Possibly the worst movie I've seen in a while. I don't think this movie made it to theatres, and I can see why.The plot is about an out casted teachers assistant who brings his league of out casted students to the top of a prestigious college. The problem is, the movie just didn't make sense. The out casts each find their own special skill in competing in the "Hastings Cup" competition. Although the movie takes place during modern times, for some reason the head students are an aristocracy. The plot was contrived and obvious, the jokes were cliche and classless, and the characters were mockeries of themselves.
This movie follows a genre that I often have mixed reviews about. I would describe it as slapstick/dirty comedy. While some of these movies can be well thought out and contain some intelligent humor (ie: Superbad, which I will be blogging about next), often these movies come out dry and insensitive. For instance this movie relied on the similar ethnicity's/characteristics of two of the main characters.
Sadie (played by Holly Davidson) is an immodest cockney English girl. While Seamus (played by Glenn Barry) plays an angry Irishman. The movie often resorted to these characters for jokes.
The movie predictably becomes a rivalry between Taj Badalandabad (played by Kal Penn) and Pip Everett (Daniel Percival). Naturally the underdog wins the Hastings cup, steals Pip's girlfriend and lives happilly ever after.
The movie was just awful in general and is not worth further explanation.
Final rating: 1.5
