Accepted
So I wrote a review (even posted it for a couple hours), then decided that it was very poorly done. Unfortunately I'm uninspired at the moment, and don't feel like really redoing it, so let's just cut it down and make it short, sweet, and simple with bullet points of the highlights...
- Jack Garner is an idiot, movies like this are supposed to be unrealistic (and Ferris Bueller's Day Off is also unrealistic; stupid Jack)
- There's the typical dork, the typical stoner, the typical overachiever, the typical jock, and they all work together (ha! yeah...)
- The cast is respectable, and pretty new, for a change.
- The lead is acceptable, and while he can't carry the movie alone, he brings it along well enough.
- The "message" is sort of lost along the way, but who cares anyway? You don't go to these movies for a moral or lesson. You go to laugh.
- Lewis Black is...well Lewis Black. It wasn't much of a stretch for him, but it's still funny.
- It's no Harold and Kumar, but it's still good.
So in conclusion, if you're willing to just let go for 90 mins and laugh then this is a good choice for you. If you're looking for something new, unique, or special, keep looking (might I suggest Little Miss Sunshine yet again?).
