From almost every angle, “21 & Over” is a total guy’s movie. There’s booze (lots of it), babes (that too) and an innumerable amount of wild scenarios that only a trio of alcohol-induced, recently reunited high school buddies would find themselves in. However, through all the testosterone-driven storytelling, Sarah Wright finds a way to stand apart from the cast as the film’s charming female lead. Wright, who you may recognize from her role as Ashley in “The House Bunny,” plays Nicole, a sorority-girl-meets-hippie type who catches the eye of “21 & Over’s” male lead Casey, played by Skylar Astin. While filming may have felt like a “boy’s club” of sorts, Wright claims that there was a clear advantage when it came to some of the film’s more severe scenes. “I was so happy to be left of the crazy antic they had to go through,” Wright said. “I was there for Justin’s slow-mo vomit scene and it was so brothers.” “21 & Over” opened nationwide Friday.
