With just 0% on Rotten Tomatoes and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Tailor-made for people who love a good growing-up story and people who like the journey more than the destination. It gets the awkwardness and the high stakes of being young. Fans of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World or Pitch Perfect should feel right at home. It's a road trip, so the detours matter as much as the destination.
- The mood
- Light and funny, romantic.
- The pace
- Quick and easy-going, at 1 hr 33 min.
- What might put you off
- Rated R: expect sex.
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
Nick is a successful young man whose comfortable West Coast life couldn't be better. However, when his girlfriend falls under the influence of lecherous music producer Lenny Swackhammer, Nick impulsively decides to travel to Toronto to intervene. Nick's buddies Tyler and Dime opt to turn the quest into a cross-country road trip that's complete with wacky antics and encounters with beautiful women.
