Really liked the movie but did they have to go there with that love interest angle? Jeesh
Spoiler:
she's a teenager/senior in high school. Felt creepy to me.
Watched that, and it felt a little creepy, until I thought she looked older than Jonah Hill, and was thinking maybe she was a undercover journalist heh, which was going to be revealed at the end. Buuuut it wasn't heh

Well the first thing she said to him when they met was she was 18, so I didnt feel as bed, and since his character I think is 22-24 not as bad, but kinda eww

The best thing about high school girls is I get older and they stay the same age.

Michael Bacall, who wrote this flick, was at the Just For Laughs comedy festival in Montreal to accept an award for "Comedy Screenwriter of the Year". When he accepted the award, he said "I really hope I can write another great script that Jonah Hill can take ALL the credit for". It was hilarious.

Rented this tonight and I guess I'm roughly the 100th person who was pleasantly surprised by this. I had low expectations going in but the movie was hilarious.

I didn't catch Depp until the reveal which was cool. As soon as he was shot I figured that was Depp mandated. It just screamed "I'll do the cameo but you will kill me off" flexing his hollywood muscle.

Years ago I dated a high school senior when I was about 23. It was a little weird, at least in regards to hanging with her friends and going to prom. The age gap doesn't seem like a big one on paper, but it really was. I thought it was a little creepy in the movie. However he never did make a move on her which makes it seem a little less creepy.

I'm going to be the lone dissenter, it had some funny bits, but overall it just didn't work for me. I thought Tatum and Hill were just adequate. I wasn't expecting much but it was still a disappointment, based on the reviews and favorable word here.

2.5/5.

I've seen this again a few times and it's just as entertaining as the first time around.
