Plot

[edit | edit source]

Three best friends from Pennsylvania State University, Mike (Nicholas D'Agosto), Bump (Josh Gad), and Scottie (Bret Harrison), make their way to the annual Mardi Gras festival in New Orleans for "boobs, beads and brews." They are accompanied by Mike's clingy girlfriend, Erica (Danneel Harris).

Mike is disappointed to learn that Erica lied about grieving over the death of her grandfather so he would bring her along and then shocked when she connects with her friend Lucy (Arielle Kebbel) and flashes her breasts to the crowd. Meanwhile, it is revealed that Scottie actually reserved a restaurant table instead of a hotel room, forcing them all to spend the night on the street.

Ultimately, Mike decides it's time to leave his girlfriend and party with his friends.

Reception

[edit | edit source]

On Shockya, Brent Simon rated it "D-"[6] writing that "there is some piecemeal — though very minuscule, it must be stressed – charm to some of Gad's energetic rants (...) [but] Josh Heald's script is a recycled bunch of road trip cliches, and never very funny ones at that."[7]
