This whole movie is a public service announcement from MADD and other teetotalers. Lousy acting, no story line. Nobody could drink the absurd amounts of alcohol (10 to 20 to 30 shots or more, night after night) that these 30-old "college students" drink. Somebody should tell Lifetime Movie Network that Prohibition was repealed 100 years ago. Stop with the propaganda already!

Jessie Brenner (Sara Paxton) is a shy track athlete and the first college student in her family. Her loving mother (Nancy Travis) is a single widow. Shanna (Chelsea Hobbs) is her new roommate. She joins Shanna's party life gaining confidence with alcohol. She is befriended by straight-arrow musician Colin. Shanna introduces her to hunky Keith who she loses her virginity to on the first date. It turns out that he has other girls. Her academics and track suffer. She's avoiding her mother until she visits. Shanna convinces her to party in San Diego where she joins a wet T-shirt contest. Her flashing gets on the internet and even her little sister Sadie is affected.These kinds of movies used to be called afterschool specials. The writing is very broad and somewhat bland. The narration is bad. Everything is done without subtlety. Nevertheless, the movie is exactly what it was always suppose to be. Sara Paxton is a charming enough lead. It could be a lot worst.

Bad directing, bad writing, bad acting, bad characters, bad music. Honestly, the stupidity never stops in this pathetic excuse for a movie until the credits stop rolling. It is exactly what a 120 minute commercial against abusive college drinking would be like, made by people who have no experience in the subject at all other than their own paranoia. This is truly a hideous piece of work. I realize that there are many real problems that revolve around young people abusing many different kinds of substances. I went to college, I've lived in a college housing area, I've seen the real thing over and over again. However this film really has nothing enlightening to share about the problems of youth substance abuse. It really has nothing genuine to offer to the viewer at all. The most you will get out of it is a few laughs because of its sheer ridiculousness. Well perhaps if you are a fairly naive person, with little experience around this real problem, you may then buy into the stupidity of this movie and develop prejudices and paranoia about the reality of its subject. God help you! Definitely there are some things that happen in this film that do happen in reality, however they are just not done in a way that is authentic to real human beings. The characters are all stereotypical cartoons with no depth. Therefore the films situations have nothing thoughtful to offer to this issue, and that is the biggest reason why this movie stinks so badly. If you want to watch a quality film about young people with substance abuse issues, that is actually somewhere close to the authentic thing. Then watch 'Prozac Nation' or even 'Sid & Nancy', or something like that. Avoid this movie at all costs, unless you just want to laugh at something really fake and stupid. This film reminds me a good bit of the infamous old trash film, 'Tell Your Children (Reefer Madness)' because of its lack of real knowledge of the issue it presents, and also because it is driven 100% by paranoia. 'Tell Your Children' may just be the worst film ever made. Let me just say that this stinker really isn't much better. The same thing that could be said about, 'Tell Your Children', could also be said about this movie, and that is..."It is not so much a movie, but rather a preacher, preaching about that which they do not know.".1.5/10

A good movie. Thats plain and simple. The comment I read about this not being realistic is silly. Obviously its a MOVIE so its painting it slightly dramatized. But, as a young woman in her early 20s myself, I have friends in college who have gone through a lot of the same things. Unfortunately, the money can come from mommy and daddy or from a side job. Its not hard to find a small part time job in a college town. I live near one and its always packed with the students working the restaurants and visiting friends. Getting alcohol is not difficult for a college student at all. I think this movie is a serious wake up call to any college freshman who says "that could never be me." Sadly, it could and its completely possible. I wont let the cat out of the bag in this but there are serious issues that can arise from drinking too much. A great idea and fabulous story line.
