A group of kids who were never popular in high school decide to break out of their shells and go crazy over the summer before they head off to college. Of course, nic braun (plays andy) is 28, so its hard to picture him as a high school senior. Although he did get the role on succession soon after this. Andy claims to be a tennis teacher, but the rich, society women are actually paying him for sex. Good for him. But we seem to lose track of the other three for most of the film. Lion teaches martial arts, but seems to be trying every drug there is. Not sure what the journey or conflict is here... maybe just to stay out of jail until they head off to college. For high school kids, they don't seem to have any rules or parents. Just rich kids doing rich kid things. Hard to feel sympathy for them. The script needed a major tune-up. It's pretty much a starring role for braun.... the others seem to be along for the ride. Written and directed by chris mccoy.

Plot summary
Andy and his three nerdy mates are graduating A-students, but feel they missed out on juvenile fun and make a pact to catch up with love - and party life during the summer before each attending another ivy League college. 'The lion' is first to score via his dojo job as martial arts sensei. Andy's job as country club junior tennis coach however is perfect to earn a pretty penny from private lessons, often actually in wealthy bored women's beds, which gets him exposed to the senior staff after driving naked to avoid an early-returning husband catching on. Andy still dreams of true love with an Indian Internet BFF whom he promises to pay for a ticket so they can meet at last.

a porky's for rich kids
Unbelievably bad script
The movie looks well made, the actors are decent enough but the storyline and dialogs are so bad that sometimes I wondered if the whole thing was a persiflage. Alas, it isn't.
Flawed teen summer movie
The movie was reasonably fun. The actors played well, the ideas were interesting, if not original, and besides a glaring lack of tension, it was an OK movie. It's the old idea of kids who decide to party before they each leave for college, but in this case there were "the good kids" which stayed home and virgin in order to study to get to the good colleges, so they have a "summer of yes" in which to do all the things they regretted not doing in high school. Yet they are all well off and ridiculously good looking and people like them so there are no real obstacles to overcome in reaching their goals. So yes, it's a feel good movie, but it's way too easy for them to feel good, so the viewer has little opportunity to empathize.
