Rating: 4/5; Really fun and entertaining. Re-watchable.Release Date: Friday, March 4, 2011 (yes, tomorrow)
Thoughts:
This movie is for the guys (at times has very, very crude jokes) and for the gals (how can you say "no" to a love story?). It's very enjoyable and funny. You cannot help but like the two best buds and the twin sister who sadly all have problems. The best friend (Barry/Dan Fogler) starts off having a crap day because he gets fired and feels like a loser because he didn't even go to college. The sister (Wendy/Anna Faris) wants to start a Master's program in England, but is not sure what to tell her boyfriend (Kyle/Chris Pratt who is her husband in real life btw. He looks so different than in Parks and Recreation). The protagonist, who did graduate from college, is feeling down in the dumps (Matthew/Topher Grace who I adore) because he has no idea what the frack to do with his life. Basically, these guys could use a night of crazy fun. Matthew sees his high school crush and he must get her number (hahaha).
Real good fun. Watch it. If you (like me) have no idea what you want to do with your life, this is a movie you will relate to (in some ways anyway) and have fun watching. It's not the greatest movie, but like I said, fun.

Resembles:
The Hangover - The "guys just having fun" bit is similar. (Can't wait for The Hangover 2!!)
The Green Hornet (2011) - Ditto. Plus, the two-white-guys-rapping scene is also similar.
Hope you enjoy,

You know, I keep hearing pretty good things about this one, but I don't think I'm going to see it in theaters and just wait until its on netflix or red box. Good review, though, and I'm glad you liked it. :)
I wanted to see this one, but it was yanked from all the local theaters before I had the chance. I'll be sure to catch it when it comes out On Demand, though. Because I too adore Topher Grace (what is it about geeks?) and 1980s music.
