2.5/5
The way the film hews to tiresome conventions is itself a buzzkill, but worse is its sheer lack of energy[.] Go to Full Review
Neil Genzlinger New York Times Feb 12, 2014
There's nothing sophisticated or groundbreaking here, but the movie is a moderately good entry in the bro-grows-up genre. Go to Full Review

Harry S Jun 24, 2018 Strengths: The cast is pretty filled with some folks who well versed in the world of comedy. Tyler Labine (Barry Burke) is the titular character and was seemingly born to play this kind of role. He feels totally natural in even the most over the top scenes. Damon Wayans Jr. (Desmond) is a highlight and probably the funniest actor of the bunch. Hayes MacArthur (Rafe) and Thomas Middletitch (Kurt) both do well with characters that are given arcs where they grow as people. The cast have great chemistry together and it really is what makes the movie work the most. Weaknesses: Lucy Punch (Melanie Miller) plays the girl that Barry eventually falls for. She's a bit too similar to Barry. It was like having two of the same character on screen and that isn't ideal. It became too much of the same thing, over and over. They crammed a lot of crude humor into this. Crude humor is fine in doses, but when it's the entire movie, it suffers and you get diminishing returns. While the supporting cast get arcs, they don't feel like they're intertwined that well into the main plot, so they aren't given much attention and they suffer because of it. Overall: If you like inappropriate comedy, this is probably something you'll enjoy. I found it to be amusing and I don't regret watching it. However, it is nowhere near the best movies of its kind. The cast worked well together, but there are too many familiar tropes relied on throughout.[** 1/2] See more
Kylo R Apr 3, 2017 If you're thing is uncomfortable comedy, this is a 4-star watch. Me? Not so much.
Finn R Feb 6, 2017 Not the worse piece of trash I've ever seen.
