Quality Comedy

Every once in awhile, a clever comedy comes out, and this movie is one of them. No over the top disgusting jokes, sure there's a few, but nothing that would make you regret taking the kids. Speaking of which, the lead actors act a lot like kids throughout the movie, and it is hysterical.
The movie opens quickly with Cameron getting dumped (in a horrible way by the way) and Ashton getting fired (by his own father, very funny): from there is moves at a torrid pace as both end up in Vegas and the real fun begins. This movie wastes no time in getting to the good stuff, a definite sign of a quality film.
The scenes where Cameron and Ashton party it up and eventually get married are masterfully directed and edited. It literally makes you feel like you're drunk too; the kids might call it a sugar buzz.
Once married, it gets even better (hard to believe, but true) as they go at it like cats and dogs, spoiled little kids, and an old married couple all rolled into one big pile of devious laughter! Along the way, it's apparent that Cameron is full of confidence and accepting of responsibility, and poor Ashton (so lovable in a non homosexual way) is the one who's afraid to bet on himself because he lacks what Cameron has.
The story intensifies and reaches a crescendo when the two realize they may actually like one another (which was obvious from the start). The ending is almost tearful as both characters take risks and are forever changed by the choices they've made throughout the story. Deep stuff for a comedy.
The actors are great together. They play off of one another like they were really talking. If I didn't know any better, I'd say they could pass for a real couple. And the supporting Actor, who's Ashton's best friend, is off the wall, quirky, bizarre funny. Shockingly funny. Overall, as you can tell, I thought this movie was of high quality and worth viewing.
