Bad Version of Superbad


Very similar, but the jokes were not as funny.

My thoughts exactly. I like Cecily Strong and thought the SNL people would make it funny, but the plot was basically Superbad except they couldn't manage to make up for the blatant misogyny and stereotypes with charm because there was no charm.

More like Caddyshack

This clearly shows my age, but I thought it was most inspired by Caddyshack. The Fred Armison scenes sealed the deal for me.

That said, the consistency between those three movies is that they were created by Lorne Michaels-era SNL comics, if not produced by the man himself. Also, they all make good use of the SNL cast members of their respective periods who have not quite broken into the mainstream.

Exactly. It is nearly identical to Caddyshack - just with a swim club instead of a golf club. But otherwise the same movie. Sad-sack employee going after a girl way out of his league. Groundskeeper trying to eliminate a pest. Jokes about human waste in a pool. Etc, etc, etc.
