Both guys may have met their match, womanizer Wheeler is placed with Ronnie (Thompson), 4 ft of foul mouth dynamite and Danny with Augie (Mintz-Plasse), a cape wearing dungeons and dragons fantasizer whose has a crush on a girl but is afraid to tell her. The guys must do whatever to win their partners over so that they can stay out of jail.

Reel Talk:

Paul Rudd plays one of the best non chalant characters in this film and some of his previous movies. It's almost like that's how he really is as a person, dry and humorless. Sean William Scott is just naturally funny, got sorta like a Jim Carrey vibe. Together the two work which provides a funny movie. Jane Lynch as the former drug addict turn mentoring camp founder is hilarious as well as Bobb'e J. Thompson's constant swearing character Ronnie. Although it gets to a point when you say, ok somebody needs to pop this little guy in the mouth (mainly his mother). Christopher Mintz-Plasse following up his super performance in Superbad, puts in another good performance as the shy but heroic Augie. If you need a good pick me up movie, this is a movie worth catching for the laughs.
