Bumbling high school geek Virgil Heitmeyer (an endearingly gawky portrayal by Jay Michael Ferguson) has yet to lose his virginity. A golden opportunity for Virgil to finally get laid arises after Virgil manages to get closer to the beautiful and popular Kellie Guthrie (radiantly played by the luscious Allison Lange). Will Virgil's date with Kellie go smoothly? Or is he going to blow his big chance to score with the girl of his dreams? Writer/director Donald L. Gold uses the novel and compelling premise as an adroit means to meticulously craft a brilliant and incisive cinematic meditation on adolescent yearning and the awkwardness of youth. The witty and inspired jokes on such surefire knee slappers as erections, flatulence, vomiting, obesity, masturbation, and homosexuality are always uproarious and nothing short of remarkable, with a lovable foul-mouthed parrot providing some of the picture's biggest belly laughs. The expert use of actors and actresses who are well into their mid to late twenties to portray teenagers gives this movie an additional bracing accuracy and authenticity. The characters are drawn with breathtaking depth and humanity. Kudos are also certainly in order for the first-rate acting by the uniformly stellar cast, with especially stand-out contributions from Dee Wallace as Virgil's sweet mom Francine, Richard Kern as Virgil's jolly dad Stanley, portly wonder Michael Bower as Virgil's tubby best bud Dwayne, Danica McKellar as the stuck-up Debbie, Jordan Belfi as odious jock bully Scott Jordan, and Jodi Fleisher as the ditsy Amy. Buxom blonde bombshell Jamie Hogan has a sizzling bit as a sexy stripper. The ingenious plot twist at the end is genuinely surprising. The cool soundtrack hits the get down groovy spot. Howard Wexler's handsome cinematography and Chris Anderson's jaunty score are both smack dead on the money fantastic. A true masterpiece.
... View MoreWe just finished watching this.We figured it would bad, but there would probably be some nudity...so why not. (By the way there is next to none and it's not good.) DON'T WATCH THIS MOVIE. This isn't even funny bad. There isn't a plot, it uses clichéd parts from other movies, the acting is the worst I've ever seen (that kid was way better as Donkey Lips from "Salute your shorts").I'm not sure where it was trying to go. Now I know why I had never heard of it. It should be burned so no other person has the misfortune of wasting minutes of their life that would be better spent doing ANYTHING else.Pure garbage.
... View MoreI should have immediately known this was a bad movie when the biggest names in it were washed-up sitcom co-stars. This was by far, the worst thing I have ever seen. I could tell it would be a stereotypical teen comedy, and in fact I only watched it because it had Winnie Cooper in it, and I've been in love with her for as long as I can remember. Not anymore! I cannot believe anyone would sink so low as to make this movie. Every character is a stereotype, it has terrible acting, an atrocious script, and the most predictable plot I've ever seen in my life. There where characters that just stopped showing up halfway through the movie, scenes that contributed nothing to the plot and never went anywhere, and every sort of gross-out gag you can imagine. I could only suggest this movie if you feel like torturing yourself for an hour and a half.
... View MoreThis must be the worst movie I've ever seen. There is no plot, aside from the lead character trying to score the hot girl, which I can safely say has been done before. The acting is just awful, I haven't spotted one true emotion. The movie was cut together in a very unorganised way (and I'm not talking Pulp Fiction style) and seemed to just stop before the story was over (and I'm not talking Lock Stock style). Don't get me wrong, I liked American Pie, all three where a good way of passing time. Road trip was funny, and so was Euro trip. I'm not an enemy of the genre, just an enemy of this lousy movie. . out of *****Don't say i didn't warn you.
