Plot

The night before his big medical school exam, a promising student celebrates his 21st birthday with his two best friends.

Cast

Production

Principal photography was shot at University of Washington[1], while shooting of additional scenes began in Shandong province's Linyi Municipal Region in October.

Controversy

In mid-December Christian Bale, co-star of Relativity's 2010 production The Fighter, drove with a CNN camera crew to Linyi from Beijing, where he was promoting The Flowers of War. Bale said he wanted to meet and publicize a hero of his, the forced abortion activist Chen Guangcheng, a parajudicial house arrestee. The star may have chafed under accusations that his new film was a one-sided (i.e. anti-Japanese) account of the 1937 Nanjing Incident; Bale knew that Relativity had caught flak for filming 21 and Over in Linyi (under the rubric Skyland, which groups Relativity with IDG China Media, and, in this case Huaxia Film Distribution), bringing money and light-heartedness to the municipality which had such a bad human rights record.
