Drink, drank, drunk

“It’s only one beer,” but coming from the authors of The Hangover it’s obvious what’s to come. The night before an important medical school interview, Jeff Chang’s two best friends take him out to celebrate his 21st birthday and what follows is a sequence of cringe-worthy and predictable events. The plot twists are more annoying than surprising; towards the end it seems like a pile of complications were added just to fill the film’s 90-minute run time. 

21 & Over | Directed by Jon Lucas, Scott Moore (USA 2013) with Miles Teller, Justin Chon, Skylar Astin. Starts July 25.
