Though it strives to mimic The Hangover, 21 and Over is too predictable, too unabashedly profane, and too inconsistently funny to carry the torch.

Movie Info
Straight-A college student Jeff Chang has always done what he was supposed to do. But when his two best friends Casey and Miller surprise him with a visit for his 21st birthday, Jeff Chang decides to do everything he wants to do for a change, even though his important medical school interview is early the next morning. What was supposed to be one beer becomes a night of humiliation, over indulgence and utter debauchery in this coming-of-drinking-age-comedy, from the writers of THE HANGOVER,

All Critics (90) | Top Critics (20) | Fresh (23) | Rotten (66)
One of those brashly formulaic all-night-long youth-party flicks that's redeemed by the speed and personality of the actors.
Top CriticThese guys get into more trouble in one night than members of this film's target audience will encounter in their entire college lives.
All, or at least some, might be forgiven if there were just one likable character or memorable joke.
Among the ingredients "21" is missing: the infectiously random silliness of a Zach Galifianakis, the smug hunkiness of a Bradley Cooper, and any sort of Vegas-y gloss whatsoever.
21 & Over provides lots of fun while the beer flows. Too bad the R.A. felt like he had to come in and ask everyone about their major.
Lucas and Moore don't bother to come up with a single funny joke. Instead they apparently hope that combining racist and sexist insults with unfocused mayhem will be diversion enough.
Despite the veneer of vomit-stained raucousness, it's fairly mild stuff ...
A filming-by-numbers adolescent comedy ...
One of many recent films that could serve as a recruiting advertisement for Al Qaeda.
( ... ) this flatlines so often it's impossible to tell where the actual low point is. Is it the slow motion vomiting shot from multiple angles? Or a grown man standing on a bar ready to relieve himself over everyone else?
The final implication that this is how you grow up and find yourself makes one fear for the future of US youth. And, indeed, America itself.
There's probably a great comedy to be made about that daunting, awkward transition from youth to adulthood - 21 & Over just isn't it.
The writers of The Hangover stick with the same formula for this university-aged romp about three young guys who get far too drunk for their own good.
Boozed-up students might enjoy it, but it's just going to make anyone over the age of 21 feel really old.
Dire.
The plot has a certain energy but the characters are obnoxious and the gags fall flat.
In the 21st century the only intelligent people who can be pardoned for questioning evolution are those watching films such as 21 and Over.
Simply put, with friends like these, who needs enemas?
Miles Teller certainly has a way with a wisecrack. But otherwise, file next to Broken Lizard's execrable Beerfest.
If we must have three horny fools getting their rocks off during a wild all-nighter prefabricated for cult appeal, at least it's these three, whose combined bonhomie could get just about any party started.
Enlivened by pacey direction and likeable comic performances, though there's a strong sense of having seen it all before and some of the jokes are a little misguided.
Moore and Lucas's script treats the characters with affection and is peppered with belly laughs.
A silly comedy that is rife with influences from those that came before.
A Porkies-lite college comedy that offers virtually nothing by way of laughs. Avoid.
The whole endeavour feels lazy and conformist with little to recommend it.
