This movie had some potential on paper, but thanks to a combination of bad writing and acting it fell flat on its face within the first 30 minutes. From there on, it did nothing to save itself.
It's full of scenes from something that reads like a 2000s comedy (think American Pie), but they've tried to modernize it, albeit in a half-assed way. Also, the main characters are ADULTS. I'm glad this got addressed at the end by the bar owner Dick, but the whole movie could've been over in the first 10 minutes if he had spoken up about the immaturity from all the characters concerning their dilemma.
A lot of the characters were just poorly written as well. Jas is the classic female badass that I couldn't stand working with. Dick is supposedly the manager but is too timid to actually be an effective boss. Autumn (Florida) speaks with a Texas accent for the second half of the movie, even though she was from Tampa.
The main characters might've been the worst though. Allen was the stereotypical soft-core boyfriend, but he was honestly an asshole. He kept apologizing for rude comments that he clearly intended to make. Nina didn't hold back either, but obviously knew more about why she didn't want to be with Allen, but they never discussed this until the end of the film. But BY FAR, the worst character was Chelsea, Nina's friend.
Chelsea had so many flaws that anyone with any taste of judgement would realize how bad of a person she is. Throughout the film, she references her family in a way that made me question why she's a mom in the first place; clearly, she hates it and only manages one good comment about her husband, but it's only her saying that she "sometimes loves him so much." She convinces Nina to lie about the result of the darts challenge, and then calls Allen sexist after he calls her out on it. She makes multiple comments about sexism, yet is sexist herself. After a guy wouldn't pay for Nina's drink, she immediate facial expression is one of disgust, and afterwards she knocks the guys hat off. All throughout the movie, and even in the ending scene, she clearly doesn't like her friend's ex of like 5 years. But literally no one is asking you for your opinion on it. If she was my girlfriend's best friend, I would've ran for the hills after a month.
This film can be enjoyable if you like a repetitive experience full of immature adults and crass humor. Would not recommend it though to anyone with any taste, but I should've known that if I watched the trailer.
