the trio soon find out a lot has changed between them and it may take some unexpected events to bring everyone back together. Right off the bat 21 hobbles itself by limiting the screen time of its funniest character. Jeff Chang is hilarious and is sadly not in the film as long as the other two leads. That doesn't mean that Miller and Casey aren't interesting but they do take some time to grow on you, especially Miller whose quite caustic at the beginning and will either entertain people or infuriate them. The fact is that by the end they are 3 very well rounded characters (some might say stereotypes) who can annoy at times but liven up a film that is more coincidence than plot. Their misadventures are tamer than that of Project X so they feel a lot more real and therefore are funnier and more entertaining and the crazy stuff that happens doesn't feel like its from another planet. The film is populated by some odd characters but they never feel ridiculous, even the LSD taking college professor seems oddly believable in the world director Jon Lucas has created. All these side characters provide some good laughs although the required love interest section of the film has nothing to it, if feels wrong and honestly the film didn't need the distraction and it ultimately ruins the ending of one of these characters story because he is forced to do the Hollywood thing and chase after the girl. The film at first suffers from some scripting problems as the film is trying to sound youthful but it doesn't quite ring true but after a while you get used to it, its just not the most expertly written dialogue and it isn't nearly as edgy as they think it is. However it is an enjoyable film because it doesn't take itself too seriously and even the ending where some lesson must be learnt it isn't forced upon you so much that it ruins the fun you had watching the film in the first place.… Expand

Rather typicall teen/highschool/party comedy story wise. A good 93 mins of entertainment. If don't set your expectations too high it's good fun but nothing more.

Watching other people getting drunk and having a good time, usually doesn't work for me, and is the case here.

Too many "wild party" movies have hit the screen lately and the formula is getting more and more tired. Of course, Hollywood loves their formulas and here it seems simple raunchy behavior is all this movie could conjure up. Films that embark down the dark path of raunch must have wit and verve like the Hangover I and II, otherwise its just young people acting stupidly. If I wanted to see that I hang out with High Schoolers. Of course as there are very few options for movie at the moment, this is better than throwing your money away on the Oz disaster.… Expand

The writer's of "the hangover" Scott Moore and Jon Lucas their directorial debut is filled with unfunny one-liners, at times it can be clever and it has it's moments, were is the comedic gold and charm that screenwriters Moore and Lucas use to have? Since the guys who wrote the script of "the hangover" made this movie and their returning to the party laugh out loud genre we think this will be funny. There is no cleverness from the hangover that is not in this movie; sure Miles Teller and Skylar Astin are funny and trying but Moore and Lucas's script tries to create party movie cliche's and have little empathy characters and tries to be the next "Project X" (which was funnier than this!). So Miles Teller plays Miller, he is a lazy idiot who is good at having a good time, Skylar Astin plays Casey he is sophisticated and a nerd who does not like to party that much since highschool. They use to go to high school together with a friend named Jeff Chang played by Justin Chong (Twilight), he turns twenty one and they take him out to get wasted and everything goes wrong. The humor is cheap and is funny time to time, terrible acting and it's script is not good; I did enjoy the humor and it's fun. Grade B-… Expand

A forgettable comedy, mainly because it is nothing new, and not that funny. It is just another raunchy comedy that does not aspire to be much more than that.

Another movie attracting the American Pie era lovers... Which I am. Hangover comes to mind, and so does Superbad.

Hangover comes to mind, and so does Superbad. The audience who enjoys remembering 'that time' they got wasted with friends and make sassy/witty banter with their own groups of friends.

This movie is for cheap laughs and cliche stereotypes being used as entertainment, don't expect more than that.… Expand

For all its raunchiness, The Hangover was distinguished as much by its unexpectedly elegant plotting as its cast’s chemistry and its famous setpieces. It was like an out-of-control frathouse that happened to reside in the loveliest buildingFor all its raunchiness, The Hangover was distinguished as much by its unexpectedly elegant plotting as its cast’s chemistry and its famous setpieces. It was like an out-of-control frathouse that happened to reside in the loveliest building on campus. The Hangover’s myriad knock-offs retained its scatological enthusiasm while abandoning its underlying precision in favor of manic, random wackiness. That’s especially true of 21 & Over, though in its case, the rampant stealing from Todd Phillips’ surprise blockbuster is at least self-plagiarism, since it was written and directed by Hangover screenwriters Scott Moore and Jon Lucas.

Miles Teller stars in The Hangover: The College Years as a hard-partying smartass who arrives on campus on a mission to get best friend Justin Chon blackout drunk on his 21st birthday. He gets a grudging assist from Skylar Astin, a meek Jewish yuppie on the fast track to a lucrative but tedious finance career. Chon is terrified of disappointing his demanding father by possibly failing to make a good impression at his med-school interview the next morning, but the trio’s night of debauchery spirals out of control as they lumber through a punishing gauntlet of wackiness involving vengeance-crazed Latina sorority girls, a stray buffalo, and a stroll across campus clad only in cock-socks. The winning Chon commits to shameless physical comedy on an almost-scary level, at one point greedily chewing on a tampon for the sake of a bad-taste gag, but it isn’t an encouraging sign that Chon, 21 & Over’s most committed and engaging character, spends much of the film in various states of unconsciousness, in an unintentional homage to the Weekend At Bernie’s films.

21 & Over intermittently attempts to transcend its disreputable subgenre with nods to the central trio growing apart and intimations that Chon isn’t the upbeat achiever he originally appears to be. But this strange groping for maturity and substance feels out of place in a lowbrow would-be crowd-pleaser otherwise devoted to serving up its college sex-comedy clichés straight. In 21 & Over’s creepiest, most repellent scene, Teller and Astin pretend to be authority figures to coerce a pair of nubile co-eds into sexual activity. This tactic meets most definitions of a sex crime, but 21 & Over views it as good raunchy fun, though it’s eventually punished by what the filmmakers imagine is the ultimate humiliation its demographic can envision: heterosexual men forced to engage in homosexual acts. 21 & Over seems particularly redundant, since a film already exists that’s exactly like The Hangover, only not as good: It was called The Hangover Part II. 21 & Over is so slavish in imitating its screenwriters’ big claim to fame that it even ends by teasing a sequel, to which the only sane response is a polite but firm, “Thank you, no.”… Expand
