The 'frat boys' decide to rock up to The party the friends and families attended when all hell breaks loose.

Check out the trailer below!


Review

This has to be one of the worst movies I have viewed in my entire life and recommend every sane individual to avoid it at all costs,  At no point did I ever laugh! This movie Humour was so childish and annoying that I almost gave up half way through the movie. Adam Sandler is Obnoxious, and the rest of the crew are just downright untalented.


The scariest fact about this movie is that the budget was 80+ million dollars and raked in 133 million dollars. How films with Adam Sandler in it can rake in money is beyond any common logic.

Review:  

Comedy and Romance combined, a perfect Friday night chick flick.
The film is entertaining and engaging, mainly targeted at teenage girls, as they are the real romance fans.

Surprisingly, This story is modified from Shakespeare’s "Twelfth Night".
Viola is the star of girl’s soccer team at her school. Unfortunately, the girl’s soccer team gets cut.
That’s when she breaks up with her boyfriend, which is also the captain of the boy’s soccer. She leaves him after being claimed that girls cant play as good as boys.
At that point trouble happens; Bynes decides to be her twin brother just to continue her dream of playing soccer. She breaks all the rules and does anything to keep her disguise hidden.




The movie contains many funny and entertaining scenes. Her mother constantly trying to get her daughters girly act on board but she always seems to fall in trouble. Whether it’s starting a fight at the carnival kissing booth or having a catfight in the girl’s bathroom. Where you see Veola you know trouble is coming.

Has this review made you look forward to watching the movie ?!! well you can watch it free on youtube on the following link.
