First Look: ’21 and Over’ will create a buzz
February 28, 2013 - 12:00 am
What: “21 and Over”
When: Opening Friday
Cast: Miles Teller, Justin Chon, Skylar Astin and Sarah Wright
Writers-directors: Jon Lucas and Scott Moore
The story: On the eve of his critical med school interview, responsible, straight-A student Jeff Chang (Chon) is surprised by a visit from his best friends (Teller, Astin), who want to help him turn 21 in style. He reluctantly agrees to one drink, which soon turns into many, many, many more.
The buzz: Lucas and Moore wrote “The Hangover.” Teller was in “Project X.” If only there were an “Animal House” connection, this could have been the greatest drinking movie of all time.
