Plot:
Upon arriving on campus Jake (Jenner) and Plummer (Baker) are a couple of rookies on the college baseball team who are preparing for the beginning of the school semester. While settling in they become acquainted with their fellow team mates who are a bunch of rebellious, hard partying, womanizing guys waiting for the season to start so that they can get on the diamond and show what they got. Jake while out with the guys meets Beverly (Deutch) an art student who although not a fan of loud and arrogant baseball players, is attracted to his quiet, laid back demeanor and so the two begins to date before classes start for them both.
Reel Talk:
This coming of age movie is based in the 80's which was some good years and it is sort of a throwback of the films during that era. It tries but it fails to live up to the films of yesteryear's because right off it lacked any real storyline. Just starts off and goes with no real direction or objective other than to I guess to make us laugh which is minimal. The best thing about this movie is the soundtrack which was jamming with all the old school hits from the 80's. This is definitely a film that you can wait and catch on cable. Hey why don't they just do a remake of ANIMAL HOUSE? LOL!!!
