Grudges begin to surface as soon as Sophie and Bee walk into the grand mansion to everyone’s shock. But their money still can’t mask the pettiness that runs amok amongst their ranks. With the exception of the modest Bee, these are all insufferably rich people, you see. The oddity in a sea of twentysomethings is Alice’s much older boyfriend, the 40-year-old Greg ( Lee Pace). Also in the mix would be Pete’s posey girlfriend Emma ( Chase Sui Wonders), the competitive go-getter Jordan (Myha’la Herrold) and the fiery Alice played by an intensely bold, charismatic and present Rachel Sennott (“ Shiva Baby”), the easy standout of the cast as a hilariously oblivious podcaster who can afford to talk a little less. With little snippets of information here and there, we pick up that they are in a fairly new relationship, on their way to a house party at the mansion of the very rich David (a goofy Pete Davidson), Sophie’s best, longtime friend. Played by an electric Amandla Sternberg (“ The Hate U Give”) and the wonderful “ Borat Subsequent Moviefilm” breakout Maria Bakalova respectively, the aforementioned snoggers Sophie and Bee are the first two of the bunch that we get to meet. This open-handedness is truly a bold gamble here, as Sarah DeLappe’s screenplay (from a story by Kristen Roupenian, the author of the wildly popular New Yorker short story, Cat Person), doesn’t exactly offer up a likable group of personas.
