As a movie enthusiast who loves film, old and new, good and bad and all genres, seeing as this was part of the "people who liked this also liked" section on another sex comedy seen recently-Bikini Spring Break just to elaborate, as part of the compulsively terrible The Asylum filmography. That film was very bad too, but was still better than Chick Magnet, which was a chore to sit through and does everything wrong. And just to say to counterpoint the disgustingly ignorant defending reviewers, some people(including myself) did see Chick Magnet with an open mind and do have a sense of humour. You may have found it funny, we didn't, let's call it different tastes and leave it at that okay? I was certainly not Chick Magnet to be a masterpiece but still wanted to see a sense of effort being put into it. Unfortunately the low-budget, especially in the very choppy editing, really shows, if that was one of two or three things wrong with Chick Magnet probably those who genuinely hated the movie(again like myself) would have been more forgiving. When they find that the movie has next to no redeeming qualities at all, forgiving wouldn't be all that easy. Moving onto the other things that Chick Magnet manages to do badly, the soundtrack is not terrible-sounding but is not used very well at all, some of it is just there and doesn't add anything or fit. The dialogue is banal stupidity of the worst kind, with some of the dialogue exchanges enough to make your jaw drop to the floor in embarrassment. The comedy just isn't there, the humour is just forced and inane and the scenes they feature in are badly stretched out- therefore it's lost- and the actors don't do anything to make the comedy come through better. Chick Magnet does have a little plot, but it is a paper thin one and paced poorly, it is also too much of an excuse to string along sex scenes, nudity and comedy. The sex element of Chick Magnet is done with little passion or involvement, very going-through-the-motions. The characters are little more than really shallow stereotypes who don't learn from their mistakes or have any sense of development. The acting is just dire from all the lead roles, apart from Josh Beren who delivers a few mild laughs that the rest of the cast don't achieve. As with a fair few sex comedies the females are attractive in looks, but their talents are not in evidence in the acting stakes. It's also ironic that the names on top of the poster and DVD cover are also those of the actors who are only in the movie for as little as 10-15 seconds and for very little reason. To conclude, really poor even when trying to judge it fairly. 1/10 Bethany Cox
... View MoreAnyone who gives this movie more than a one star rating is a paid shrill for the makers of the movie. I went to school with Venables, the writer and actor of this movie... I should be rooting for him, but this movie is absolutely horrible.No plot, terrible acting, predictable script... wouldn't make it as a B-movie being shown on the TV of a B-movie.I actually recall 4th grade plays or church plays being better than this.Sorry Jeff...congrats on getting a movie out into the world from our hometown...but this one is for the trash bin.
... View MoreI have to rate it 10 out of 10, just to counter some of the haters above. If you like movies like national lampoons, and team America etc etc, then you might like this. I hate movies that sound like porno's with moaning and sex scenes trying to skate by as a movie.. but this one can get a pass. yes the movie would have been better without the breast scenes (ok i'm obligated to take that back as bound by a man rule) but anyway, the movie is pretty good for it's funny *lines*.it's not supposed to be a great acting tear jerker.. it's supposed to be a comedy, and.. it is *funny*! maybe it's a little low budget, but it has hilarious lines that I haven't heard before, and I really appreciate that. This is actually, a good movie, if you can embrace a little corniness which actually adds to it being funny.i mean really, some people need a better sense of humor. this movie is pretty freaking good.
... View More"Be warned, you cannot possibly understand the toll this gift exacts on the body, yes, but more gravely on the mind, on the soul." Phil (Venables) and Jen (Cady) are getting divorced and Phil moves out. When Phil and his friends run into a stranger with a shirt with the power for any man to get any woman he wants they think they have it made. Phil decides to try and use it on his wife. This movie is pretty much exactly what you would expect from the preview. A little bit of a plot and a lot of sex. This movie has the three main characters in any good movie like this. The sensitive guy, the fat dumb guy, and the cocky guy. This is no where near the quality of the "American Pie" movies and is barely watchable. Ten minutes in you can predict the ending. But all this really means nothing. When you watch a movie like this you watch it for one thing. Overall, an OK movie that runs out of laughs at about twenty minutes in. I give it a C.Would I watch again? - I doubt it.*Also try - Virginity Hit
