Oh my god! I thought this was hilarious and creative. The story's about a straight-A student named Jeff Chang (Justin Chon) who just turned 21 and is nervous due to having an interview at 8 am his Dad (Francois Chau) arranged for him in order to be a doctor. Chang however doesn't want to be a doctor and was pressured into going into medical school. In order to take his mind off that his friends also 21, Casey and Miller (Miles Teller and Skylar Astin) convince him to celebrate his 21st birthday by bar hopping. Things start out fine until Chang gets wasted and unresponsive. Casey and Miller try to take him home but forget where he lives leading to several misadventures.

From getting caught up with a sorority to bumping into stoners who proceed to undress Chang save for a teddy bear and a bra it's needless to say they're in for a wild night. So yeah, this film's crazy and there're a lot of funny moments: From spanking sorority girls to throwing Chang off a trampoline to escape when their ruse is discovered, to finally being caught and endure the same stuff they did. I'm not sure what the critics were upset about as this movie definitely wasn't for them. It's pretty funny if you ask me. Sometimes it does get slow and boring but for the most part it's well written, has decent characters and several hilarious scenes. It's low-brow and that's why I like it. I'd say check it out. You'll be in for a wild ride that's for sure.
