There was a time when the National Lampoon name meant something in film. I know that seems like an impossible time when you think back to movies like 'National Lampoon's: Gold Diggers' or 'National Lampoon's Presents Dorm Daze,' but those aren't what I'm talking about. I'm talking about movies like 'Animal House' and 'Caddyshack.' Those movies literally changed comedy. 'Gold Diggers' made you want to change the channel.
The movie stars Will Friedle who played Cory Matthews older brother in the long-running show, 'Boy Meets World.' I think this was his move at transitioning into film, and specifically more mature roles. This movie follows a couple of guys trying to marry older, rich women for their fortunes. I'll give them credit for this: that actually sounds like a movie that would be in theaters. The problem is that it doesn't sound like a GOOD movie.
