Last weekend, Russovoir partied fairly hard; it was one of those nights you just want to let loose of your inhibitions and in the wee hours of the night to the crack of dawn, you withdraw all forms of responsibilities apart from your phone and wallet in constant safe keeping. At that rebellious time and space, it's not entirely about the revelry and sin; it's about a one and only life realized, renewed, and celebrated, conveniently in the security of stocky bouncers.
Like a divine intervention, Russovoir finally knew how to write about 21 & Over. Since the film was daft at first, Russovoir needed the drive to write, what and why to write - a persuasive angle by which it's to be viewed how it should be despite having to finish the film. Appealing actors - Justin Chon, Miles Teller, and fresh from the sleeper success of Pitch Perfect (2012), Skylar Astin led Russovoir to it devoid of impatience because, simply put, the rapport was fresh.

Admittedly, they were all it took to make Russovoir watch; they all came so familiar from their previous films, none of which personally was a disappointment. It's like they brought curious cast quality on a film one reads in passing was "too predictable and inconsistently funny..." (Rotten Tomatoes). Russovoir wonders, they must have seen too many films of similar genre. 21 & Over, despite the depravity and explicit obscenity, invested profoundly and appropriately on its actors that which ultimately salvaged the storyline to a tolerable.

Overwhelmed by his character and more significantly the turnaround persona of Miles Teller (above) he was the kick, immediately or eventually, depending on the dosage of him before. A promising sight in earlier and tamed roles in Rabbit Hole (2010) and Footloose (2011), the kick was unexpectedly hard as it is impressive; and you wonder, was this outburst of unexplored talent provoked by alcohol? However he got it, Russovoir raises the red cup for an intoxicating performance.
