The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

What were they thinking? Aa the AVGN would say... this is what came to my mind after i watch that movie. When you buy a movie call "Wasted" that star Eddie Thomas in it(American Pie) you would expect a movie about booze and weed, teen getting ... WASTED right? Well this movie does have that part, but unlike any teen comedy in that area... it forgot one important point... THIS IS A MOVIE... we want something to get out of our lives...Here the characters are presented as the typical stereotype sex comedy teens...the nerd that can't get laid... the jerk, the player... and the outcast of the gang that would do anything to get in...Thing is... when the movie end(spoiler), they all resume there stereotype unlike the usual movie of that style. The jerk end up in jail, the nerd still dosen't get laid but return to his former best friend(a girl) that didn't wanted him as a boyfriend, the player just go back to his wife(from what i saw... we never really see her) and the other dude just live is life...I mean everything in that movie is pretty much 5 days in the life of any stereotype American...When i watch a movie like this, i hope the player will get dumped because he is an asshole that just do random girls, the jerk usually realize he IS a jerk and do something that please a random girl, and the nerd always seduce the hot chick and finish in her bed....Im sorry if i want stereotype to remain stereotype, but i watch these college movies because i love imagining i am in there feet... instead in this movie you realize if your pathetic you will remain pathetic... DAMN...Anyway i guess this movie was not aimed at me...but well with a title like that and finch in it... you would think so... Another movie in the same line i saw lately that delivered was "Take me Home tonight" and i preferred this one.

This movie is derivative in that we've seen this crowd of kids and type of movie before ala "Big Chill", "American Graffiti" and even a little "Donny Darko" and "River's Edge" too. Here are some high school buddies from a middle class suburban California town who went to the same lame middle class suburban Catholic jock high school, the home of the "Crusaders" the team the destructive jock of the trio played on. One of their mates dies in some silly drunken swimming accident and they all re-unite to relive their aimless cruising, partying and soft core punkish ways for a long weekend.i won't bore you with another synopsis but what I liked about it was that there was no real big arc. It avoided melodrama like extreme violence or major drug overdose, but we watched the jock who is now a stoner drunk provoke a fist fight over nothing. The sensitive one gets dumped but he meets up again with the school beauty, natch named Kelly, and they seem to be going somewhere. The golden boy college lady's man hooks up with a senior in the aforementioned high school for cheap car sex while she snorts coke and tells him how she had a crush on him when she was a freshman. They all have some darker issues that we get introduced too but they are handled in a low key way. Of course, the audience will relate to the suburban cruising, wasting and meeting the girls stuff, but that is not the focus of it either. There is some FM AOR DJ who provides the mood over the weekend too, but not like the Wolfman. There is a quiet desperation about it that gets expressed appropriately since none of these guys are suffering too much nor act like it, but they are unhappy for various reasons.The best part is that there is no magic or tragic ending to it, come Monday when they all go their separate ways, their lives haven't magically or tragically changed but they did have some fun and get some insight into their conditions a bit more. It aimed about chest level and that is where it stuck. Nothing really special but a good solid movie about aimless grads re-uniting.

I saw this movie at the Waterfront Film Festival, and I loved it! The story is set in 1995, with an incredible soundtrack from all the "alternative rock" bands of that year, and the characters are well-developed and believable. The story centers around three friends who are brought together to attend the funeral of a friend from high school. Kip Pardue and Eddie Kaye Thomas are both very good, but the surprise performance for me was given by Josh Cooke. He gives an amazing performance as a self-destructive rebel in this film, and I hope to see more of his performances in the future. See this movie as soon as possible.

I just got back from the first official screening of the movie. Wow, it is really great! I mean, the characters are so real. I went with my friend who actually worked on the film and is friends with the director and producer. The director in fact went to my college (for 2 years then he dropped out). But yeah, I really can relate to this film so much. It's not some lame teen movie with a predictable storyline and cheep humor, it's a real life look at a few guy's lives. The director said actually that a lot of the things did happen to him and his friends, and that carries through. Anyways, once this movie comes out, (hopefully it will play in many places) everyone should go see it. If you are a college or just out of college student, see this film.
