We all love our RA.

A freshman struggling in college befriended his dorm's RA, and they spent the night and learned about each other.

Early on, the movie had a great way of showing how our main character was lonely. Whenever the camera turned to his stuffed animal, there's always subtitles that replied back to our main character. Apparently it was him talking to his friend, the stuffed animal. Another part was that he's a mommy boy. He tried to go to parties, and clearly he was very awkward.

The first half of the story was mostly him on a walk with his RA, and for like 20 minutes it was just them talking. The way they talked was very realistic. It was awkward and had a bunch of repeating words. It just felt like I was watching two real life college students talking, not two actors remembering the script and acting out. This is possible because the two main actors were phenomenal.

Then the conflict happened. Both sides clearly did things wrong, and the movie did not show who's right or wrong. These scenarios definitely could happen in real life. Also, there's no emotional scene where they all made up.

Overall, a realistic and funny slice of life that showed some college students living their lives in college. 8.5/10.

Every once in a while you come across a true slice o' life movie that comes this close to reality. Raiff is just a smidge too gentle and Gelula a tad too harsh (if oddly alluring), but it still works fairly well. No cheap tricks, either, such as the Defining Character Death (except for the turtle). Congrats to Raiff and Gelula.

Watching this made me miss college and be glad that I'm done with college, all at the same time.

The title of this movie is quite misleading, and that is the only significant flaw with this film.

If you are looking for a raunchy college comedy like the title suggests it might be, then you may be disappointed, however you are more likely to be surprised in a good way.

The movie, while within the college party setting, is actually a very meaningful and real emotional drama with great insight into the anxieties and loneliness accompanied with the college experience.

Really? The movie itself is a sweet small indie film. I liked it! But, who came up with the title, and, why? Just a really poor choice. Just my opinion.
