We Need Rent Money
Synopsis: We Need Rent Money
Life is a party for three college kids: Larry, Fred, and Sanders until they flunk out of school and lose their financial aid. Now they have seven days to make $3,000 or get evicted. Fred vouches for Larry and gets him hired as an insurance salesman. Larry gets them both fired for taking their sales pitch over the top. Sanders goes to work for his father becoming Lil Sandpaper the rapper. After Sanders is assaulted at a concert, he discards his rapper persona and severs ties with his parents.
With no legitimate means of income, the dudes turn to desperate measures. Larry and Fred decide to sell weed for Fred’s drug dealer, White Wally. While Sanders decides to scam people over the phone with his girlfriend. Fred and Larry fail as dealers. Accidentally, they try to sell it to an undercover cop. Their failure draws suspicion from law enforcement. Later, Fred notices Sanders mid-scam; he tells Sanders to take the scheme elsewhere and Sanders rents out a storage unit with his girlfriend for their shady enterprise.
Fred and Larry decide to make pot brownies. Some of the brownies get eaten by their landlord Bill. Now Fred and Larry are in debt to their drug dealer and still behind on rent, causing them to dig themselves deeper into the hole by selling Molly for Wally. However, instead of making a profit, their landlord steals it. This theft causes their drug dealers to move into their apartments.
During a welcoming party for their new housemates, the dudes get an ultimatum from the drug dealers, “You guys must pay back or we are going to kill you.” After Sanders has an argument with his girlfriend, she quits the scams. So Sanders hires student scammers, but when Sanders finds out he's being investigated by the FBI, he ends the scam.
The cops believe Larry and Fred are the head of a major drug operation. The FBI is conducting surveillance on Sanders. Sanders lets Larry know he needs to get his laptop back due to some sensitive information on it, Larry tells him, “Sorry buddy, dealers are holding it as collateral.” Larry tries to get the laptop from them and he is beaten up. With their lives on the line, Fred sells one of his testicles. Larry sells a kidney and Sanders even gets waterboarded for a government experiment.
Still short of their monetary goal, the dudes come up with a plan to have one last party. The dudes want to go out with a bang. They invite all their enemies. This leads to a Mexican stand-off with the frat-boy, the cops, the FBI, and the drug dealers. The frat boys and the drug dealers are arrested. The dudes are evicted from their apartment. Sanders sends them a present of some of the dealer’s drugs. They sell the dope and part ways.
Five years later, the dudes are now men. They meet at a club to catch up on how their lives are going. Larry is a successful businessman, Fred is a family man and Sanders manages artists. Though they’re grown up, they still want to live in the past, so they smoke a joint outside the club. Their old landlord attempts to steal a joint from Sanders. The dudes, still upset that the landlord stole their drugs, beat him up.
As the movie ends, we see the surprise twist, the Dude’s girlfriends had taken their money and our protagonists never had a clue.
