Straight-A college student Jeff Chang (Justin Chon) has always done what's been expected of him. But when his two best friends, Miller (Miles Teller) and Casey (Skylar Astin), arrive on campus to surprise him for his 21st birthday, Jeff finally agrees to cut loose. Although he has a crucial med-school interview early the next morning, Jeff lets his pals take him out for one drink. Many drinks later, Jeff has blacked out and is in danger of blowing the most important day of his life.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Though it strives to mimic The Hangover, 21 and Over is too predictable, too unabashedly profane, and too inconsistently funny to carry the torch.

Jason S. @RT34456731 Dec 24 Highly underrated movie in the same vein as The Hangover. See more Ed R @JustcallmeER Nov 6 Though it strives to mimic The Hangover, 21 and Over is too predictable, too unabashedly profane, and too inconsistently funny to carry the torch. See more Emilliano Jr S @emill_santos 09/23/2023 Like a cheap, poor man's The Hangover. See more cbcguy @RT20973746 08/18/2023 Hilarious at times but has its flaws, had some great ideas but some parts were executed poorly. See more 12/12/2022 Some funny parts, but not a good movie all around See more 01/04/2022 Sarah Wright and Skylar Astin have really good chemistry in their scenes but that's the only true highlight. Otherwise, it's a mildly funny at best comedy that relies on played-out tropes. See more Read all reviews
