I watched this movie because it had so many cast members from snl, a great comedy show, and was written by an snl member. It was not a very good movie, I only stuck around because I liked seeing the actors. I'm 14 so I'm a bit on the young side of the target audience, but I know I wouldn't have enjoyed it more if I were older. It's super cliché and even more predictable. But if you don't have anything to do, and you want to see snl actors Bobby Moynihan, Fred Armisten, Kate McKinnon, Cecily Strong, Mike O'Brien, and Colin Jost be silly together outside of late night television, then watch it. It's a good movie for when you're bored or need I waste time.
This is a coming of age story for the lifeguards at the Great Kills Swim Club on Staten Island. The crew try to find true love and sex during the last day of summer bash before Danny (Graham Phillips) goes off to Harvard. Krystal Manicucci (Ashley Greene) daughter of local mafia leader (Vincent Pastore) shows up with over-the-top swagger as she becomes the focus of Danny's attention, a woman who was his former babysitter.The lifeguards include a diverse cast of characters, that would generally be good enough for any teen sex comedy. The downfall of the film was that the actors couldn't pull it off. There were good scenes, but no great scenes. Guide: F-bomb. Brief sex and nudity.
It started out quite good. The first ten minutes in, I was very interested. But then it just got lazy...the writing was sloppy and careless. The acting wasn't very good. And the plot seemed like a worse version of Superbad. I'm 21 years old, and I'm basically the target audience for a movie like this. I've enjoyed almost every other summer comedy about partying, but this one was dragged out, corny, and just overall a bad movie. Give me my 2 hours back please...? I don't recommend it.PS- Jim Gaffigan was hilarious.PPS- The main character was not...at all.
So maybe there is a little bit of the "Project X" idea in this movie and to be precise it's no where as strong as project x but it was kind enjoyable with a handful of funny jokes despite the predictability on the story itself. Even though the idea is not that genuine but The plot is fresh the events roll in a good scale and the writing looked good, i had a couple laughs, some giggles .. i mean you gotta give it all to Colin Jost , man !! such a young talent with so much experience with "Saturday Night Live" , he surely stepped it up a lot.As for the cast ,, mostly SNL cast plus the really funny dude Zack Pearlman , Graham Phillips form "The Good Wife" and Jackson Nicoll the kid from Jackass .. LOOOL i love his face :D so the cast are really good ,, and i think they are the ones who made the movie a bit more enjoyable... and i have to mention that their performance here is in so many levels much better than their "Balls Out(Intramural )" movie which been released last month.Overall, the movie does not have a new surprisingly unexpected idea but the cast did one hell of a great job with somehow good written script to make it look like this.
