QUICK TAKE:
Comedy: In 1988, four young twenty-somethings muddle through a night of intense partying while unsure of where they are headed in life.
PLOT:
On one night in 1988, four young twenty-somethings will party hearty unsure of what the rest of their lives will bring when they wake up - if they wake up - the next morning. Matt Franklin (TOPHER GRACE) has graduated from M.I.T. with an engineering degree. But he has found that he hates engineering. So he has returned to his California parents' home and now works at a video store. His twin sister, Wendy (ANNA FARIS), has decided to buy a condo with her vapid boyfriend, Kyle (CHRIS PRATT), but she has also applied to the Creative Writing Master's program at Cambridge. The mail has just come, and there is either a rejection or an acceptance letter.

Matt, meanwhile, has a chance meeting at the mall with his dream girl from high school, Tori Frederking (TERESA PALMER), who has also recently graduated college with a finance degree. To impress her, Matt lies that he is employed at Goldman Sachs. He gets his slacker friend, Barry (DAN FOGLER), to come along with him to a party Tori will be at. Barry, recently fired from his car salesman job, decides to go to the bash in style and steals a Mercedes convertible from his former employer's lot.

What follows is an evening of partying, drinking, recreational cocaine use, cops, '80s music dance-offs, and (of course) intense decision making.

WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT?
Older teens will be drawn to the film with its young cast and naughty, R-rated thrills. Younger teens may hear of the debauchery on display throughout and may want to see it.
WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: R
For language, sexual content, and drug use.
