The Weekend

In the spirit of "Superbad" and "Dazed and Confused," "The Weekend" relishes the moments that made being a teenager so excruciatingly painful and fantastic. Over the course of a single weekend, various teenagers discover that, perhaps, they don't yet have it all figured out: Rich kid Jacob throws an elaborate weekend party, Benjamin thinks he's going to marry his hesitant girlfriend...

Directed by Michael Todd Kuskin, The Weekend leans on a strong ensemble — Beau Allulli, Daniel Bartkewicz, Theodore Bouloukos — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2007.
