Expect too much, or lack the cultural indoctrination? SPOILERS!!!

Ah, another fine boys trying to get their first shags under their belts while simultaneously conquering the Ibiza DJ universe comedy. Although wanders around a bit, it has tons of great gags, the mega-huge inflating winkies in the trousers were a huge hit as a recurrent gag, the explosive zits Tetsuo: Iron Man style and the rest of the femme grooming sequence a total joyous gross out, DJ Eyeball Paul's antics and lingo banging, lotsa coastal clubbing eye candy and the beats throughout were ab fab fly. So the real question is whether I would have expected too much, or lacked the cultural indoctrination being American and never having heard of the show this is derived from? Perhaps, but never have I seen Germans teased as such, seldom see a new twist on a winkie gag (that's saying a lot by itself) and appreciated the very quick gesture conveying Eyeball Paul's ill intention that belys a deft grasp of the physical humor many hammer you over the head with it American comedies lack. True, American Pie is better wholistically. True, I'd rather have seen the full troupe from the TV show in the film because if a measley 2 can carry a show, I can only imagine what a hoot a dozen plus would have been. So I give it an average score, because it's a good place to start and I can only hope for more and better.
