Scorpion Cocktail is my love letter to the R-rated studio comedies of the 2000s—the kind of unfiltered, character-driven chaos we saw from filmmakers like Judd Apatow, Todd Phillips, and Adam McKay. This movie lives in the same world as Superbad, Due Date, and War Dogs—where wild situations test friendships, and the humor never shies away from the inappropriate. Scorpion Cocktail uses its outrageous setup to dig into something real. It’s about the creative anxiety of being young, broke, and ambitious in a world that constantly demands compromise. At its core, Scorpion Cocktail is a celebration of friendship, failure, and the wacky ideas you only get when you’re twenty, bored, and stuck on a road trip with your best friend.
