Rated R for strong crude content and language throughout, some graphic nudity, drug use and brief violence (90 min)

When I first watched the trailer for this R-rated comedy, I thought to myself “yea, seems like a generic, dumb comedy. I’ll give it a shot.”

Indeed, ‘Buddy Games’ does have a couple kinda funny moments here and there. But, this comedy really falls flat. Almost reminds me of an R-rated version of ‘Grown Ups.”

• Shortest mini review as of now!

• And, no interesting tidbits about this comedy
