Refreshing and Funny
18 February 2011
The movie is funny, but like another reviewer said, it could use more locations and better plot and story - BUT that doesn't mean it's not funny. The movie is very funny, I can't take that away from it. It's just that it would be a better movie if it had a more intriguing storyline. It has more laughs than most comedies - especially ones it will be compared to like American Pie and Superbad, but overall, it's not quite as good as those movies.

It's refreshing because it may be the first "teen" comedy where nobody undergoes a big transformation. There are geeks, but they don't get the girl. One of the girls befriends the geeks, but that is all. Another geek loses the hot girl to his older brother (much older).

The main characters who are in relationships seem to realize they are in love, but they don't know where their relationship's are headed because they just got out of college and are still trying to decide what they want to do in life.

I laughed every time the one big geeky kid was on screen. He was perfect. The older brother, although possibly too old for the role, was perfectly arrogant and cool. The guy who works in the porn shop should have had a bigger role and may be the funniest person in the movie. The main girl who goes to college gives a very touching performance at times, especially for this movie - and this may be the saving grace for this movie - it can go from midgets, footjobs, strip poker and finding sex toys to a very serious discussion about what lies ahead in life - and most comedies can't do this realistically, or don't have the balls to do it at all.

You'll laugh. You won't cry (unless it's from laughing), but you will find the serious scenes a nice touch.
