When I saw that there was a movie about 2 friends, named Spence and Hogan, who start a club aimed at bedding older women, and the film also featured Kaley Cuoco and Chyna....yes Chyna. I had no choice but to watch it, despite its awful IMDB reviews.
Anyhoo, it's not quite as bad as all that, if you accept that there seemed to be very little effort on the part of the script. Yes it's dumber than a box of rocks, but the leads give effort and there are B listers galore to fill out the roster who also give it all they have. Joe Mantegna and Joe Polito for example.
The story, as I said, is rather simple and hacky. Spence and Hogan have just graduated Business school and have been given jobs at a local law firm thanks to Spence's dads connections. At the graduation party however, Hogans eye for aged flesh (in this case, Faye Dunaway. Yes Faye Dunaway) leads to trouble and leaves the pair scrambling to find another job.
They hook up with another law firm run by Mantegna and Polito and hilarity sort of ensues when they end up at a party with some older broads and devise a scheme to help hook up horny young dudes with old bitches on the prowl.
I wont lie and say I didn't laugh, but after the initial 20-30 minutes it gets really tiresome watching the same old jokes. And the image of Chyna recreating the refrigerator scene from 9 1/2 Weeks will be forever burned into my mind. There is a standout in the movie though. Jeremy Rowley as Karl, another assistant at the law firm, who likes to fuck office equipment, and later Chyna, amused me greatly.
But yeah, there's a ton of joke recycling, as almost every character seems to have been given a flash cards worth of jokes and has to use them throughout the film.
There is almost no nudity to speak of. Extras get their boobs out a few times but everyone who has sex barely removes their clothes whilst doing so, a real pet peeve of mine.
Cuoco is woefully underutilized as the clingy/bitchy girlfriend of one of the leads. Mo Collins is in this and while she of course doesn't get naked, she does look good all slutted up, so that's something.
No real need to join this club. Immature stoners probably need only apply for membership and even they wont be bowled over.
