A friend of mine had seen this film in the theater and told me it was hysterical. Not a "Lampoon" movie at all, but in a good way. It's more of a cult film, than a typical main stream "studio" comedy. I think a lot of the bad reviews come from people thinking they were going to see Van Wilder or Animal House and then comparing those films to this one. First off, this is clearly an indie movie with a very small budget. It looks great, but is still a small, contained movie. I thought the acting was really sharp all around. Louise Lasser is really brilliant in this. Whenever you see this kind of movie, it's always old men and young women, but this really turns that on its head and these women are not 40's or 50's, but really in their 70's. The film goes for it and you have to respect that (the wedding and honeymoon sequence is laugh after laugh). I'm sure some people might find the overall concept of 20 year old guys with 70 year old women disgusting and if you're looking for a Nikki Ziering romp with young girls, don't waste your time. It sorta reminded me of early Woody Allen ala Take the Money and Run or Bananas (wild, odd, insane humor). The scene after the guys mistakenly give poisoned lemonade to the gardener and he stumbles to his death in the background while they sit eating lunch talking about their respective sandwiches is bloody hysterical! When both couples enter their master bedroom from different doors all carrying shotguns and proceed to blow the bed to hell had me on the floor. Don't be fooled by the misleading marketing. This is a throw back, 60's-esque cult comedy. It's just plain funny, fresh and certainly different. Well worth the rental.
