This collegiate farce directed by Theo Avgerinos had its world premiere at the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival. After a party thrown by his roommate, Coleman (John Hensley), violates their dorm-room probation, college freshman (at a thinly veiled New York University) Darren (Lou Taylor Pucci) loses his scholarship money and scrambles to raise the funds by selling 50 ecstasy pills given to him as an apology by Coleman over the course of a hectic day. While loading the pills off on fellow college students, friends, family, and Coleman's customers -- including a dominatrix named Petunia (Monica Keena) and an insanely off-kilter stock trader (Eddie Kaye Thomas) -- Darren must also finish a paper on Dante's Inferno, deal with his parents (Jane Lynch and John Kapelos) in New Jersey, who think he's gay, elude the mysterious Soul Man (Ron Yuan), and try to convince his crush, Grace (Kristen Bell), that he's not a sleazy drug dealer. Darren's crazy day comes to a head when some stupid but vengeful thugs led by Eduardo (Michael Pena) track down both Coleman and Darren at their dorm while the stock trader shows up looking for more pills. ~ Michael Buening, Rovi

    I rented this movied because the title looked catchy. I am a junior in college and so I could relate to the subject at hand. This movie will have you laughing out loud. It is so funny. in the beginning I did not like the narration style direction. But as the movie wore on, it became less noticable. The characters the lead actor runs into are hillarious. Especially Petunia, she is funny. But the whole side plot with the "latino gangster" I really did not follow. But the issues him and his girlfriend Gracie go through is cute. It's almost as if she is oblivious to all the drug peddling he is doing. And the fact that his parents thinks he is gay is hillarious. Overall, I would say rent this movie if you are between the ages of 16 and 25. Other wise it might appear immature.

    You will get what you expect with this film. A rare chuckle here and there; there were more rolling of the eyes though. Major qualm: With Pucci's haircut he looked like a girl and had a hard time figuring out what a beautiful girl like Kristen Bell saw in this doofus.
