High school reunions should only be this satisfying.

A wild at heart, anarchic comedy that believes in living dangerously.

A bright burst of action and comedy with a cast that makes for rousing good company.

Smart in a rare way that matters greatly to good contemporary comedy: Like last year's "Flirting With Disaster," its script and direction underplay absurd situations, letting its characters amuse without showing the strains of forced wackiness.

In its soft-spoken way, it is fierce, shaggy and deeply weirded out.
