Kate
Upton and Alexandra Daddario are best friends whose flight to Florida gets
redirected due to a hurricane. On the
plane, they both become infatuated with a hunk (Matt Barr) sitting next to them.
The trio then decide to take a road trip
down to Florida and the two friends soon become bitter rivals as they compete for
his affections.
Director
William H. Macy (yes, THAT William H. Macy) tries to make a raunchy R rated
comedy with the gender roles reversed (which is an OK idea, I guess), but with
only marginal success. I’m a big fan of
all involved. Daddario and Upton are
charming as always and seem to be having fun playing Girls Behaving Badly. Sadly, they aren’t given much to work with. The script by It’s Always Sunny in
Philadelphia’s David Hornsby and Lance Krall feels like a leftover It’s Always
Sunny script. That might not have been
so bad if there were some genuine laughs here.
Macy
is one of the greatest actors of his generation. As a director, he doesn’t have much in the way
of style. It’s hard to see what drew him
to the material in the first place as most of the gags revolve around poop,
burping, sex, and drugs. Some enjoyment can
be found from seeing Upton and Daddario being totally willing to make a fool of
themselves, but they really deserved a vehicle worthy of their talents.
