Three best friends from Pennsylvania State University, Mike (Nicholas D'Agosto), Bump (Josh Gad), and Scottie (Bret Harrison), make their way to the annual Mardi Gras festival in New Orleans for "boobs, beads and brews." They are accompanied by Mike's clingy girlfriend, Erica (Danneel Harris).
Mike is disappointed to learn that Erica lied about grieving over the death of her grandfather so he would bring her along and then shocked when she connects with her friend Lucy (Arielle Kebbel) and flashes her breasts to the crowd. Meanwhile, it is revealed that Scottie actually reserved a restaurant table instead of a hotel room, forcing them all to spend the night on the street.
Ultimately, Mike decides it's time to leave his girlfriend and party with his friends.
Shockya panned the film,[6] writing "There is some piecemeal — though very minuscule, it must be stressed – charm to some of Gad's energetic rants, and a riff about cowboy costumes having "jumped the gay shark" is mildly amusing. Otherwise, however, this is a movie which tries to wring its meager laughs from a scene in which shit literally hits the fan. Josh Heald's script is a recycled bunch of road trip cliches, and never very funny ones at that."[7]
