Just because hot girls do crazy stuff, doesn't mean it's funny

Warning: Spoilers
The girls are hot and actually interesting, not one of these modern cookie-cutter girls you see all around. Kate Upton with a "I'm not skinny and I don't care (mostly because I have big boobs, but, that is beside the point)" and Alexandra Daddario with those peculiar eyes, also do a decent enough job acting, which is actually a nice surprise for Upton. Story is also mostly OK, nothing special, but, based on real stuff (we've all seen these "girlfights for the guy" amongst our friends) and has the potential to be funny.

Sadly, it's not. Funny. In all honesty, there are a few funny moments and some fun to be had, but, mostly, it's just these hotties doing crazy stuff. It's somewhat interesting and you do stay watching them, but, it's far from enough to make even a half-decent comedy.

Apart from some problems in the script (like near the end, when Daddario "threatens" the principal, refusing to resign as a teacher, yet I don't think anybody has any idea what she threatens him with), the biggest problem seems to be the lack of "chemistry" between the leads, including the male (object of their affections). Look-wise, it's good casting. Otherwise, it's bad. The best chemistry we get from Upton and the "fourth wheel" guy they pick up along the way.

Bottom line: you can watch these hotties in other stuff, so skip this one.
