Firstly, the the hate reviews are clearly coming from the anti-woke brigade that clearly don't even understand what woke means if it hit them in the face.
Ok, so on to the film.
I was pleasantly surprised with this one.
Starts off as a college buddy comedy, but not full blown laugh out loud levels.
It's got some good laughs here and there but is quite witty as well.
The film very slowly starts to gives things a more serious feel from about half way through.
By the end it does make a clear social statement, there's no denying that.
However it's a very real and accurate social statement.
People that don't like the truth just hide behind hate reviews and think they're achieving something, when all they're doing is embarrassing themselves.
The film has decent production value and well cast.
Pretty decent performances all round as well.

An Admirable Film
This is an unusual find. I am not even sure what genre the film is in. However, I am sure it is very good and interesting. This film takes a college party night and examines an "emergency" and how it intertwines class, social, and racial issues as well as coming of age issues. The dialogue is smart. The young cast is relatively unknown but they are solid and interesting. The Direction and cinematography are strong. This is very watchable and I found the way this unfolded to be very admirable.
7.2/10. Recommended
This is a good movie.
At first, you may think it's similar to "SUPERBAD" or "PINEAPPLE EXPRESS".
Then, it's similar to "AFTER HOURS".
In my opinion, the last 30 minutes, where this movie became something different, these minutes are the best of it.
This is not a hilarious movie, if you expect something like that, you will be disappointed. There are some funny moments though.
This is a coming of age comedy/drama, where racial issues are being addressed.
Young actors are very good, the script is clever, it is well directed,
but the last 30 minutes are brilliant, and touching. I am a white guy who lives in Europe, i don't get emotional with racial issues, however, the ending make me tear up.
For sure, this is not as good as SUPERBAD or AFTER HOURS, it is a different movie, but it is still interesting and good. If you know what to expect, you will like it too.
