Scottie (Hadjii) is studying --what, we never find out -- at college and shares a house with four friends. They party a lot, but after nearly getting arrested for DUI and becoming involved with a born-again nymphomaniac (Kaira Whitehead), Scottie makes reluctant stabs at sobriety and celibacy. Scenes sending up adult-literacy programs, "Scared Straight" prison ones, nerdy white and boisterous black churches, and those featuring the protag's Klumps-like older relations, sport some funny dialogue and OK situations. But perfs tend toward shrill, pic's look is drab -- and "Somebodies" remains stubbornly inconsequential.
