Pete Newmans (Johnny Simmons) has a clever name for the film. He is a successful psychologist/ sex therapist/ author who doesn't have sex. We discover the reason why is he hasn't gone through puberty. His condition is cured and he transforms all at once, as we see a grown man act like a teen. He has a thing for Michelle (Brittany Snow) the girl next door, but suddenly has hormone problems and says things like a jealous teen.I didn't find the film very amusing. It is a low impact teen sex comedy. Good support cast.Guide: F-word and nudity.

This movie was smart and funny. The cast is spectacular with Johnny Simmons, a brilliant young actor who knocked it out of the park in his last movie "Dreamland", J.K. Simmons, an academy award winner, the lead of the wonderful "The Big Sick", and many more. Watched it with a couple of other people and they couldn't stop laughing. It's funny but it is also well written and acted with a message that is uplifting. I am a psychologist, and I thought that the movie did an excellent job with the theme of sex and understanding the development of your relationship to your sexuality at the same time as being wildly entertaining. In short, this is a superb movie that is brilliantly acted, directed and written.

This film tells the story of a doctor who educates on diverting people's sexual energy into some other aspects of life, and create success as a result. It turns out that he never underwent puberty, and hence has no sexual desire. When his condition is treated, he goes through puberty with hilarious results."The Late Bloomer" is really quite funny! The idea of someone supposedly grown up going through puberty is funny, and the story is funny too. The two sidekick friends provide good support to the story and to Peter, the main character. He learns how to deal with his mood swings, his sexual urges and basically learns to have a new place in the world. It is actually what all adolescents go through, but it is funny to see it happen in an adult. Because of the universality of the adolescent experience, people can relate to the story. I liked watching it.

First of all I love "stupid" sort of funny stoner types of movies. I can appreciate raunchy sort of humor. The problem with this movie is it just doesn't deliver. I'm a Kevin Pollak fan... and I think he was going for some sort of "American Pie" type of humor here...but it just misses the mark. Lot's of potential and a pretty good premise but just failed to make me actually laugh. I thought the lead actor was sort of meh in it...he did an OK job but wasn't very likable.... and had they done a few things differently I think it could've been funny. Some people probably will say this movie would only be funny to a certain type of person...but I'm that type of person...and it literally didn't even induce a smile. It's not that it wasn't well acted...because it was (kinda)...but they just didn't push the envelope far enough with this one. This is one movie that could've really used some extra raunch to make it funny. The relationship between the main character and his friends doesn't have any chemistry...the guy who is supposed to be the comic relief is just...not funny.... there is nobody likable in this film and that's sort of a problem in a movie where you're supposed to be pulling for the lovable loser...he isn't lovable... he is most certainly a loser...but ...I dunno this movie had a cool enough premise to be funny...they just failed miserably at making it funny in the slightest. Waste of a good cast. :-/
