The worst part is that the movie gets consistently less funny as it goes on. The final 15 minutes or so is cringe inducing. The direction isn't much better. The whole thing has a look of a made for cable TV movie you'd see on a kid's network. Not only is Kal Penn inconsistent with his accent from scene to scene, sometimes it's every other line.
On a few occasions, I couldn't even make out the dialog. The actors clearly didn't give a clean read but it made through to the final cut anyways. I realize this was made on the cheap, but you can tell the folks behind the camera didn't put forth much effort.
Either that or they didn't have the time. Regardless, it's not pretty to watch. The only saving grace are the actors. Despite Kal Penn not bothering to hold his accent, everybody on screen appears to be having a good time. Even if everything else is awful, I can't hate a movie where it at least appears that the actors enjoyed their work.
They all seemed determined to give their best despite what they all must have known was horrendous material.
Kal and the female lead Lauren Cohan admirably build some chemistry with little help from their lines. Holly Davidson also steals a couple of scenes as the "cockney" member of the group. While I didn't think this was a complete disaster, you'd be wise to avoid it.
