Watching [Travis] add his kitschy touch to such a witless, faux-edgy movie can only be described as a Travis-ty.

Overview
College "frenemies" Lauren and Katie move in together after losing a relationship and rent control, respectively. Sharing Katie's late grandmother's apartment in New York City, the girls bicker with each other until one fateful night, when Katie's noisy bedroom activities make Lauren barge in and discover a dirty little secret. This revelation brings them closer together, and Lauren (the brains) and Katie (the talent) concoct a wildly successful business venture. As profits swell, the girls reevaluate their hopes and dreams and realize that just because someone pees in your hair in college doesn't mean she won't be your best friend 10 years later.

Unfortunately Travis lacks the comedic skill and humanistic insight to make this anything more than Judd Apatow lite.
Drew Hunt, Chicago Reader

A fun, healthy, sexy comedy that pulls no punches and focuses on a realistic female friendship and the powerful dynamic that sexuality plays in our lives.
Amanda Mae Meyncke, Film.com

The film is worth seeing for the humor and for its high level of energy, but it falls short of being the "complete package."
James Berardinelli, ReelViews

Is it one for the ages? No. Is it a good time? Good enough.
