WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

In a move of support for their friend Mikey (Jordan), who’s devastated after a recent breakup, Jason (Efron) and Daniel (Teller) vow to maintain their single status for as long as they possibly can. Of course, women and relationships soon come into their lives so all three must try to keep the image of bachelorhood within themselves…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Zac Efron finally finds his footing with raunchy but sweet rom-coms such as this one, and is backed up by strong turns by his fairly young co-stars who are all credible in their own right.
