Thoughts
Ordinarily, I wouldn't have watched this, I don't think. It's one of those films that is just a bit too stupid, a bit too crude, not really that funny. But I love all four of the main cast members, and it's hard not to watch a Zac Efron movie, it just is.
So I gave it a go and it was pretty much what I thought it was. There were some funny moments along the way, and some of the bizarre stuff ended up working (clothes horse!) but for the most part, it just wasn't that great. Entertaining enough for ninety minutes, but I certainly wouldn't recommend it or seek it out again. Boo.
