This Movie is like a breath of fresh air after drowning in crap of the similar type of movies. this film has actual jokes based on characters that come from build up’s that are planted throughout the whole film. Which actually shows talent in the screenplay.

This film took me totally by surprise I thought this would be another wasted useless teen sex comedy. While it stays true to it’s roots of being a teen sex comedy it is actually a good film also it’s rude and crude yet it has heart it harkens back to the 1980’s type of teen sex comedy without being a homage or trying as hard as recent films of the type have. It has faith in itself and it’s jokes which are surprisingly funny in each scene. The film goes for broke and while to many it will seem amateurish and misogynistic it does include a female lead who is involved in half of the gross outs itself.

This Film is like the “Thr Texas Chainsaw Massacre” the original where you think there is tons of gore and blood in that movie but if you go back and watch it. Yes the film is unsettling, but not really that gory. In This film there is not alot of actual nudity or sex, yes there is alot of talking about it.but not that much showing of it. when there is it is nice though.

The story is a virgin who has graduated high school meets a girl online who is willing to have sex with him and after striking out again and again he finally decides to go on a road trip to meet her. He brings his best male friend and his best female friend who might just be in love back with him. The film is fairly predictable in the usual sort of ways. But tends to shock more then expected.

There are so many surprising and memorable supporting characters in this film who cold each easily be a star of there own movie. It just has so many memorable classic comedy scenes that eve though it was not a hit at the box office I think it will gain a reputation on DVD. Deservedly so. I am not going to ruin the movie by talking too much about it or what is in it. It’s definitely a film to seek out and see. Buy if you can.

The cast is quite attractive and features great hilarious work by James Marsden as the Uber male tough guy, This is the best and most likeable i have seen him it opens him up more to me and i appreciate him as a actor. Clark.. duke as the suave womanizing geek sex god and the ever endlessly talented Seth green the king of sarcasm. Plus the unbelievable beauty of Alice Greczynn and Amanda Crew two of the most visually captivating newcomers I have seen in a long time. The characters i specifically remember that were hilarious are drunk amish girl and andy and randy the friends who have no filter

I am not judging the film just because I think the girls are cute I have given plenty of movies with hot girls bad reviews I will admit when I am bias towards a film.

This is definitely a film worth checking out. I look forward to the further work of writer director Sean Anders even if it is only within this genre.
