I thought this movie was a great little character study and comedy of manners. Very underrated, with very realistic (at time almost too much so!) personalities and thoughtfully observed relationships/group dynamics. Cera and Hoffman give totally fearless and compelling performances as two very different types of obnoxious but somehow still sympathetic travelers. Forget "This Is the End," this is Michael Cera truly playing against type and showing off his chops as an anxious, self-involved and somewhat combative drug-tourist. On their own, the combination of the stupefied and manic facial expressions and the ecstatic flailing body movements he performs during a key swimming scene made the film worth recommending to Cera fans, but the rest of the movie is so good that Cera-fandom is definitely not a prerequisite for enjoying it.
