Four guys hang out, kid one another, get into scuffles and flash their gonadal searchlight for available women. Yikes, haven't there been enough variations on the multiple-buddy movie? Actually, no. Oct 4, 2009 | Full Review…

What it lacks as a cutting character drama, it makes up for in easily quaffable lifestyle porn, though it's up for debate whether one of those things is equal to the other. Jun 8, 2015 | Rating: 7/10 | Full Review…

Liman and Favreau concoct a consciously derivative world for these guys, and though it's appropriate to the movie, I got tired of it after a while. Sep 23, 2007 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…
