First Look: ’21 and Over’ will create a buzz

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.
