The Core Drinking Game

Take a drink every time...

  1. You witness "science" or "technology". Take a second drink if this "science" involves magnets.
  2. Conrad Zimsky (Stanley Tucci) is a douchebag (basically every time he has a line).
  3. We are introduced to a new character. Take a second drink when you realized that a previously introduced character who seemed important is never going to be seen or heard from again. Take a third drink if you took a second drink for a character that inexplicably reappears later.
  4. Aaron Eckhart is messy/disheveled/unkempt/frazzled/neurotic and it is, like, so unbelievable, because when is Aaron Eckhart ever any of those things?
  5. A new city or famous monument* is shown or mentioned.

Take a bonus drink every time an actor delivers a cheesy line, stupid joke, or awful quip with the sort of gusto normally associated with good writing.


Finish your drink as DJ Qualls cries while melodramatically hacking the government's servers.



*Take an extra good chug when THE COLOSSEUM EXPLODES.

The Do-Over Drinking Game

NOTE: This drinking game is intended as entertainment, but DGMania is not responsible for the psychological effects of watching this movie.

Take a drink every time...

  1. There is a sexual joke (or just a non-sexual disgusting joke).
  2. David Spade is sad/bad things happen to David Spade (like his career!).
  3. There is obvious exposition/back story/plot point discussion.
  4. A joke or situation repeats and becomes more and more ridiculous each time (feel free to take two drinks if it's also gross or sexual).
  5. There are reference to high school or to high school sterotypes (if you think Adam Sandler is just one big high school stereotype feel free to waterfall constantly throughout this movie - it helps).
As a continuation of drink 5, take a bonus drink every time Adam Sandler just obviously wrote a movie where he gets to do everything a high school boy would think was awesome.

Finish your drink when this movie passes the point at which it would be feasible for anything to end up making sense and you accept that that isn't going to happen.

  2. Someone says "curse" or "Hamunaptra."
  3. American and British characters act like their respective stereotypes.
  4. Non-Western characters are jerks, money-grubbing jerks, and/or slobbering cowards.
  5. There is fire of some kind. (Oh, so much fire...)
Finish your drink for "he that shall not be named." (Let no one say this movie wasn't ahead of its goddamn time)

**Examples of questions one might ask of the movie writers when questioning whether they attended high school, ever:

  • Why does the school have its own radio station and a student DJ who provides narration from everywhere at all times?
  • Why does everyone seem to be walking around during school hours without a destination or purpose of any kind?
  • How can so much happen without there appearing to be any kind of class taking place?
  • Why are so many students wearing high heels and dresses?
  • How is the common area so nice? How are there picnic benches?
  • Why would Laney wear an apron to school?
  • Seriously, is there class? They've been watching people breaking up by picnic benches for so long.
  • Could it be more obvious that those backpacks have nothing in them? (Answer: No, it could not.)
  • How is the art room so big? Why does the teacher have a turban and a feather?
  • Does anyone have homework?
  • They go to the beach on what the movie clearly indicates is the day after they come back from spring break. Is there...not school again?
  • Is that kid doing a puzzle? How does he have time to do a puzzle?
  • Do they know you can't make someone eat pubes just by being popular? Also, aren't they in a school cafeteria right now? How is no one in any position of authority preventing students from loudly eating or making others eat pubes?
  • How is there a photoshoot in the school hallway?
  • What's up with the coordinated dance at prom? That doesn't happen, you guys.
  • The announcements/DJ guy is the prom DJ? We know he's Usher, but come on.
  • The art teacher is faxing art schools on a Saturday?
  • Paul Walker is supposed to be a senior and a virgin?
