’21 and Over’ is ‘The Hangover’ for college students

The producers of “The Hangover” did an awesome job making “21 And Over.” All the comedy and raunchiness that this movie provides will keep you laughing throughout the entire film. If you liked “The Hangover” and its sequel, then you will definitely enjoy this comical movie about three college students celebrating their friend’s 21st birthday.

Justin Chon who plays Jeff Chang in the movie has a huge interview that will decide his future as a medical student. The only problem is he just turned 21. His two long-time best friends from high school, Miller (Miller Teller) and Casey (Skyler Astin) make a surprise visit to Jeff Chang’s apartment on campus to celebrate Jeff’s passage as a man. Miller and Casey are excited to see Jeff, but they run into Chang’s father. Ever since high school, Miller, Casey and Jeff have been terrified of Mr. Chang. He warns all three of them that if they go out and drink all night and Jeff isn’t ready by 7 a.m. for his interview, then he will personally deal with them.

Both Jeff and Casey want to oblige to Mr. Chang’s orders, but Miller doesn’t want to obey his orders. Miller is the party animal of their group. He wants to have fun and go party all night to celebrate Jeff’s 21st birthday. As Jeff and Casey ignore his attempts to persuade everyone to go out, Miller busts out with a blow horn and ultimately annoys Jeff and Casey to the point where they agree to go out for one beer.

Only it doesn’t end with just one beer. Jeff goes crazy and visits every bar nearby. He chugs shots, beer, beer from the tap, and all kinds of crazy blends at any bar he can get to with Miller and Casey. By the time Miller and Casey call it quits, Jeff Chang is long gone. At this point, Miller and Casey need to get Jeff back home to his apartment, but the only problem is, Miller left the address in his bag back at the apartment. So now they have no idea where Jeff Chang’s apartment is and Casey comes up with an idea. Inside one of the bars, they met one of Jeff’s friends, Nicole (Sarah Wright). All they have to do is find out which sorority she is from on campus and they are set.

That’s when the night gets super crazy. While Miller and Casey try to figure out where Jeff lives, Miller and Casey start to discover things about their friend that they never knew. In high school, Jeff was an ace student, and then they hear he was failing his college classes.

The craziness ensues as an odd assortment of events unfold that include falling out of a two story building and getting a teddy bear glued to certain body parts. Jeff Chang has so much to say in this movie. I highly recommend seeing this picture because there are twists and turns that will surprise you in every scene. And one more thing; don’t mess with a Latina Sorority.
