Mixing the neurotic drive of Woody Allen with the urbane wit of Stillman, this well-written debut presents an uncompromising take on guys who simply can't let go of college--and their prolonged adolescence.

Charts the aimlessness and ennui of four insufferable, maturation-adverse college grads with relaxed realism.

Not much happens, but it captures that moment between college and the real world with perceptive [occasionally glib] accuracy.

Sporadically funny film with an achingly predictable plot – your enjoyment of this will hinge on whether or not you think Will Ferrell is a Comedy God.
