Decided to name this review after another party movie that was much better than this one. This film is one of the worst movies I've seen in many years. This may have been inspired by true events, but I'm sure those true events didn't happen like this. First of all, the acting was bad, just horrible. The script was really bad writing. And some things were just ridiculous.

Unlikable characters...I wanted Nicky to die so badly. So it takes about 80 minutes by boat to get from New London, CT to Block Island. The 4 main characters get to New London just in time to miss the last ferry. It appears to be mid afternoon at this point. They go into a bar for what seems to be about 20 minutes tops and Bobby tells them that the fishing boat they're paying for a ride on will leave in 30 minutes.

The bar scene with the so called "hookers" was absolutely ridiculous and pointless. Added nothing to the story at all.

So now it's still mid to late afternoon and they get on the fishing boat. Trouble starts when Ashley asks to go to the bathroom to pee. She literally just used the bathroom 20 minutes ago in the bar. Things go south from there and next thing you know it's night. This is supposed to be an 80 minute boat ride!! In the summer, they would be there before sun down.

Later in the movie Jake is left to drown in the Long Island Sound as the boat leaves him but he miraculously shows up after treading water for HOURS and has the energy to start a fire and stab someone with a harpoon. Cmon already....utter ridiculousness.

And at the end one of the friends goes on a rescue mission wearing a plastic Viking hat and keeps it on through a shoot out! Who wrote this crap?!
