I find most of the National Lampoon movies outside of the American Pie's to be really sophomoric but watchable. This one is not all that funny although it has it's moments, but it is a lot better written and acted than their usual. There are some sophomoric jokes and pranks but the main focus is on a college boy (Adam) and a virgin college girl (Eve) who start dating. As the physical intimacy ramps up she always stops him before there is a home run. They do progress to where she only has panties on in one scene but he still can't slide home. After over nine months of whacking it he gets drunk one night and wakes up with a naked girl named Patty in his bed. He starts to pee with pain, goes to the doctor, finds out it is a urinary infection. Meanwhile Eve has been talking with a fellow sister who is also a sister and she decides to finally go all the way with Adam. Eve goes to his room to do the deed and Adam refuses to have sex because he has not yet found out he does not have an STD. She finds out about his indiscretion and gets rather upset. They stay apart for an unspecified time during which Adam finds out about his infection and that he and Patty did not actually do the dirty deed. After more chats with Sarah Eve finally figures out she can forgive Adam and goes over and gee they Git-R-Done. I found this movie to be a cut above most college dating movies in the way the whole relationship between Adam and Eve is handled. Sure Adam gets horny as hell from the cuddling and spit swapping but will only abuse himself and is willing to wait for Eve to decide when the time is right. Until the Patty event and then even drunk on his ass he wouldn't do more than sleep with her not "sleep" with her. Anyway everything seems to end well.

View MoreI think that if you ignore the fact that this is a National Lampoons film and is thought of as a romantic film with some comical moments then this is one of the greatest romance films I have ever seen. Even though it is Adam and Eve as character names this is probably the first time I have ever thought that the romance in a film has been realistic because you could actually believe that they were together not this stupid stereotypical rubbish you see in all the other movies out there. Yes they probably would be more deserving of the National Lampoons name but at least someone has got the romance theme right for once. but then if you see this as a National Lampoons film then this is terrible because it is simply not funny enough. I am going to give this film 7 out of 10 for the fact that is 1 of the greatest romance films I have ever seen but due to the tag National Lampoons it has it doesn't get the 10 out of 10 it deserves. Of course some of you may not agree with me but if you follow the story and listen to the heartfelt emotions in the movie then you will see what I see and if your looking for a classic National Lampoons film then I'm sorry but you'll probably be disappointed.
... View MoreI am only giving this one a 5 out of 10 because of all the disgusting frat boy humor. I can take frat boy humor, but in moderate amounts. I don't think many women want to know what a guy's balls smell like after at least a week of no bathing, anymore than a guy wants to know what a tampon left in for a week might smell like. Ugh! The one bright spot in this flawed comedy is Emmanuelle Chriqui. I don't know what draws her to so many frat boy comedies, but she is a very lovely, talented and charming actress who probably gets less respect that she deserves. She nails the realistic emotions of virgins everywhere. We were all virgins at one time, and it's true: For some reason, we just don't want to do it until that right, perfect (or as perfect as can be) moment comes. There are issues with intimacy, fear of being naked (figuratively, not physically) and the terror that once you open up and reveal your entire body and soul, that person will only betray you.I don't know what attracted Eve to Adam at all. He was just another damaged-goods frat boy with so many tattoos that it only made him look trashy. His haggard face also suggest a really rough lifestyle that included too much booze and probably some drugs too. He and his roommates are a bunch of slobs who lay around all day drinking, eating junk and watching porn.SPOILER AHEAD! It's just an opinion, but she was way too good for him and should not have even given him the time of day. Or maybe his tattoos and "rode hard and put away wet" appearance is what attracted her. As a character, Adam does seem sweet and sincere at times, but there just didn't seem to be anything that made him a standout. I didn't see anything special to fall for. He even cheats on Eve (or at least he thinks he did) with a gal that looks more to be his type, which is cheap and trashy.If Chriqui hadn't been in this film, I probably wouldn't have bothered, as I have never heard of any of the other cast members, save Chad Lindberg, who I enjoy in most of his other stuff. I might have even liked the movie better if Lindberg had been the lead male role. At least he isn't an illustrated man.
... View MoreThe movie is playing as I type this. How I netflixed this I have no idea, I think it was the National Lampoon tag. This is the worst move I've seen...ever. This is worse than Demolition Man, worse than Sleepless in Seattle, worse than The Replacements. I can't believe how bad this movie is. I thought the beginning was a lead in, and she was going to have a penis or something, but I'm slowly realizing that this movie is serious.The acting has got to be some sort of b-league intro to acting class rejects. I can't believe Michael Douglas's son is this bad. I might get really hammered to see if I find this more amusing, but I doubt it. Maybe they're going for the college stoner crowd. But are you kidding me?!?I hate myself for having sat through it this long.Charlie
