Audience Reviews

SWITCH. 3/10 Dec 30, 2020
Despite efforts to wrap this film in a friendship bow to balance out the toxic BS, it doesn't succeed. Audiences aren't stupid. Sure, we indulge in campy, tacky romances and Christmas fare from time to time, but at least those films are honest about what they are trying to be. 'Buddy Games' tries too hard to be funny, whimsical and cool, and it fails at every turn.

Boring watch, won't watch again, and can't recommend.

If you thought the responsible family aspect of "Grown Ups" was a bit much, then this is a much more juvenile version with guys of the same age and lower quality, in general.

The highlight memorable moments are putting balls on someone's face, selling all their belongings, and this summer camp game on steroids where they do stupid things just to see who will actually do it. Basically Jackass, but...less?

Olivia Munn is by far the best thing in this movie, not because she's pretty but because she literally has the best part, separated from the boys. Honestly, she is way above this movie.

I honestly wouldn't waste your time: "American Pie: Beta House" is easily way better than this.
