Plot Outline:
After facing the fact that both Seth (Jonah Hill) and Evan (Michael Cera) will both be going to different colleges next year, it seems more imporant than ever that they go to a high school party, and achieve some of their long time goals; including, but not limited to, losing thier virginity with the girl of their dreams by getting them wasted and being their “regret hookup.”
Their awkard friend Fogell (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) gets a fake ID, with the name McLovin and agrees to get liquor to bring to the girl’s graduation party. All seems to be going well until McLovin is suckerpunched in the liquor store by a robber. When the police come they question McLovin and offer to give a ride home making a few stops along the way.
Overall Impressions:
Note how the principal characters and the writers have the same name. Coincidence?? I think not. These guys have lived what you see on-screen, there’s no two way about it. I mean I’m sure its been dramatised and restructured but this stuff is just too random yet funny to be made up.
I think it’s very much a guy film. Not saying the ladies won’t appreciate it, just feel they may not fully understand some of the guy-to-guy love perhaps. The strange thing about this film is that though it’s totally drenched in innuendos and the likes, it still has a pretty mature resolution.
Well-written, totally appropriate star-cast, with plenty of jokes that are inappropriate for the innocent crowd, if such a thing still exists out there. I totally recommend it. A DVD must-buy. That’s two hilarious films worth seeing one after the other, can the spree last?
