21 & Over (2013) - Review


21 & Over - Starring Skyler Astin, Miles Teller, Justin Chon, Sarah Wright, Jonathan Keltz, Francois Chau. Written and Directed by Jon Lucas & Scott Moore. Rated R. Available on DVD.

21 & Over is written by the same guys who wrote The Hangover, and it shares many of the same elements. It features loads of drunken escapades and insane situations. It has a lead cast who have great chemistry with one another. And of course, a naked Asian male. 

But while it is very similar to The Hangover, there are some differences. This time, the activities happen at a college. The film also gets a tad more serious than The Hangover ever did. Amidst all the foul language and bad behavior, the main characters also face growing apart as friends as they grow older and they face the fear of being stuck in a career they don't want to be in. But if serious moments aren't for you, there's plenty of laughs to be had in this film.

It's not necessarily the funniest movie ever, or the most original. But there are enough laughs and the cast is likable enough to make this film worth watching.

Rating: 2.5 out of 5.
