About
If you want a simple, raunchy-ish college comedy with misfits vs snobs energy, this can be an easy watch; Not for you if you need originality, big laughs, or dislike broad stereotypes like in Boat Trip.
Pros: easygoing, low-stakes fun; a few decent gags; likable underdog lead | Cons: very predictable story; crude, hit-or-miss humor; feels like a retread
