Despite his new fortune and fame, there is one small favor that Thad needs done before he saves the day: the biggest booze-and-sloot fest in BMS history. Welcome to Thadland!

Good concept, poorly executed.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
I was in this movie as a Police Officer and I had a great time. I hope every one gets the chance to see this. It's definitely a funny movie. Adam Sanderish funny.The director actually would stop filming to get an opinion of a Background Actor. You could feel his passion for his work. This is rare.I was a little disappointed that it went straight to online rentals. But, all in all it was worth the wait.I really hope to work with this crew again. I think it was one of the best, most friendly sets I've been on.Also, the main cast was very kind and willing to share advice.Or,a joke.I was actually thrilled while I was watching it.
I don't generally write reviews on movies on here. I was a big fan of the TV and donated to the kick-starter though so I was anxiously awaiting seeing this movie.I am definitely torn on it. I don't agree with reviews saying it's completely horrible. It has some very funny parts sprinkled throughout it, and is watchable. But it's just so so so far removed from the spirit of the original show. I am not even a football fan, but because of the way humour and football were mixed in the show, I loved it. I also feel the football side of things was an important part of the characters in the show, and obviously a reason the Goat House existed in the first place. I marked this as containing 'spoilers' because it's hard to not point out that there is literally about 2 minutes of football content in the movie.It's basically a party movie. But it doesn't really do an amazing job at that either. Everything feels rushed and again, the humour is just a different type of humour than the show was. Take one of the better party episodes from the show, but stretch it out with quite a bit of filler for an hour and 30 minutes, and you have the movie.Most of the really funny parts (to me) revolved around Thad and his dialogue. But it would be pretty hard to screw up that character. That's one consistent element from the TV show, and the reason I can still give this a 5 ratings despite my criticisms. He really does carry the movie in my opinion.I guess it could have been much worse. But it's definitely not anything fantastic. I really think they should have stuck to their original formula more. The one that gained the show a rabid fan base the helped them fund this movie.
This is the best movie ever, we waited for so long...now its finally here, guys killed it, all expectations are satisfied. Gongratz to Thad. We are hoping for some crazy second part, you guys deserve def this movie to be famous.. It was nice watching this movie so stoned and trying to remember the old days few years ago, hilarious. Only the best words, really. People should watch BMS show before this movie, lot of emotions at one place. And also, i need to mention, congrats for all girls, we couldn't expect less that that, good choice as always, but we missed Thad's sister. Can't wait for another yours movie or show. Write yourself a check.
I was envisioning Thad in the NFL with appearances being made by NFL players. Seeing him in his uniform or practicing for his new NFL team. Seeing him getting drafted should have been a scene in the movie, considering how much they talked about it during the show. We really got none of that. Very small amounts of the plot had anything to do with football at all.When I heard they were bringing back Radon who is absolutely brilliant in his role on the show, I had high hopes, maybe we would catch up with him in the NFL or see him resurrect DREAMS on television now being a pro player. I was really disappointed to see how little he was used in the movie. Same goes for Shilo. Thought it was very forced to work him back into the story. Thought maybe we would see him playing in NFL or rival college team . But he had a very minor part in the movie.Would have really liked to see more of a story line with the development of the characters going forward rather than just over the top drugs and partying the entire time.Some actors in the movie are on the wrong side of 30 playing college kids. The show went off the air nearly 5 years ago now, there was way too much time in between for the characters to still be playing the same ages as they were in the show. Really wish they were able to make a real theatrical movie with a real budget because based on how great the TV show was, I think they could have made a great movie.
