Advantages: Funny, actors, script, cameos

Disadvantages: Some may not like the humour or actors

Now as movie reviews never were my strong point I'm not gonna go blow my own trumpet and say this will be mind blowing, but the movie is. Fom the opening scenes at the uni to the cameo's by Dan Finnerty and his band (The Dan band, also in Todd Phillips movie of "Starsky and Hutch").

Those that know the actors and director know what to expect if you have watched (and enjoyed) Anchorman or Dodgeball this is right up your ally, even if your more of an american pie person this movie should be feeling like it's been made just for you. The same childish and silly humour. Though from Will Ferrel, Vince Vaughan and Luke Wilson what more would you be expecting?

What may not be up everyones street is these three, but with an easily to follow script, Leah Remini and Elisha Cuthbert and Snoop Dogg we have comedy eye candy and rap music as well as the three leading men.

The movie at hand focuses basically on the middle aged crisis of the three guys after Mitch (Wilson) finds his girlfriend being...well...a slut, Beany (Vaughan) wanting an out-going for some of his business money and Frank "the tank" (Ferrell) just being a big child in a mans body. The guys form a high school Fraternity which leads to the endeavours of the guys from kidnapping an old guy (Blue) and concluding with a serious of tests to prove they are good enough for the school to have them as a frat.

Overall a compelling if simple movie, with good actors and a decent script, some brilliant Cameos (Andy Dick, Snoop Dogg, The Dan Band) merely add to it's brilliance but yet simple humour.

Summary: Simple but funny
