In planning his 20-year reunion, Pittsburgh schlub Dan Landsman (Jack Black) aggravates the inferiority complex he's been nursing since high school, so he contrives to nab a reunion RSVP from former class cool kid Oliver Lawless (James Marsden). Thus begins a farfetched bromantic farce in which unexpected developments ensue, including actual hilarity, amazing Black-Marsden chemistry, and a scorched-earth subversion of the default homophobia that's otherwise so common to movies like this.
