Story : Life's a party and home a party place for Eric Keppler. Till his dad decides to sell the beach house. Perhaps, yet another reason for Eric to host the big (ultimate) party....

Movie Review: What do you possibly expect when it comes to a movie with a title as this one? Perhaps loads of slapstick humour. Well, don't be surprised if you end up reading between the lines and getting some gyan on friendship, relationship, dating and love. Of course, there's enough to titillate the human mind.

Eric (Jason Sudekis) is a 30-year old happy-go-lucky youth who wants to make the last party at his favourite beach house different from all his previous parties held there. Obviously, nothing can be more daring than the infamous theme. But is it that simple? No, because he has a tedious task before him: 1)He has to convince his party buddies -- Duquez (Martin Starr), Adam (Nick Kroll), McCudden (Tyler Labine), Willow (Angela Sarafyan) and Alison (Lake Bell) -- to be a part of the wild evening. Here it's difference of opinion: intimacy is about emotions and not the four letter word. 2) He has to settle on a theme to add to the charisma of the evening. From Brown Bread to Sting, it's finally the Maharaja Indian theme that rules the chart. 3) The Big Q: What exactly does one do at a party like this! Watch the buddies take notes from videos, magazines and visit sex clubs to get a hands-on experience. Just the time when you get your dose of laughter. Add to that the uneasiness, take-a-deep-breath moments and the who-takes-the-lead situation when they meet on D-Day.... and the post party blues (read embarrassment).

For the rest, it's all about food for thought -- social awkwardness, real moments, taking back what has been taken from the new generation, relationship issues, heartbreaks. The idea, of course, is to do what you feel happy doing....
