I watch the trailer for this movie about 12 times. Sure ill admit at least 3/4 of that was because it was playing as a youtube ads but since i was super eager to see it, i let it run often when it popped.
I love the raunchy comedies that were legions in the 2000s and first half of the 2010s. Then the woke movement happened and it killed pretty much the genre entirely as you must not offend anyone and can't do anything unapropriate these days.. Could this movie finally be a new modern take at this almost gone genre? Not really...even if it does take a few risks.
From the look of it, it had a bit of a "The Girl Next Door" vibe as that awkward nerd who hang out with a hot chick. But thats about as close as it get.
The funniest jokes or awkward situations were actually pretty much all shown in the trailers and the rest of the movie is more leaning on the romcom/drama side. Don't get me wrong, its still a good movie and a good story, but its nowhere as raunchy or funny as i taught it would be.
Some of the comedy involve Maddie (Jennifer Lawrence) being somewhat of a fish out of water in presence of university students but the movie kinda portray her like she was 45 or something. I mean its Jennifer Lawrence... she may not be 20 anymore, but she look hot as... and not "old" at all. It does make for a few midly funny jokes and the movie poke a bit of fun at the woke/cancel culture wich i enjoyed, but i think there was a lot more funny potential in that particular part of the movie.
Were my expectations too high or the movie simply do not realize its potential? I can't say. Its one of the rare case where i can say i enjoyed it, i am glad i saw it, but i would had change a lot of things in that script personally to make it much wilder.
