The Good: honestly, nothing.
The Bad: This movie was obviously made with loving reverence of Judd Apatow and Kevin Smith. Like many knock offs, it mostly misses what makes those films (at their best) so fun and enjoyable. This movie is mean spiritied, misogynistic, stupid and tiring. Patrick Rena and Tommy Ravas play the "obnoxious, pig headed friend" and "quiet, passive nice guy" respectively, and it's as dated as it sounds. Rena in particular plays one of the most thoroughly unlikable characters I have seen in a while.
The performances here - not helped by the awful script - are just...really bad. Annie Monroe is terribly miscast as this supposed "good quirky girl/sex goddess" character, who spends most of her time wincing and playing with her hair. She has no values, motivations or agency. None of the female characters here do. I don't throw the "misogyny" label around lightly, but here, it's entirely appropriate.
The Ugly: to boot, this movie looks absolutely terrible and cheap. It feels like a world of like 10 people and all the shots are flat and boring. There's a garish dubstep, "trip" scene - of course it completely misrepresents the experience of magic mushrooms - that prompted me to almost turn it off.
And despite being 94 mins or so, this movie honestly felt like an eternity. Don't waste your time.
