I have fallen way behind so I will be doing some quick and dirty "reviews" just to keep track of the things I've read, seen or listened to. I've said that before, but I really mean it this time. I mean, I saw this movie back in January I believe so of course I don't remember details. So here goes.

Two travelling guys who work marketing a highly caffeinated drink to college kids run amok of the law after Paul Rudd's character has a melt down. For community service, they have to reluctantly become "big brothers" for two kids. One, a nerdy role playing kid and the other a profanity filled street wise African-American kid with an obsession with boobies. Of course they are perfectly matched up, though they don't realize it at first.

So it's fairly formulaic, though the jokes are good and the ending while expected - geeky guy gets girl etc. has some small twists that keep the audience guessing. There is enough originality in the details to keep it fresh.
