A weirdly tame, let’s-all-get-wasted riff on “The Purge” from the team behind such solid youth-focused comedies as “Banana Split” and “Big Time Adolescence,” Hulu original “” imagines an alternate America where all drugs and alcohol are illegal, except for a 12-hour window each year, during which time anything goes.
Given the superficial similarity to last year’s far-better “Booksmart,” it’s not terribly surprising that two of the leads — likable spazand long-haired weirdo Eduardo Franco — have been re-cast here in similar roles, in much the same way “Superbad” breakout Christopher Mintz-Plasse milked his McLovin persona for years.
More than just a satire of iconic excess, the “Scarface” reference is a reminder that “The Binge” is hardly the first movie to glorify over-the-top alcohol and drug use. In fact, such behavior is such a mainstay of teen comedies that this one seems practically demure by comparison, with its dorky jokes about Hags’ homemade party bike and how badly Griffin wants to ask Carlsen’s daughter Lena to the prom.
