This is better than Porky's or Meatballs. Not pretentious at all. There's something magical about the way these guys congregate in that bowling alley. I love the little table in there where they hang out and eat and talk about chicks, and the mini-bowling game in there. I like how when they went on that quadruple date at the end, the four of them still hung out at their little table. Despite all the good-natured jabbing of each other, they really have great friendships. I have to say that I relate to Joey's character the most of the three, and that the other three each remind me of particular guys I knew in high school. A good amount of pizza in this film too....I like how they get a pizza to go at the bowling alley to take back before they go home with the chicks. And the next day, they are sitting around near the beach eating more pepperoni pizza. "Michael" is hilarious. He acts like a selfish pig to Julie Ann which is pretty funny. "Sex won't mean anything to us, Michael." "Speak for yourself- it will mean a HELL of a lot to me"...then at her house ..."I'd like to go with you, but I don't want another date where I go home frustrated. Bye" Then turns around and says "Oh...I miss being with you." But it was great when he tells that meat head lifeguard "why don't you go take a flying fukk!!" This movie is a must-watch for me every summer and then "men of the Year" song captures it too. Plus it's VESTRON VIDEO BABY!
