Michael’s Movie Grade: F
A painful to sit through teen comedy.
This film has a premise that sounds perfect for a teen comedy, two teenage boys are constantly getting in trouble with schemes to make money buy a snack shack at a pool with the intentions of making tons of money. However this premise is completely wasted. The main problem with this movie is that despite being a comedy I did not laugh once during the whole film (and neither did anyone in the theater with me). Most of the humor revolves around the main characters being obnoxious foul mouthed jerks. None of this is funny for even a second. In fact rather than funny this comes off as simply annoying. While these types of characters can be funny if done right, them simply being obnoxious and foul mouthed is not funny in and of itself. As bad as this is when the movie is trying to be funny, it is even worse when the film asks you to take it seriously. Towards the last act this movie drifts into being more serious, despite it just being a silly comedy beforehand. Not only does this shift from comedy to drama feel forced but it is impossible to care about the drama when we truly hate these characters.
I came into this not expecting much but I was still disappointed in every level by this train wreck of a movie. Avoid at all costs.
