Seeing this at the Unlimited screening on Thursday, looks pretty good and I think both leads have been great in comedic roles so far. Think this'll be quite a big hit too!

Saw this yesterday and it's...out there. It pushes it to be as shocking as possible, the same way American Pie did those years ago. I was shocked that Bob went for some of the humour, in fact. But saying that, it is rather funny, minus some annoying gay stereotypes. Zac's body and Aubry Plaza are the obvious highlights.

It looks like it'll be terrible from the trailer alone. I'd only be there for Zac.

Haha, this was really quite raunchy but had me laughing all the way through, up there with some of my favourite comedies in ages.
Some great leads and equally good supporting characters too, loved the policemen especially! Aubrey Plaza wasn't really on my radar before this but she was hilarious, the pants slipping off bit was so well delivered laugh.gif

Think my favourite one liner was 'Jenny from the Cockblock' laugh.gif

So much Efron bottom too wub.gif

This looks absolutely painful, even naked Zac Efron couldn't get me through this.

I'm going to try and convince my friends to see this next week as nobody has any interest in The 5th Wave apart from me sad.gif

Let's just say, I never enjoyed the macarena until now.

This was hilarious and I agree with Josh, I think it'll end up being one of my favourite comedies of the year. They really pushed the boundaries with some of the humour and I loved it. Had tears in my eyes during the beach scene (the one where he's on facetime). I love a great ending too and Aubrey was queen as always. The policeman were great, Pam was great and shoutout to Adam Pally from The Mindy Project who played Nick the cousin, also great.

Ah all the singing scenes were some of my favourites too, Julianne Hough proper went for it and it was hilarious with all the rude pics behind it. Even Zac shushing his girlfriend during their karaoke was great laugh.gif

Oh my gosh at critics coming for this the way they have.

I thought it was a bit of fun and get quite a few 3/5 reviews. But it's being panned worse than I've seen films panned in ages.

Saw this tonight, dragged to it by drunk friends laugh.gif I think I'd have enjoyed it less if I hadn't had lots of wine myself, it was hideously unfunny in parts and I think unnecassarily vile at times. The humour was lazy too, I agree with the stereotypes and the way it tried to push the boundaries too far. It was amusing enough in parts to be ok overall though, it's definitely not quite as bad as the critical lashing suggests!
