Dave, Sam and Jeff are about to graduate from Holden University with honors in lying, cheating and scheming. The three roommates have proudly scammed their way through the last four years of college and now, during final exams, these big-men-on-campus are about to be busted by the most unlikely dude in school. Self-dubbed Cool Ethan, an ambitious nerd with a bad crush, enters their lives one day and everything begins to unravel.

Gimly5/10

_Slackers_ may very well be the best version of this exact idea (one that I've seen explored **multiple** times) but that's more a knock against the others than praise for _Slackers_. _Final rating:★★½ - Not quite for me, but I definitely get the appeal._

Decent watch, could watch again, and can recommend. I don't think this is a movie anyone is going to watch again and again, but I believe it's memorable enough to be somewhat infamous. This is the movie with the hairdoll. My big problem with this movie is that the protagonists are scumbag liars and cheaters, and while the antagonist is somewhat crazy, he's the villain because he catches them in the act of misdeeds. That he uses the information to his advantage is actually somewhat symbolic of heroic stories, but he's such a nutcase that it is twisted. I'd love to see a reboot of this with Schwartzmen's character as the protagonist, but with some proper character development would be a great movie, this is, at best, a good movie.
