Perfect cast and a good story
Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Seriously,i decided to watch a movie to get some laughs and chill and i bumped into this.After reading some reviews i decided to give it a go with the expectation this movie to be at least as half as good the reviews demonstrated.However to my bad luck i realised i just wasted 93 minutes of my life that i,unfortunately,cannot take back ever again.The movie is totally unrealistic.There isn't any character development,the ending is predictable and i am sure that this movie will remind you of many others.Logic isn't here.Neither is humor.I really recommend this movie to anyone who wants to give end to his miserable life and doesn't know why.
A very good, refreshing and lighthearted comedy that has a good point.The movie is not realistic at all. There is no way in this world that somebody who didn't get accept anywhere would bother with creating a new school, there are other options after all such as community colleges and trade school, plus it would never work. But the thing is that movies don't have to be realistic. As long as they are fun and bring a message and this movie does it.It is not the usual college comedy. It isn't all about sex and profanity (not that I am against such kind of a comedy but it is always fun to see something different). It has a very positive and clever humor.The cast is great as well. I liked Justin Long, Jonah Hill and it was great to see Leis Black. Although since this movie is not R rated he couldn't be at his best. Actors who are not as well known as these three were also a good collection. Jeremy Howard especially stood out.And I liked the message of the movie. It criticizes the obsession with traditional education. Which is not the best for everybody and often takes away from people the ability of self discovery. It is also very bureaucratic and doesn't always make sense. Like when Monica (Black Liveley) who majors in photography says that she can't take classes that are not part of her major (even though they are about photography as well). This fake college offers that self discovery to students ho are very much outcasts of the society (there is a guy with ADD, a stripper a creepy guy etc). I think the only problem with the movie was that they really dumbed down the college program. Instead having classes like "daydreaming" which is a total nonsense they could have been more creative. They still could have things like skating or rock'n roll and no traditional math/chemistry etc classes, but they could have more useful creative ideas. Something like "exploring the nature around you", "inventing of new recipes" etc. etc.
College. Parties. Primitive humor.You have seen it already, in a lot of movies, but there is nothing wrong with that.The movie has an unique twist to it. And it is frankly quite entertaining in its own way.I love the whole idea behind it, because I'm sure a lot of people get in the same situation when it comes to college. Some go, some don't, but this movie gives a cool "fantasy" aspect that can be only done in movies.Watch it if you want to chill around, and have a few laughs.
First of all i really didn't expect to see anything more than a cheap comedy but i did . the cinematography and directing and editing wasn't the best but it wasn't bad either. directing was quite ordinary as for the cinematography. the thing that made this movie better than expected was the screenplay. not that it was perfect or anything, the characters were quite one- dimensional(witch for some characters like Bartleby's father was necessary)and the jokes and dialogs were a bit tasteless but what i liked about the screenplay was that it had a point and it had something to say . something that i happen to agree with . i had a good time watching this film . there wasn't any overrated romanticism in it witch i really appreciated . of course there was some goofs and and replaceable scenes and some holes to the story but i don't wanna get into the details ...
