Much better than expected.

Comedies exist for a reason, TO LAUGH. this comedy is gut-bursting funny.
I feel as a graduate student in higher education, this is a welcome break from serious cerebral humour and other such pretension. I adored Diaz and Timberlake because they were having fun, they got to let lose and have a role that fits like a normal person. Or a normal, slacker person.
The word play and various satirical remarks on society and education various habits of teenagers are pretty funny. What gets me most about this is that the laugh factor doesn't go away at all. It's a cult classic I think for anyone who teaches or is in higher education as a living to laugh off what so few people actually do.
The thing is movie ratings exist for a reason, if people have issues with drug use and vulgarity you don't have to watch it, this movie had a set audience and has a lot of redeeming moments despite the cynicism in the film. It's realistic and funny. It is supposed to be cheerful even through the cynicism.
