Life is just about perfect for 35-year-old video game tester Alex, he has a dream job that enables him to play video games 24/7, and get payed for it. He has no real responsibilities in life, and best of all, he gets to sleep in every day.

That is until one day his landlord kicks him out and he’s forced to move in with his grandmother and her two roommates.

Of course rather than letting his workmates know he’s living with three old ladies, he keeps the truth to a minimum and lets slip that he’s moved in with three hot babes.

Complications arise when a new boss, that just happens to be an attractive female, is brought in to make sure the bug ridden game that the testers are working on, gets released on time.

Unfortunately for the movie, what could have been a very funny romantic comedy, turns out to be nothing more than an over sexualised, pot-headed excuse to use the f-word every ten seconds.

Where as there are some genuinely funny moments, and a passable general plot, you can’t but wonder at the end of the movie if it would have actually been funny if you, the viewer, had be on drugs.

Food for thought:
Is maturity a pre-requisite for an authentic life?

Rent or Buy?
Neither, it sucks.
