Rick's life has gotten complicated. I couldn't even begin to explain what has happened. The list of events just came at me too fast to keep up.
Almost no one in this movie has morals. But Rick is basically a good kid and Nina has no reason to reject him. I'm not familiar with Nat Wolff but he has an appeal similar to the teenage Scott Baio and Ben Feldman of "Superstore". Occasionally he talks to the camera. He's actually quite good but not the standout.
Selena Gomez is really cute and does a capable job as Nina.
Mary-Louise Parker has to be the standout, but not for the reasons I thought. As I look at the credits I realize there is one character I thought was someone else. But first, Parker does a great job as constantly drunk Lucy, and then she makes appearances as Saint Lola, a fantasy character only Rick can see. But there were actually two saints, so I can't say for sure who did what.
Heather Graham as Annette, whose skirts are entirely too short and who shows off too much cleavage, is not believable as a lawyer, so I assumed she was one of Kristen's stripper friends. Later, it's clear she is really who she says. Still, a good performance.
I've liked Elisabeth Shue since she was a teenage baby sitter. Here, she is definitely all grown up. She's good enough as the promiscuous Pamela but also appears as one of the saints only Rick can see. I'm assuming that she's the one who was not only gorgeous but also quite naughty. But I thought there was just one.
Gary Busey looked familiar, but I didn't know his name until the credits. Busey is the only actor with a blooper reel during those credits, and I suppose it's worth seeing). He seems quite old for a uniformed officer but he's still quite tough.
We also hear occasional announcements from and get a couple of scenes with the uptight Principal Poole, portrayed as only Patrick Warburton can nearly every time we see this man on screen in whatever movie or TV series.
Even though there is so much bizarre comedy, there is a tender and sad moment. Since the imdb credits show photos, I can conclude that the fine performance in this scene comes from Carlease Burke, who has a Caribbean accent of some kind.
Have I made it clear this movie is not family-friendly? I hope so. I can't even begin to imagine what was bleeped out, and what made it to TV is pretty bad too. One man is washing dishes and these include something which is blurred. However, I suspect things may not be as bad as they seem because a nun who took a vow of silence was given special permission to speak so she could teach Latin. This was necessary so she wouldn't go to (bleep). You can't say that? No wonder so many words are missing. But from what I could tell this movie was hilarious.
If you can get through it, I think you'll be rewarded.
