Dernier été à Staten Island

What I loved most about this movie is the fact that it has the feel of a teen comedy about the beach, but despite the fact that the Island has a beach, they used a pool.

It has a feel of a teen comedy, despite the fact that most of the supporting cast were around when the 80s films this movie pays homage to came out.

But the whole supporting cast was funny, being some of Saturday Night live's best new talent(Cecily Strong and Bobby Moynihan) and a few alums(Fred Armisen and Will Forte). Also being produced by the guy who created SNL, Staten Island Summer is like the big sketch they could not pull off on a sound stage.

It's the age old tale of two boys trying to spend their last summer together before college trying to get laid, but set in a place nobody would have thought to set any movie, and pulls nothing back on what the Island is all about (Even including a role for Wu Tang's Method Man, a native of Shaolin)

Absolutely funny.

Staten Island Summer is a very generic teen movie. It has a cheesy plot line, a very specific audience that will enjoy it, and some humor inserted into it that some find funny, while others hate it.

It is a movie that, like nearly every other teen movie, has a character battling through his late teens. Women, sex, and friendships are all a huge part of the movie.

Regardless of all previously mentioned, I still did not find Staten Island Summer to be a bad movie. It had its moments. There were a lot of foreseeable things that you might notice very early on in the movie, but you still have some things that you might not expect. There are a couple of genuinely funny scenes, although a couple of them own a rather blunt taste of humor that at least did not make me really laugh.

For fans of teen movies, Staten Island Summer is a good choice, although there are many better. It is best described as a rather lame and not as funny version of American Pie, but some might really enjoy the humor - and some might actually find the plot to be good.

Nothing to new here, but I did get a few good laughs out of it. There was no PC garbage and teens acted like teens act. Recommend it.

So maybe there is a little bit of the "Project X" idea in this movie and to be precise it's no where as strong as project x but it was kind enjoyable with a handful of funny jokes despite the predictability on the story itself. Even though the idea is not that genuine but The plot is fresh the events roll in a good scale and the writing looked good, i had a couple laughs, some giggles .. i mean you gotta give it all to Colin Jost , man !! such a young talent with so much experience with "Saturday Night Live" , he surely stepped it up a lot.

As for the cast ,, mostly SNL cast plus the really funny dude Zack Pearlman , Graham Phillips form "The Good Wife" and Jackson Nicoll the kid from Jackass .. LOOOL i love his face :D so the cast are really good ,, and i think they are the ones who made the movie a bit more enjoyable... and i have to mention that their performance here is in so many levels much better than their "Balls Out(Intramural )" movie which been released last month.

Overall, the movie does not have a new surprisingly unexpected idea but the cast did one hell of a great job with somehow good written script to make it look like this.

Another R rated comedy about teens that isn't over the top raunchy like American Pie and Super Bad. This film was more of a week in 2 friends lives that are moving on to college. Nothing stood out other then the solid cast. Pretty straight forward storytelling.
