That's not what I meant, I put "Hollywood Law" in quotes for a reason.
This movie was produced by 20th Century Fox, and I am damn sure their lawyers will see to it that these kids get the absolute minimum. "Hollywood" (again in quotes) tends to get a fair bit more leniency than the average Joe.

not really, most studios get hammered in courts (I get some video trade mags, and see how often studios lose especially fox who is the little kid with a big mouth)

The plaintiffs -- listed as John Doe 1 and John Doe 2 -- were allegedly assured the film would not be shown in the U.S. and their identities would not be revealed.

They were both selected to appear in the movie and, according to the suit, taken "to a drinking establishment 'to loosen up' and provided alcoholic beverages." They claim they signed the movie releases after "heavy drinking."
So originally they weren't given releases, and now they claim they signed release forms AFTER drinking?

I'm sorry, but historically, "I'm drunk and therefore I'm not responsible for my actions" does not stand up in a court of law.

It does and it doesn't. I'd say with the level of stupidity involves with these kids, I'd say it doesn't hold up.

My girl wanted to see it, and I would just because she wanted to. I ended up loving it and she was highly dissapointed. I feel almost proud though, in a weird way. Those frat boys are from USC which is about 15 min away from my house. Thank god I'm not going there though.

*SMALL SMALL SPOILER*
I love when he drops the bag with the chicken and it goes "brrrgawwwk!"
