Concept: 0/4 (Terrible)
Story: 3/4 (Good)
Characters: 4/4 (Great)
Dialog: 4/4 (Great)
Pacing: 4/4 (Great)
Cinematography: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Special effects/design: 3/4 (Good)
Acting: 3/4 (Good)
Music: 3/4 (Good)
Subjective Rating: 7/10 (Good, 3/4). Well, that was completely different than what I expected. Yes, there are lots of dick jokes and a lengthy vomiting scene, but it's not really that kind of movie. If you took all the jokes out, you would still have a perfectly good (if significantly shorter and less entertaining) drama. I guess all the comparisons critics made to The Hangover just meant "this is also an R-rated movie that is funny" - because that is all they have in common.
Objective Rating (Average): 2.9/4 (Good)
