    Not a bad comedy for a Netflix original

    Do not look at the 1 star reviews here on imdb, for a Netflix comedy it was actually pretty decent and had far more original funny scenes than i had anticipated, of course some of the scenes were cringy, but that is besides the point, it is supposed to be an over the top teen comedy.

    David Spade and Nat Faxon were great in this movie, usually not the biggest fan of these actors, can not understand why people give this movie horrible reviews/ratings. This film is just simple, dumb fun and nothing more, do not take it seriously, sit back, relax and enjoy the dumb Adam Sandler type of fun.

    Another bad comedy movie

    Yes, I had few laughs, but in the end this is just another shallow movie with so many wasted potential. I dont know for people of what age are this movies created? I can not see them as movies for adults, because they are too much shalow and empty, so maybe this movies are realy made for kids. They should advertise them as movies for kids than, just to help us adults skip them and save us some time.

    Ignore the bad reviews. I'm glad I did

    This is my first review. I felt I had to give this movie some love with all the hate it was getting. People are so harsh these days... I almost didn't watch the movie due to the low rating and bad reviews. My wife and I decided to give it a try anyway. We went into it with zero expectations and ended up laughing quite a bit. We were both surprised at how much we ended up liking the movie. It's full of stupid-funny humor. I wouldn't pay to see it, but it was great for popcorn on the couch at home.

    Not that bad

    I almost didn't watch thsi because of the bad reviews. I am glad I did. Yes the movie is stupid but that's what makes it funny. I had a really good time watching this. Would have been even better if I were stoned though.

    Not bad compared to recent comedies

    A 6/10 for a comedy is ok in my book. Still doesn't have replay value but I'm happy to watch a comedy in this era that doesn't involve the plot line of everyone getting hammered or partying. It fell short but not a garbage movie.
