Miles Teller and Justin Chon star in this comedy written and directed by Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, screenwriters of The Hangover. The night before the medical school interview that will determine his entire future, a promising college student is dragged out by his two oldest friends to celebrate his 21st birthday. But as one beer leads inevitably to another, the evening spirals into a grand misadventure of mayhem and debauchery that will have far-reaching effects for the whole trio. (Entertainment One)

The film is vulgar, it has a crude sense of humor and it is cliché. "Na šrot" is exactly what it's called. One guy gets so drunk that he is capable of eating a tampon, while the others try to save him, even though it seems that at least one of them only got into university by sheer luck, or maybe he just knew where to invest. Or rather, his parents had an idea about it. I haven't seen such stupid heroes in a long time. I feel like the screenwriters must have also been on the scrap heap, not knowing what to do, so they got drunk to write better. In the morning, they probably looked at what they had written, but unfortunately, they didn't have enough common sense to pack it up, throw it away, and start a career as vegetable sellers. And these are the creators behind "Pařby"! I'm starting to wonder what awaits us in "Pařba na třetí". More: http://www.filmovy-denik.cz/2013/05/na-srot-2013-15.html

I don't understand the hate here, because 21 & Over is a surprisingly cool teen party drunk comedy that is certainly not very revelatory or innovative, but it fulfills its purpose without any problem. The main cast is fine, they're familiar and likeable faces. The plot is unexpectedly believable and too far out, but at the same time quite entertaining and funny. It's the one-liners, the humour, the profanity and the basic screenwriting bones and the result is one of the better sub-genre comedies I've had the chance to see. An enjoyable flick.
