Hanging at the bar with the guys from '21 and Over' -- VIDEO

Yes, the fellas in 21 and Over do get thrown out of bars in real life. Or so they say.

But that wasn’t an issue when EW sat down with the movie’s three stars — Skylar Astin, Justin Chon, and Miles Teller — at the Playwrite Tavern in Manhattan to discuss their nonstop party-fest extravaganza. Listening to their stories about working on and promoting the film, which opens in theaters today, you quickly learn things like the aforementioned bar incident — a reference to this late-night tweet — and the trio’s great chemistry, which is helpful when spending the majority of a movie bouncing off of each in other in various states of debauchery (and nudity).

Oh, and they all fell in love with $13 PB&Js while filming.

The movie was a bonding experience, not only for the three actors, but for their relationship with its fans. Some members of the audience feel so emboldened after seeing advance screenings that asking follow-up questions like, “Is anyone smoking a blunt after this?” or “Was that your real penis?” are totally no big deal. “The fans seem to dig it,” Teller said. “We’re so proud of this film, so honestly, if you get it, then you’re cool, and if you don’t, then you’re probably a nerd.”

Take a look at the video interview after the jump.

Sundance: 'The Spectacular Now' is a lovely and original teen movie. 'A.C.O.D.' is the comedy that Adam Scott fans have been waiting for

Remember how Elvis Presley looked when he was young? The perfect pompadour, the eyes a-twinkle, the smile so brightly and absurdly cocksure it seemed lit from within? Imagine Elvis reincarnated as a very tall and brainy American high school dude, with a quip for every occasion, and you’ll have an idea of the fresh yet slightly skewed charisma of Miles Teller, the gifted star of The Spectacular Now. He plays a high school senior about to graduate named Sutter, who would, at a glance, seem to have it all. Sutter already knows how to talk to the ladies — he looms over them — and the way he drops little aggressive jabs into his conversation could easily make him seem like a shark. Except that for all that snappy gift of gab, he exudes a sweetness that can’t be faked. He’s smart and clever and a little blissed-out, with a soft-edged understanding of other people. He coasts along in school, enjoys his part-time job (as a clerk at a men’s clothing store), and seems to get off on every moment of every day. So where’s the rub? During almost every one of those moments, he’s drinking (from a flask, or from a soda cup that he’s secretly spiked with whiskey). He’s precocious as hell, yet he lives in the moment, in the happy buzzed now, because he’s not interested in imagining a future. READ FULL STORY »

Elijah Wood will put his boyish charm to interesting use in The Late Bloomer, a comedy about a man who learns right before he’s about to turn 30 that he hasn’t finished puberty. This isn’t a high-concept studio comedy, either: The indie production is based on Ken Baker’s real-life memoir Man Made: A Memoir of My Body. Randall Einhorn (who’s helmed just about every episode of Wood’s FX series Wilfred) will direct from a script by Paul Kaplan and Mark Torgove (NBC’s Outsourced). [Variety]

• Miles Teller (Project X) is joining Zac Efron in the indie romcom Are We Officially Dating?, about three buddies who pledge to each other that they will each remain single — and then, wouldn’t you know it, they each begin to fall for someone. Writer-director Tom Gormican is making his feature debut with the project. [Variety]

• Richard Madden (i.e. Game of Thrones’ Robb Stark) will romance Rebecca Hall (The Town) in A Promise, a period drama about a budding couple torn apart due to World War I. Director  Patrice Leconte (Man on a Train) co-wrote the script with Jerome Tonnerre (Intimate Strangers). [Variety]
